The bold story of Katherine Johnson, the extraordinary mathematician, who calculated the flight path for NASA’s first Apollo moon landing.

Katherine Johnson is the mathematical genius who helped put astronauts on the moon and made sure that Apollo 13 returned safely home. As a child she loved to count. Boundless, curious, excited by calculations, young Katherine longed to know as much as she could about maths, about the universe.

From Katherine’s early beginnings as a gifted student to her heroic accomplishments as a prominent mathematician at NASA, this is the story of a ground-breaking American women, who not only calculated the course of the moon landings, but in turn, saved lives and made enormous contributions to history.
