About This Book

VOLEVANO CAMBIARE LE LORO VITE. INVECE HANNO FATTO LA STORIA. Se John Glenn ha orbitato intorno alla terra e Neil Armstrong Ăš stato il primo uomo a camminare sulla luna, parte del merito va alle scienziate della NASA che negli anni Quaranta, armate di matita, regolo e addizionatrice, elaborarono i calcoli matematici che avrebbero permesso a razzi e astronauti di partire alla conquista dello spazio.Tra loro c'erano anche Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson e Katherine Johnson. Chiamate in servizio durante la Seconda guerra mondiale a causa della carenza di personale maschile, quando l'industria aeronautica americana aveva un disperato bisogno di esperti con le giuste competenze, queste tre donne afroamericane lasciarono le proprie vite per trasferirsi in Virginia a lavorare per il Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory. Il loro contributo, benchĂ© le leggi sulla segregazione razziale imponessero loro di non mescolarsi alle colleghe bianche, si rivelĂČ determinante per raggiungere l'obiettivo a cui l'America aspirava: battere l'Unione Sovietica nella corsa allo spazio e riportare una vittoria decisiva nella guerra fredda.
