00:00:02,020 --> 00:00:04,390
Who were the "Hidden Figures" that enabled NASA to

00:00:04,390 --> 00:00:08,390
safely send humans into space?

4
00:00:08,390 --> 00:00:10,460
Katherine Johnson and her colleagues provided

5
00:00:10,460 --> 00:00:12,430
orbital calculations critical to the success

6
00:00:12,430 --> 00:00:14,970
of human spaceflight.

7
00:00:14,970 --> 00:00:22,600
Her legacy lives on in the new movie Hidden Figures.

8
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:25,650
Katherine Johnson's work and career continue to

9
00:00:25,650 --> 00:00:29,450
inspire people at NASA Ames in Silicon Valley.

10
00:00:29,450 --> 00:00:32,080
Yvonne Cagle: "Katherine Johnson was not limited to

11
00:00:32,080 --> 00:00:35,260
or by the thinking of others."

12
00:00:35,260 --> 00:00:37,420
Aga Goodsell: "She had to overcome many barriers

13
00:00:37,420 --> 00:00:40,670
and obstacles, not only being a woman, but being

14
00:00:40,670 --> 00:00:42,790
a woman of color."

15
00:00:42,790 --> 00:00:44,770
Gilena Monroe: "It literally brought tears to my eyes

16
00:00:44,770 --> 00:00:48,330
because I'd never seen anyone that looked like me

17
00:00:48,330 --> 00:00:51,510
that had been so mission critical to NASA."

18
00:00:51,510 --> 00:00:54,300
Yvonne Cagle: "So let each of us set our

19
00:00:54,300 --> 00:00:59,080
