Mrs. Johnson‘s scientific contributions to the success of NASA was immeasurable! She lived a long and productive life as a scientist, though seeking attention and applause for it was secondary to the actual love for her role in it and her dedication to NASA. A true hero who lived to be 101.

pickHindsight is a bitch. It is amazing that events like the recent billionaire space race show that we still haven't learned the futility of phallus measuring contests. I didn't love the art in this graphic novel about the first living creature sent to space, but I was impressed at how the author was able to craft an engaging story out of the tragedy of Laika. A sad story told well. TW: animal abuse and toxic masculinity.
panIt was and ok book like I think it would have a fantastic storyline if done right… it was bogged down with heavy scientific information though and read more like a text book that mmmm anything. I almost put it down but I did finish and I wouldn‘t pick it up again. I‘d just go watch the movie instead

pickHidden Figures is the true story of four African-American women involved in the space race. The illustrated edition of this book is a classroom essential in my opinion. This book is a great way to talk about the contributions that African-Americans were making in a time when they were still being segregated and mistreated.
pickWell, it took me about 7 months, but I FINALLY finished this book! Not sure why it took me so long. I found this to be highly readable and very interesting. Learned a lot about the start of the NACA/NASA and the women that contributed so much to make it all successful. Now to watch the movie! 5/5⭐️
