Lego Set Honoring Women Of NASA
Lego revealed the winner of its semiannual Lego Ideas competition this week: a set honoring five women of NASA. The women are computer scientist Margaret Hamilton, mathematician Katherine Johnson, astronaut Sally Ride, astronomer and executive Nancy Grace Roman and astronaut Mae Jemison.
The 5 incredible women are Katherine Johnson, mathematician who charted the trajectories of successful space flights; Sally Ride, the first American woman in space; Margaret Hamilton, who made the software used in the Apollo mission; Mae Jemison, doctor and the first African-American woman in space; and Nancy Roman, the “Mother of the Hubble.”
LEGO still has to conclude the design before the set can be sold. More information will be available later this year.
