@drums.of.ubuntu: FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES. What if I told you the reason astronauts can safely return to Earth… was because of a Black woman whose name was almost forgotten? Her name is Katherine Johnson — a mathematical genius who played a critical role in early space missions at NASA. In a time of segregation, she broke barriers and solved one of the most dangerous problems in space travel: how to bring astronauts back to Earth without burning up or missing the planet. In 1962, astronaut John Glenn trusted her calculations over computers before launching into orbit. That decision helped make history — and saved lives. This is the powerful true story of intelligence, resilience, and Black excellence that helped shape modern space exploration. 🎥 Watch till the end — this is a story they didn’t teach in school. #KatherineJohnson​ #HiddenFigures​ #NASA​ #BlackHistory​ #BlackExcellence​​
