ONE half-black woman (Katherine Johnson) had a job to check the calculations of the NASA computer with a slide rule. It was never wrong. That’s IT. Like with most innovations in world history it was men, whether White, Asian, Jewish or otherwise, who got it done.
Hey, womyn have always lead the way in Everything.
