The Forgotten Women Who Helped Launch the Space Age

Celebrating the Legacy of Unheralded Heroines

As we look back on the beginnings of the Space Age, it’s time we widen the lens. The story of space isn’t just one of rockets and moon landings—it’s also the story of brilliant women who worked behind the scenes, solving the unsolvable and pushing science forward against all odds. These unsung pioneers—mathematicians, engineers, scientists—didn’t just break barriers; they redefined them. Their legacies remind us that progress is never powered by one kind of voice, and that innovation thrives on inclusion. As we chart the next chapter of space exploration, let’s carry their spirit forward—by building a future where talent is recognized regardless of gender, and where every mission reflects the full spectrum of human potential. The universe is vast, and so is our capacity to include everyone in its pursuit.
