24、n 1953,Johnson started to work for NASA,doing the math that powered engineers work.Then,because of her outstanding talent,she was moved to work on rockets with an all-male flight research team.As for Johnson,her calculations contributed to many of NASAs most important projects.In 1961,with the help
25、of Johnsons work,Alan Shepherd became the first American to go into space.Johnson also lent her unbelievable talent to the success of the Apollo 13,which had trouble getting back to earth.She worked hard to calculate a safe path back to Earth for the astronauts. Johnson retired in 1986,but her huge
26、contribution to the space program has only been reaching the public attention for the past few years.Part of that is because,as she is the first to admit,science is based on collaboration.“I never took any credit because we always worked as a team,it was never just one person,” she said in a 2010 in

36、around the world,especially those who are at war or those in very poor countries would give anything to be in your conditions.
