Mary Jackson – NASA’s First Black Female Engineer
Mary Jackson was a trailblazing mathematician and aerospace engineer who broke racial and gender barriers at NASA during the height of the space race. Born in 1921 in Hampton, Virginia, she began her career as a math teacher before joining NASA’s predecessor, NACA, in 1951.

Working in segregated conditions, she became known for her brilliant calculations and problem-solving skills. After years of pushing boundaries, Mary became NASA’s first Black female engineer in 1958. She contributed to crucial wind tunnel and flight experiments, helping design spacecraft that could withstand extreme speeds and conditions.

Later in her career, she chose to step down from engineering to work in human resources so she could advocate for women and minority scientists. Her courage and leadership opened doors for generations of space pioneers.

"You have to make sure you have the skills. Then, demand the right to use them." – Mary Jackson

The Human Computer Who Launched NASA Into Space

Katherine Johnson was a trailblazing African-American mathematician whose brilliant mind helped NASA reach the stars. Born in 1918 in West Virginia, she showed extraordinary math skills from a young age and graduated college at just 18. Despite the racial and gender barriers of her time, Katherine joined NASA (then NACA) in the 1950s, where she calculated flight paths for historic space missions.

Her most famous work included the trajectory for John Glenn's orbital flight in 1962. Glenn trusted her numbers so much that he refused to launch until she personally verified the computer calculations. Katherine’s genius and quiet courage helped send astronauts to the Moon and return them safely to Earth.

In 2015, she was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and in 2016, her story inspired millions in the film Hidden Figures. Katherine Johnson proved that brilliance knows no race or gender—and her legacy continues to inspire future scientists and dreamers.
