Katherine Johnson was a mathematician who spent her life overcoming racial and gender hurdles and, for decades, helped NASA send astronauts to the moon and return them safely home. During the 50s and 60s at NASA, she and other women worked as “human computers,” figuring out the difficult calculations needed for spaceflight. Her biggest accomplishments include helping calculate the trajectory, or path, of the country’s first human spaceflight, helping figure out John Glenn’s orbit of the planet, and, in 1969, calculating the trajectories of Neil Armstrong’s historic mission to the moon on Apollo 11.
