Four Women Who Made Scientific History
Katherine Johnson (1918-2020)
Katherine Johnson was a black mathematician and one of the first African-American women to work as a NASA scientist. As a mathematician, she calculated (计算) and analyzed the flight paths of NASA spacecraft. She is best known for making the calculations that allowed the first Americans to enter Earth's orbit and set foot on the moon. The 2016 movie Hidden Figures records Johnson's life and work at NASA.
Sally Ride (1951-2012)
Sally Ride was important in creating career and educational opportunities for women and girls in science and mathematics. As an astronaut, she became the first American woman in space in 1983. On NASA's second and third Space Shuttle missions, her job was to work the robotic arm, which she used to put satellites into space. After she stopped working for NASA, she founded NASA's EarthKAM project, which provided students the opportunity to take pictures of the Earth and then study them. In 2003, she was added to the Astronaut Hall of Fame.
Ada Lovelace (1815-1852)
Ada Lovelace is regarded as the world's first computer programmer. She helped develop the idea for a computing machine, and invented an algorithm (算法) for a computer. To honor her contributions, the U.S. Department of Defense named a new computer language “Ada” in the 1980s.
Mae Jemison (1956- )
Mae Jemison is a doctor, engineer, and former NASA astronaut. In 1992, she became the first Black woman to travel into space. Jemison excels in many scientific fields, has authored several books, and even appeared on an episode (一集) of Star Trek: The Next Generation.She was included in the National Women's Hall of Fame and the International Space Hall of Fame. Currently, she leads the 100 Year Starship project through the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency. This project is devoted to ensuring that human travel to another star is possible in the next 100 years.

Catherine Murphy,a cafe worker in a green shirt and black hat,makes sure that each customer gets exactly what they order.She goes back and forth between machines to make the drinks. 2 As the customer grabs the drink from her hand,she smiles and says,“Hello,how is your day?”Even when the line is getting longer,she doesn't let it get in the way of her genuine conversations.
