>NASA "computers" were black btw, had significant impact on the program. One astronaut denied to board a rocket until the black head of the mathematicians said NASA's calculations were okay.
Nasa employed several thousand women as calculators
Hidden Figures is blatant propaganda and we wuzzing and Katerine Johnson is hardly black

So they were just backroom number crunchers I guess being a calculator was pretty respectable work back in the day, especially for women.
pic related is the real Katherine Johnson

Reminds me a little of the women that contributed to the Bruteforce modeling the positional variation of the poles

This movie is not made to show their achievements, it's made as a political statement that muh black women saved us.

Pic related the real Katherine Johnson, not the sassy black thing they portrayed in the movie.
