What made matter worse for her at that time was when she was pulled aside by her boss Al to talk about why his numbers aren’t there in front of him. He blocked them out because they were ‘classified information’. The person who would give her work, Paul Stafford, would block out almost all the information she needed to check the numbers. There, there was so much colored segregation from the coffee, she drank from to the bathroom she went to. Where she was now working was where all the higher noncolored people worked. Her desk was put into a whole other building. There were many big changes in the atmosphere of where she worked. The offer was brought to Johnson who obviously took it, there was no way she would’ve worked so hard since a child and not take the offer.

Automatically she had given the idea of her smartest friend, Katherine. Mary had overheard supervisors talking about needing someone to check numbers and be correct. Mary was offered to help with making and changing a shuttle that would be used. Katherine was not known or provided a place for her amazing skills to be shown until Mary got an offer. Dorothy wasn’t the manager though she was chosen to supervise while a new manager was searched for. Dorothy was the one who told the girls what to do when it needed to be done, and how. Significant to her offer, she wasn’t the one in charge of their sector. Her points were precise and more accurate than anyone could probably make them. At NASA she helped researchers calculate ways to get to the moon, orbit, and land safely. Where she worked is where she built her reputation and fame in. Although it may not be what they had wished for, they were still proud and happy. The three friends were able to work together in their dream workplace. She had met her two friends, Mary Jackson, and Dorothy Vaughn. She took the offer of her life to working at NASA. She was there to help the women’s colored section. Soon she was offered to work as an assistant at NASA. After her school career, she started work as a teacher. With all her brains she was accepted into the University of Michigan where she graduated in 1939. Her parents had her put into private schools and higher-level courses.

Katherine Johnson was born in 1918, in White Sulphur Springs. So, her job served to bring astronauts to the moon. Her job in estimating the ways for spaceships to go was momental1 in helping NASA successfully move the English world into space.
