YESTERDAY'S SOLUTION ??

The hint was this article ?from Space.com ??

"In the 1960s, astronauts?and others absorbed the accolades of being America's first men in space. They reached orbit with the nation's first crewed space program,?Project Mercury. Behind the scenes, their triumphs were enabled by hundreds of unheralded?NASA workers, including "human computers" who calculated their orbital trajectories. a 2016 book by Margot Lee Shetterly and a movie based on the book, celebrates the contributions of some of those workers."

HISTORY OF HUMAN COMPUTERS AT NASA

Beginning in 1935, the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA), a precursor of NASA, hired hundreds of women as computers. The job title described someone who performed mathematical equations and calculations by hand, according to a?NASA history. The computers worked at the Langley Memorial Aeronautical Laboratory in Virginia. Katherine Johnson (pictured), Mary Jackson, and Dorothy Vaughan were instrumental in the success of the program and for equal opportunity efforts in the 1950s.

Human computers were not a new concept. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries,?computers at Harvard University?analyzed star photos to learn more about their basic properties. Those computers were women who made discoveries still fundamental to astronomy today. For example, Williamina Fleming is best known for classifying?stars?based on their temperature, and Annie Jump Cannon developed a stellar classification system still used today (from hottest to coolest stars: O, B, A, F, G, K, M.)

Have a wonderful day!
