Three brilliant African-American women at NASA - Katherine (a) , Dorothy (b) , and Mary (c) served as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in history: the launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit, a stunning achievement that restored the nation’s confidence, turned around the and shocked (d) the world!
The women worked as human (a) . Before electronic computers, the term “computers” referred to (b) rather than machines. “Computers” would perform complex mathematical calculations by hand. Their job was to trace, in extreme detail, a spaceflight’s exact path from liftoff to splashdown. They used math to calculate distance, speed, velocity, and more to ensure safety during space missions.
