Just gonna say it now as an aerospace engineer,
Katherine Johnson is my freaking hero. I aspire to have her level of genius.
I was watching Hidden Figures tonight, and watching Katherine, Dorothy, and Mary work their magic actually made me tear up and I’m not entirely sure why.
These women were fucking brilliant and the fact that we didn’t hear about them until 60 years later breaks my heart.
Imagine what they could’ve done with our modern technology.
Imagine what leaps they could have achieved if they had free reign to hone their brilliant minds.
I hope their grandchildren and great-grandchildren are so proud of what they did, because I certainly am.
