I am sure that he was a talented guy and contributed to a number of cutting edge products of his time, but more likely as a team member and not a lone wolf as the revisionists are now trying to portray. A friend of mine worked for NASA in the Apollo program as an engineer. HIs name appears in a number of patents but since he was not a black guy we probably will not hear some time down the road that he was responsible for puting a man on the moon.
Unlike those three Black ladies who worked for NASA in the early years and are celebrated in the movie "Hidden Figures." Not saying that they shouldn't have been recognized.
