When my father first came to this country his first job was at NASA. She lived a long and wonderful life. I'm glad she got to see her life's work made into a film before she passed.
RIP |

RIP.
I only became aware of her impressive life and lasting impact in recent years. A real pioneer.

What a remarkable woman. Hidden Figures was a wonderful movie and a great tribute to Ms. Johnson (and the others depicted in the film). I remember that she made an appearance at the Oscars in 2017, though she was in a wheelchair and was certainly very frail by that time. Still, 101, that's quite a run.
RIP to an American hero and, as BVH said, a pioneer. |

Back when that medal meant something. 3 years seems like a lifetime these days

It's a piece by a DC and Marvel artist named Bill Sienkiewicz
