>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.

Doing mundane calculations is not the same thing as doing actual analysis. She was essentially a mathematical spell-checker. Today, she would essentially be a high school intern making 10-15 bucks an hour.

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.

Margaret Hamilton was lead software engineer for Apollo space program. Her work prevented an abort of the Apollo 11 moon landing and she’s also credited for coining the term "software engineer".
Those stacks are the code she wrote for Apollo 11.

You do realize russia watched us go up the whole way as well as china right? If we faked the trip they would have been the first to scream that we didn't with empirical proof.

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.
Eli Flores
She was one of the code pioneers.

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.
Gabriel Stewart
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.

No m8 its simply your repeating yourself without ever taking in a very real possibility that the military industrial complex like many other times in history use false rivalries to garnish support for said complex especially one with unprecedented technological advancement and fun ind on both sides in the most unorthodox "War" the 21st century ever seen
Aiden Fisher
At least programmers were cheaper than the machines they wrote code on.
Robert Rogers
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.

What you mean is she did a bunch of mathematics that could quite literally have been totally false, but no one was able to check because no one really landed on the moon
