Yes!
She's not only one of the first women to work at NASA, she's one of the first people.
She literally created a new math to get from elliptical orbits to parabolic descents. Without her there is no American flag on the Moon.
And she worked with hundreds of other Black women (as well as white women) as NASA's "computers" before IBM brought in NASA's first electric computer.
And THAT IBM computer's entire staff was SUPERVISED by another Black women, Dorothy Vaughan.
