Storyboard Tekst
- Hello my name is Katherine Johnson and I was born on August 26, 1918 ... located here in West Virginia with my parents and my three other siblings .
- I had always been very intelligent and smart and even finished high school at the age of 13. I have always had a passion for math, especially higher level math..
- Oh! look,,, the NACA is hiring women with math experience, this may be too good to be true but it is worth a shot.
- In the 1940's-1950's after Katherine was much older out of college with three kids and married, NACA had been hiring women with math experience; preferably white women because of segregation, but by law were required to let black women in to. So Katherine did look as this as an opportunity to use her skills so she did drive to the facility and request for an application.
- It had been one year since Katherine put in an application for NACA. In shock, they offered her a job at the facility. On her first day she was amazed, because by surprise she had been in an environment filled with black women with such intelligence such as her, that had also been computing machines.
- Two weeks after Katherine had been working there, she had been brought out of a room by a staff to be moved positions due to the fact that she was the smartest black "computer" in the building. The engineer led her into a room full of white men, and when she arrived she had been asked to review a set of calculations by one of her team members and caught the mistake immediately. At that moment she had proved her value and they did not want to lose her as their teammate.
- who is she ?
- Jimmie's (Katherine's husband) passed away from brain tumor in late the late 1950's, she was heartbroken but she later turned to work and her daughter's for emotional support and to move past it.
- I am gonna miss dad so much ):
- Katherine soon found a new man and remarried ... His name was Jim. NACA had turned into NASA and the new goal the facility wanted to accomplish was making a way to put Americans into space.
- In the 1960's Katherine had been put to the test of putting the first American to orbit around Earth. One of the difficult parts for her was figuring out where the spacecraft would land. Two years later that day after Katherine's calculations, two days had went by and John Glenn was going to be the first American to orbit around Earth. He felt that if her calculations were right, that he would be able to go into outer space. In 1962, Katherine learned her calculations were right because John was able to orbit the planet a couple times and landed back on Earth safely. Katherine's math was put to the test and let's just say that the Black Press celebrated this moment to the fullest extinct.
- F= G m1 m2r2Br(T) = 2ckT r4eir+1=0
- President Kennedy challenged NASA to launch a spacecraft onto the moon's orbit and this had become another huge task for Katherine to complete, considering that she was an important member of the team. In 1969 she surprisingly finished up all her calculations and Neil Armstrong had been the first man to walk the moon thanks to her. Over time, seventeen years had passed and she had been working extremely hard for NASA and did not until 1986. In honor of Katherine Johnson, NASA named its new computing facility after her in 2017. At the age of one hundred and one years, old Katherine passed away and met the gates of heaven and was known for her brains as a black woman.
