When Calculations Powered Dreams: The Women Behind America's Space Triumphs
In the summer of 1957, a young woman sat at a desk in Pasadena, her pencil flying across graph paper as she calculated rocket trajectories that would soon make history. While the world celebrated male scientists and astronauts, these women-known as "computers" before machines took that name-worked behind the scenes, their mathematical brilliance propelling America's journey to space. These pioneers didn't just break gender barriers; they became the world's first computer programmers, guiding spacecraft to the moon, Venus, Mars and beyond. Their calculations, converted into code, still navigate spacecraft through our solar system today-a legacy of women literally written in the stars.
