Book Synopsis :
The inspiring autobiography of NASA mathematician Katherine Johnson, who helped launch Apollo 11.Throughout Katherine Johnson?s extraordinary career, there hasn?t been a boundary she hasn?t broken through or a ceiling she hasn?t shattered. In the early 1950s, she joined the organization that would one day become NASA, and which had only just begun to hire black mathematicians. Her job there was to analyze data and calculate the complex equations needed for successful space flights. As a black woman in an era of brutal racism and sexism, Katherine faced daily challenges and often wasn?t taken seriously by the scientists and engineers she worked with. But her colleagues couldn?t ignore her obvious gifts?or her persistence. Soon she was computing the trajectory for Alan Shepard?s first flight and working on the Apollo 11 mission that landed the first men on the moon. Katherine?s life has been a succession of achievements, each one greater than the last.Katherine Johnson?s story was made
