♲ @[email protected]: Frances "Poppy" Northcutt was the first female engineer in NASA's mission control.
Poppy Northcutt’s headset crackled as a fellow mission controller again directed his colleagues to turn to a specific camera channel on their consoles.
It was 1968 and the 25-year-old Northcutt often was too busy running Apollo 8 simulations to pay this channel any heed. But on this particular day, she wasn’t quite so busy.
What she saw made her breath catch in her throat. Her male colleagues had trained a Mission Control room camera directly on her. And they had been watching it for months.
Northcutt didn’t tell anyone about the camera — or how it made her feel. As the first and only woman working in Mission Control at NASA’s Johnson Space Center in Houston, she knew the treatment could be a lot worse.

No sale en la peli Apolo 13, pero Poppy Northcutt ayudó a traer a los astronautas de vuelta a la Tierra. Matemática que rompió estereotipos y se convirtió en la 1ª controladora en la misión de control de la NASA. Después se hizo abogada y activista feminista.
Post sobre ella reciclando un antiguo hilo en esa red que ya sabéis.
Una auténtica crack, ídola :heart_fire:

Frances “Poppy” Northcutt, working on on NASA’s Apollo program in 1965. She was hired as a programmer, then after six months was promoted to an engineering role. She was the first woman to work on the technical staff.
She’s now working as an attorney and women’s rights activist. She’s also here on Mastodon:

Latinas make just 57 cents, on average, for every $1 made by white, non-Hispanic men. Over the course of a 40 year career, Latinas stand to lose more than $1 million. For Latinas who are undocumented, non-binary, transgender, Afrolatina, or Indigenous, the pay gap is even worse. #LatinaEqualPayDay #Trabajadoras

Researchers from Houston Methodist Research Institute sent 10
remotely controlled drug delivery implants to ISS on Saturday. Such
devices could improve care to spacefarers & to those in remote
locations on earth. #ISS #SpaceMedicine https:

Do not allow this or anything like it, #Missouri.
And likewise everywhere else in the United States.

Yes. They actually did this! Missouri House Republicans voted to defund libraries after a federal court overturns a ban on 300 library books. #BanGunsNotBooks https://heartlandsignal.com/2023/04/11/missouri-house-republicans-vote-to-defund-libraries/
