Fem stycken NASA-kvinnor blir legofigurer
Lego-byggaren 20tauri, vars riktiga namn är Maia Weinstock, har fått sin idé om att göra Women of NASA till ett nytt lego-set godkänt av LEGO. Setet kommer att inkluderar fem stycken kvinnor som arbetat för NASA samt miljöerna de arbetade i. De fem kvinnorna som nu kommer att bli förevigade som LEGO-figurer är: Margaret Hamilton, computer scientist: While working at MIT under contract with NASA in the 1960s, Hamilton developed the on-board flight software for the Apollo missions to the moon. She is known for popularizing the modern concept of software.
Katherine Johnson, mathematician and space scientist: A longtime NASA researcher, Johnson is best known for calculating and verifying trajectories for the Mercury and Apollo programs — including the Apollo 11 mission that first landed humans on the moon.
Sally Ride, astronaut, physicist, and educator: A physicist by training, Ride became the first American woman in space in 1983. After retiring as a NASA astronaut, she founded an educational company focusing on encouraging children — especially girls — to pursue the sciences.
Nancy Grace Roman, astronomer: One of the first female executives at NASA, Roman is known to many as the "Mother of Hubble" for her role in planning the Hubble Space Telescope. She also developed NASA's astronomy research program.
