Thank you for sharing.

For right now she is staying at the state level. I'll post anything new about her is I see it.

An incredibly brilliant and accomplished woman, who played an important role in pretty much every major milestone in the space program in the 60s and 70s I especially like that (given the modern world's utter faith and reliance on computers), the other engineers at NASA wouldn't trust their computer's results until they had been verified by Johnson.

Glad to see she's getting some public recognition.

And I'm sad that this wasn't commonly known years ago.

She may not be a household name, but she's not lacking in professional accolades (including a Presidential Medal of Freedom, and one of the American flags returned from the moon) and is pretty much a living legend at NASA.

But I know what you mean. The space program is widely regarded as on of the most impressive feats of human civilization, and something that most Americans take a great deal of pride in. You'd think that the fact that one of its chief architects was a black woman, in an era when either category was a huge barrier to professional advancement, would be better known.

Well done flick, "Something the Lord Made." Great acting with Mos Def, Alan Rickman, Kyra Sedgwick.
