Just watched & recommend: “Hidden Figures” chronicles the achievements of 3 black women at NASA in the ‘60s: - Dorothy Vaughn, first black supervisor - Mary Jackson, first black female engineer - Katherine Johnson, who calculated the first human orbit https://t.co/jRxHI7wQuP

We have many missions we're proud of, but here's one that doesn't get enough attention: community outreach. Here's our own Alex Pettit talking to 7th and 8th graders at Katherine Johnson Middle School in Fairfax, VA about what a Spacecraft Operations Engineer does. https://t.co/Y0JRyzVz1N

@NASA Mary Johnson was the first female African-American aeronautical engineer. Dorothy Vaughan was the first African-American Supervisor. Regarded as one of the most brilliant minds. Katherine Johnson performed calculations for Apollo II and the Space Shuttle. #gitlsintech
