I Cry.

I listened to this record so often in my youth, that I have it memorized still today. 

Snippets of Black Sulu and White Uhura, from the Book and Record Passage to Moauv (1975).  The people behind the comic didn’t have the rights to George Takei and Nichelle Nichols’ likenesses, so this happened.  They didn’t have the rights to The Animated Series either, so M’Ress is human with blue skin.

Redemption story done right.

You know, we will treat you fairly

I love this!

So agree with this.

Beautiful ship!

USS Enterprise, NCC-1701-A, from Star Trek Beyond, by Alexander Klemm.

Can not agree more with this. Andor has been outstanding.

I feel qualified to say this because I too have been in this fight since I was 6 years old.

Andor continues to raise the bar every week. This production design is stunning. The acting is fantastic. No episode has felt like a filler episode. This week the main character did nothing but be in prison and yet it was intriguing. Mon Mothma’s story is gripping. This show deserves awards beyond the usual Star Wars Best Effects, Best Sound, etc. This show is a dramatic contender

Cannot wait for this!

Mathematician. Leader. Heroine. Remembering Hidden Figure Katherine Johnson

Tonight, count the stars and remember a trailblazer. 

We’re saddened by the passing of celebrated #HiddenFigures mathematician Katherine Johnson. She passed away at 101 years old. 

An America hero, Johnson’s legacy of excellence broke down racial and social barriers while helping get our space agency off the ground.

Once a “human computer”, she famously calculated the flight trajectory for Alan Shepard, the first American in space.

And when we began to use electronic computers for calculations, astronaut John Glenn said that he’d trust the computers only after Johnson personally checked the math.

As a girl, Katherine Johnson counted everything. As a mathematician, her calculations proved critical to our early successes in space travel.

With slide rules and pencils, Katherine Johnson’s brilliant mind helped launch our nation into space. No longer a Hidden Figure, her bravery and commitment to excellence leaves an eternal legacy for us all.

“We will always have STEM with us. Some things will drop out of the public eye and will go away, but there will always be science, engineering and technology. And there will always, always be mathematics.” - Katherine Johnson 1918 -2020 

May she rest in peace, and may her powerful legacy inspire generations to come! What does Katherine Johnson’s legacy mean to you? Share in the comments.
