Today we honor the women whose contributions to NASA are highlighted in the movie, Hidden Figures and the first African American female astronaut. Katherine Goble was a mathematician who contributed to our air and space programs with the early application of computers at NASA. Mary Jackson was a mathematician and aerospace engineer who became NASA’s first black female engineer.

Dorothy Vaughan was a mathematician and human computer who became the first African-American woman to supervise a staff of white women at NASA. Dr. Mae C. Jemison was a medical doctor, and the first African-American female astronaut. In 1992, she flew into space aboard the Endeavour, becoming the first African-American woman in space. What amazing women! We respect their impact on our space program.
