Hidden Figures Shorts
Description: This group of ladies makes the perfect Nasa Squad Goals. The stars of the movie "Hidden Figures," Katherine G. Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson were brought to the public eye along with the rest of the women computers that were so invaluable during the time that NASA was racing to get to space.
Description: A "mission patch" for the "WEST AREA COMPUTING UNIT", celebrating the women of colour working as computers (the original, human kind) calculating orbits for the engineers at NASA's predecessor NACA in the 40's and 50's. They were portrayed in the book and film Hidden Figures. The smoke from the rocket is made up of actual equations from one of computer Katherine Johnson's technical reports. The rocket is the Atlas LV-3B carrying the Mercury capsule Friendship 7 with John Glenn in 1962.
Description: In memory of and gratitude for Katherine Johnson, who among many other amazingly skilled, under-recognized black women, fundamentally changed our vision of the universe. Rest in power ❤️

The Mercury spacecraft, named Friendship 7, was carried to orbit by an Atlas LV-3B launch vehicle lifting off from Launch Complex 14 at Cape Canaveral, Florida.
