Before the organization was NASA, it was NACA. There was great pressure on NACA to design and test satellites that would be capable of making it to space. This was no easy feat, as any such craft would need to first break through the sound barrier, escape Earth\u2019s gravitational pull, and settle into a speed (18,000 MPH) that would enable it to lock into a low orbit around the planet, all while withstanding levels of heat that could reach up to 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NACA\u2019s destiny as the powerhouse of America\u2019s Space Race was hardly assured at this time. There were competing agencies within the federal government that might have conceivably taken the mantle of space leadership from NACA and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/langley-memorial-aeronautical-laboratory\/\">Langley<\/a>, including the US Air Force, the US Naval Research Observatory, and the Army Ballistic Missile Agency. But NACA, with its wealth of engineering talent, was selected as the home for all of America\u2019s space research and operations\u2014and Langley would be its nerve center. In October 1958, all competing operations were placed under NACA\u2019s purview. <strong>With the expanded mission came a new name for the agency: the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, or NASA.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With incredible talent, NASA was on its way to becoming a desegregated organization, which would provide a more efficient workforce. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Miriam Mann&#8217;s Protest<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>One key example of how the culture at NACA (NASA) changed was Miriam Mann&#8217;s protest. Langley was a place where colleagues worked closely with one another (often <em>literally <\/em>close, thanks to the wartime hiring spree) and clerks and computers might rub shoulders with top aeronautics researchers. Yet, <strong>because of the color of their skin, the West Area Computers were largely excluded from this collegial atmosphere<\/strong>. Although Executive Order 8802 had mandated fair employment in the defense industry, Langley\u2019s location in the Commonwealth of Virginia forced it to comply with that state\u2019s segregation statutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This was symbolized most hurtfully by the <strong>sign on the table where they sat at the back of the cafeteria that read, \u201cCOLORED COMPUTERS.\u201d<\/strong> Although they were ostensibly professionals on par with their colleagues at Langley, they were still treated as something less than equal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Sign Comes Down<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Seeing this sign every day was deeply insulting and offensive for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/nasa-human-computers-hidden-figures\/\">West Computers<\/a>. One day, a West Computer named <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/miriam-mann-hidden-figures\/\">Miriam Mann<\/a> could take it no more. She walked over to the sign, removed it, and stuffed it into her purse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This prompted a mini struggle for equal treatment within Langley at NACA (NASA). The sign was back up a few days later, prompting Miriam to take it down once again. This back-and-forth played out over the course of weeks, but Miriam and her fellow computers were determined to take a stand against this small, but potent symbol of oppression. Her husband warned her that she might lose her job over this act of defiance, but Miriam knew that this was a battle that <em>needed <\/em>to be fought.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eventually, she won. One day, the sign went into Miriam\u2019s purse and no one ever bothered to replace it. <strong>This was a powerful victory, one that helped to convince her fellow women of West Computing that the laboratory was <em>theirs <\/em>as well<\/strong>. Dorothy, Miriam, and the other black computers had become more than colleagues\u2014they had become a tight-knit band, an army in its own right that was prepared to fight and win the war for equality at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NACA (NASA) underwent many changes throughout the course of its history, including its well-known name change. It took years of hard work and objections to change NACA, and later NASA culture, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/women-of-hidden-figures\/\">women of Hidden Figures<\/a>, including Miriam Mann, had no small part in paving the way for others. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When did NACA become NASA, and why?
