Katherine Johnson, one of the history-making, barrier-breaking NASA mathematicians depicted in "Hidden Figures," died Monday, the administrator of NASA said.

She was 101.

"Johnson helped our nation enlarge the frontiers of space even as she made huge strides that also opened doors for women and people of color in the universal human quest to explore space," NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine said in a statement.

In a tweet, he called Johnson "an American hero."



She said her greatest contribution to space exploration was making "the calculations that helped sync Project Apollo's Lunar Lander with the moon-orbiting Command and Service Module." In other words, helping to put men on the moon in 1969.



But astronauts weren't keen on "putting their lives in the care of the electronic calculating machines, which were prone to hiccups and blackouts," according to NASA. So Glenn asked engineers to "get the girl," referring to Johnson, to run the computer equations by hand. “If she says they're good,'” Johnson remembered Glenn saying, “then I'm ready to go.”

It's ironic that chimps put men on the moon. Or so they fantasize.

So, who the hell set up these "equations" to begin with? Any fucking moron or monkey can plug figures into a given formula and crunch out the results. So we're supposed to be impressed, because some high yella nigger got trained in long division.

I was thinking for a moment I would love to see ALL niggers shipped to the moon. But that would darken the moon coonpletely.

Well, a nigger with an IQ of 60 is a genius.

Such bullshit all the way around.

So she was the one who claimed that John Glenn said those words of praise about her? Nothing to back this up other than her nigger bullshit?
