>She calculated the trajectory of man’s first trip to the moon, and was such an accurate mathematician that John Glenn asked her to double-check NASA’s computers. To top it off, she did it all as a black woman in the 1950s and ’60s, when women at NASA were not even invited to meetings.
>And you’ve probably never heard of her.
>Meet Katherine Johnson, the African-American woman who earned the nickname “the human computer” at NASA during its space race golden age.
>An upcoming movie called Hidden Figures will celebrate her life and those of her black female colleagues, all of whom did important work against unbelievable odds but whose stories have gone largely unknown. The movie, set to come out in January 2017, will feature Taraji P. Henson as Johnson and music by Pharrell Williams.
>In interviews, Johnson, now 97, remembers how her brilliant calculations—which she did largely by hand—forced NASA to accept her.
>“I just happened to be working with guys,” she said, “and when they had briefings I asked permission to go. They said, ‘The girls don’t usually go.’ I said, ‘Is there a law?’ And they said, ‘No.’ So then my boss said, ‘Let her go.’”
>So she went. And, with her help, NASA went to the moon.

women were used all the time as codemonkeys from the 50s-60s like at IBM
computer programing only became "male" around the 80s when computer companies started being run out of your basement by nerds. It was no longer "cool" and it became for geeky losers so women flocked away from it.
Then once being a nerd became "cool" again (after the Big Bang Theory) women started coming back and calling nerds "sexist" for not having enough female representation.

This retarded article is propaganda depending on conflation between the modern meaning of "computer" and the meaning of "computer" in the 1950s. Back then "computer" meant "person hired to do menial data entry tasks." She did the trivial arithmetic everyone else knew how to do but didn't do themselves because it was beneath them.

Actually hundreds of people rechecked calculations used by NASA for the Apollo project. Johnson is the most famous since she was a black woman which was very unusual to have in those types of positions at that time. Most of them were goofy old guys with slide rulers.
>>73407952
And what does her race have to do with her achievement?
Are you saying it's surprising that she achieved this given that she's a black woman?
That's pretty fucking racist you Kurdish Kunt.

That's right, Soviet Union never denied Moon landing and they would do anything to prove it was fake. And the Apollo 11, 14 and 15 left three prismatic reflectors on Moon surface, for nearly 40 years they are used for precise measurement of the distance of the Earth-Moon system with lasers. Measurements accuracy reaches -2 milimeters.

Even if this woman single-handedly built the first space shuttle in her back garden and then piloted it to the Moon by herself then what would it mean?
She faced far more prejudice in the 50s and 60s than black people do today and she still managed to do something with her life, so all it does is highlight the fact that blacks today have no fucking excuse to be the way that they are.

>>73407952
How black is she? 25%?
For fuck's sake, she's got blue eyes and white skin.
I also find it odd that they need to point out women like these, including >>73409883
as if their accompishments were achieved because they were women, and that they did something men couldn't do. Fact is, 99% of the people behind these projects were white men. These women were the outliers.
That being said, I'm not trying to take anything away from them, but the propaganda surrounding them is idiotic bigotry. It also implies that when a woman can do something that thousands, if not millions, of men can do, they're heroes. Isn't this sending the opposite message that these feminist morons are trying to convey?

After reading her wikipedia page and looking through the sources, she doesn't seem to be anything special. She seems to have worked as a sort of mathetical secretary in a pool of women who did the same thing, but got promited slightly beyond that, because she was good at her job.
I can't find any viable evidence that she actually contributed anything new. She essentially worked as a secretary who did mathematical calculations, based on rather strict guidelines. Unfortunately, no one is going to bother to fact check her story, because that would destroy that person's career and reputation.
