No question black women helped us get to the moon
Katherine Johnson — a mathematician at NASA's Langley Research Center in Virginia who helped make human spaceflight possible — celebrated 100 trips around the sun this weekend.
Johnson, one of NASA's "human computers" whose calculations propelled NASA spacecraft to the stars, turned 100 on Aug. 26. Johnson is a retired NASA Langley mathematician who was integral to developing human spaceflight in America. Johnson, who was played by Taraji P. Henson in the feature film "Hidden Figures," began her career at NASA on a team of black women who were also referred to as "human computers." Like the other women in this group, Johnson broke down barriers as an African-American woman, despite anti-black prejudice.
Johnson analyzed flight test data and even completed trajectory analysis for Freedom 7, America's first human spaceflight. She co-authored the paper Determination of Azimuth Angle at Burnout for Placing a Satellite Over a Selected Earth Position, which detailed the equations that describe an orbital spaceflight where the craft's landing position is specified. This was the first time that a woman received author credit for a research report in the Flight Research Division.
Johnson's most famous work, spotlighted in "Hidden Figures," was for John Glenn's orbital mission in 1962. The mission required a complicated worldwide communications network. The mission's orbital calculations, which controlled the trajectory of the capsule for the mission, were programmed by a computer, but Glenn asked engineers to "get the girl" — referring to Katherine Johnson — to validate the calculations. She ran the same calculations by hand that the computer had run, and Glenn said, according to Johnson, "If she says they're good, then I'm ready to go."

I wouldn't be surprised because I understand statistics. Blacks use more welfare per capita than whites. But a white person who uses snap for nonsense is just as much trash as a black person, I'll agree.
Actually it's rural whites per capita in subgroups. And per capita whites are more likely to actually receive services they are requesting, despite per capita fewer falling below FPL. So the percentage of those eligible isn't balanced with those who actually end up being able to receive.
Also, we are talking about money, so when you are talking about utilizing tax payer dollars, the rate shouldn't matter as much as the quantity.

Dont let this board get you riled up my friend. Its a safe space for southern white males to vent in ways they would only do if their identities were anonymous.
You're "blacksessed," you racist little midget.

Not easy to decide.
How do you "objectively" determine the best WR to draft first in NFL? 40 time? Shuttle time? Broad jump? Vertical leap? Height?
Productivity in college? Coaching ties/Pedigree? Wonderlic score? Interview?
Etc etc etc

I think you're a terrible troll, who ran away for a while BTW, and who would never give his identity here because of the incredible ignorance you used to and likely plan to spout. All the while trying to act like the racist crackers here won't reveal themselves because they are awful racist crackers.
You're a phony, and I'd love to know which alter you've been using while hiding this account. 25% chance you're black, 5% chance you're a doctor or were ever in med school.

You need to cite OMMG whenever you use my coined term: :blacksessed:

Damn, you sound upset. Deep breaths, my friend

I said nothing of the sort. I said this forum is a safe space for southern white males to vent among their fellow southern white male. I mean, thats essentially an objective truth unless everyone is lying about their race and hometown. Not sure why that makes you so upset.

As far as college admissions you start with the common comparison, in this case standardized test

How come you haven't broken out "melanin-challenged" today? That used to be your go-to racist term of choice.

Whats a "success." Very generic, bland term that means nothing.
quote:
Mortality rates
Only pertains to a small subset of physicians.
quote:
Times performed said surgery.
Let me give you the name of 50 and I want you to report back with their surgical times, tourniquet times, etc. Good luck.
quote:
Reviews from peers
Doctors really don't "review" other doctors honestly. Just a fact.
quote:
Reviews from patients.
Of all the examples, this is the only one that even kind of makes sense.

Like the 40 yd dash, right?
Addend:
And I thought we were talking about prospective med students, not doctors in practice.

I've evolved. And I was told melanin-challenged wasn't PC enough.
My new term is melanin-deprived. Enjoy.

You bumped a year-old thread just to post all that?

Haven't yall ever been to wakanda? You bunch of country bumpkins. Wakanda is by far the most educated place. It's common knowledge that 80% of the wakanda population consists of women. It's also common knowledge that most black women in the world are wakandan tourists.
This is all common knowledge. I pity you bumpkins for not knowing history! Gawd!
