They asked Katherine Johnson for the Moon, and she gave it to them. With little more than a pencil, a slide rule and one of the finest mathematical minds in the country, Mrs Johnson, who died in 2020, worked out the exact track that would let *Apollo 11* land on the Moon in 1969 and, after Neil Armstrong's history - making moonwalk, let it come back to the Earth.
Yet throughout Mrs Johnson's 33 years at NASA and for a period of decades (数十年) afterwards, almost no one knew her name.
Born in White Sulphur Springs, West Virginia, in 1918, Mrs Johnson showed great talent for numbers at an early age which made her skip several grades in school. At 14, she entered college and graduated with the highest grades in 1937.
Mrs Johnson was one of several hundred strictly educated, with strong ability yet largely unknown women who, well before the modern feminist movement(女权运动), worked as NASA mathematicians. But it was not only her sex that kept her long unknown. For some years at mid - century, the black women were influenced by double segregation (隔离). They were kept separate from the much larger group of white women who in turn were segregated from the agency's male mathematicians and engineers.
Mrs Johnson broke barriers (屏障) at NASA. In old age, Mrs Johnson became the most celebrated of black women who served as mathematicians for the space agency. Their stories were told in the 2016 Hollywood film *Hidden Figures*, which was nominated for three Oscars, including Best Picture.
In 2017, NASA named a building after her. That year, *The Washington Post* described her as "the most high - profile of the computers"—"computers" being the term at first used to describe Mrs Johnson and her workmates, much as "typewriters" were used in the 19th century to represent professional typists.
"She helped our nation enlarge the frontiers of space," NASA's administrator, Jim Bridenstine, said in a statement, "even as she made huge steps that also opened doors for women and people of colour to explore space."
As Mrs Johnson herself liked saying, her term at Langley—from 1953 until her retirement in 1986—was "a time when computers wore skirts".
