Born in 1918, Katherine Johnson was one of the first Black students to integrate West Virginia’s graduate schools before becoming a NASA mathematician, where she helped send astronauts into orbit around Earth and to the moon and back. She is an awardee of the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and the 2020 recipient of the Hubbard Medal, National Geographic’s highest honor, recognizing a lifetime achievement in research, discovery, and exploration.

What do you find most inspiring about Katherine Johnson's story?

@taanyakumar8875 3 года назад

The way she kept going on and loving maths even though she was discriminated for her race and gender. Nowadays it is rare to see people like her, hardworking, passionate about her studies and persevering even in the darkest storms. I'm not a person who loves maths, but I love physics, especially astronomy. Seeing someone with such love, determination and skills is really inspiring. People like her need to be known and respected. I am truly in awe and I hope she rests in peace after giving mankind such a big opportunity and proving that no matter what race, gender or age you are, your passion and determination can change the world and give hope to others. RIP Katherine Johnson. We'll make sure your legacy lives on.

Is it true that National Geographic have removed the Gina Carano episode from Season 6 of Running Wild with Bear Grylls? Katherine Johnson would be appalled at the prejudice in Disney and National Geographic's treatment of Gina Carano.

So many females & black females have had to live with frustration & anger when they know they are equally as clever if not more so than their male counterparts. Margaret Thatcher had a degree in bio chemistry from Oxford & a degree in law & was asked in 1972 if there would be a female PM in her lifetime. Such a nitwit fatuous question.

One great thing about this movie was it shined a light on a hidden history and people myself and many others knew nothing about. Knowing that your calculations held life and death for the people sent to space must have been a sobering experience. One of these days when we start naming spacecraft again, her name should be on one, I figure (pun intended) it will be a lucky ship!

And it all happen thanks to this amazing lady and the other two who were so much involved in having the astronauts safe return to earth ,that was an amazing achievement especially for the time and Katherine Johnson made it possible !

Its only within the last 2-3 years I’ve heard about the astounding contributions to spaceflight made by this black math prodigy. 1. Mind boggling calculations to put US astronauts in orbit (1962) 2. She did the calculations for the legendary Apollo 11 lunar module moon landings in 1969. 3. As if that wasn’t enough for a 100 lifetimes achievement, she then calculated the trajectory to guide the doomed Apollo 13 spacecraft back to earth in 1970, Saving the astronauts lives. I’m ashamed to only know of this black woman’s staggering accomplishments 50 years too late. This was exactly the ‘rocket fuel’ role model motivation that could have helped me and many other clever black kids of my generation growing up under difficult or circumstances in the 1970s.
