Miss Johnson passed away today at 101 years old a true American Hero and Pioneer in space exploration mathematics and aeronautics .  She and her team led the way in the space race, as well as the human race.

Hidden Figures a movie that chronicles her work with NASA is a must see.

God Bless and may she rest in peace.

A real hero and yet no fan fare, no celebrity posts, and sadly no mention on the news that I saw. If only she had played for the Lakers too. Our priorities sometimes seem odd. Just sayin".

What he said.

Space exploration literally would not have been possible without her orbital mechanics calculations. How crazy is that?

I agree with the bass ackwards priorities of media and our culture, but I also disagree with the Kobe hate. He inspired a generation of people, including myself, on what it means to work hard for success. That is a lesson you can apply to every aspect of your life.

No Kobe hate here. Sad he went so young, seemed like a good guy. Just commenting on what makes you famous. Two of my favs were Ernie Banks & Walter Peyton, just as great players, just as good men. Memorials didn't fill a stadium with singing & dancing. Enough from me, lets go fishin'.
