Yes sir

We’re just on our way to work.

NASA, sir

NASA? I had no idea they hired...

There are quite a few women working in the space program

When they told me about the story in the very beginning

It’s a story that is true. I just thought I have to be apart of this

How the hell did we find our self in second place in a two man race?

I refuse to believe that the Russians are smarter than us.

Find a genius among those geniuses

My dad is actually a NASA Langly retired research scientist

which is how I got to know about this story

They’ve never had a colored in here before Katherine.

Don’t embarrass me

I knew Katherine Johnson and many of the other women

that I’m writing about because they worked here with my dad

I took great pride in the work that was given to me

Colonel Glenn’s launch coordinates

I have told you this, computers don’t author reports. Fix it

Those are my calculations, my name should be on it

That is not the way this works

What they did

had a lot to do with where we are in space and science today

Whose work is that?

Katherine Goble sir

You did the math?

I look beyond

They’ve been buried in history

Pages of history that hadn’t been uncovered

How come I’ve never heard this story about these women

who calculated launch windows for the astronauts?

We’re orbiting earth at what speed now?

17,544 mile per hour

NASA offered them an opportunity

They wanted to be treated equally

She is a woman. There is no protocol

for a woman to attend these meetings

Ok I get that part Paul

Katherine

She said she wanted this story told

I knew how important it was

It’s a story of three women whose God-given abilites

were allowed to flourish and make a difference

That’s it

These women were the heroes behind the scenes

We all get there together or we don’t get there at all

That’s empowerment

We’re in the fight of our lives people

5, 4, 3, 2, 1

We have lift off
