With hopes to inspire every woman in the community.
I've always been incredibly awestruck by NASA and the space program. When back in 1969, during the historic launch of Apollo 11, which put the first men on the moon, rows of men in shirts and ties lined the consoles inside Kennedy Space Center. But one woman stood out, 28-year-old JoAnn Morgan. Morgan, who worked as an instrumentation controller for the mission, was the only woman allowed inside the firing room where NASA employees were locked during Apollo 11's historic liftoff on July 16, 1969. She endured obscene phone calls and had to use men's bathrooms as one of NASA's first female engineers. She inspired a generation of women, her path was not an easy one.
