Katherine Johnson

[tiger76]

Pioneering African-American Nasa mathematician Katherine Johnson has died at the age of 101.

One of the unsung heroines of countless Nasa missions,most notably Apollo 11,and a major trailblazer for the African-American community at a time of segregation.

RIP Katherine

What a career

Pity she has to die aged 101, before she receives publicity and acknowledgement!

Well they did make a movie about her...

But point taken, it took too long.

Pity she has to die aged 101, before she receives publicity and acknowledgement!

And ditto for the lady pilots who flew planes between bases during the War, the many female spies during the same conflict, and the young women who worked at Bletchley Park, not to mention the great Beatrice Shilling, who's device cured Rolls Royce Merlin engines of their propensity to cut out during attacking manoeuvres during a " Dog-fight " ...

RIP Katherine. A long distinguished career and a great movie about that career.
She wouldn’t be as happy to know that in binary she was only 5.

Sorry to be pedantic but in binary she would have been 1100101. i.e. still 101 years old.
