Johnson “was an American hero and her pioneering legacy will never be forgotten,” NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstine wrote on Twitter.
“At NASA we will never forget her courage and leadership and the milestones we could not have reached without her. Ms. Johnson helped our nation enlarge the frontiers of space even as she made huge strides that also opened doors for women and people of color in the universal human quest to explore space,” Bridenstine said in a statement.
Johnson was portrayed by Taraji P. Henson in the Theodore Melfi-directed film, which tracks the untold true story of physicist Johnson, space scientist Dorothy Vaughan, played by Octavia Spencer, and mathematician Mary Jackson, portrayed by Janelle Monáe. The pioneering African American women performed work that was crucial to American success in the space race and most impactfully, in the successful 1969 Apollo moon landing, but their story has largely unknown to the country they served.
