"I think the girl who is able to earn her own living and pay her own way should be as happy as anybody on earth. The sense of independence and security is very sweet."

To think, when

to βDiscoverβ itβs
people learned
the NAs had a
varied variety of
languages along
with the rest of
America, Americans
who spoke Spanish.
English came much
later, along with
French and yet today English which
belongs to Britain
is claimed, by US? π€

12.02.2026 01:05 β π 7418 π 953 π¬ 137 π 30Split-image historical photograph honoring Mary Sherman Morgan (1921β2004), the pioneering American rocket fuel scientist and America's first female rocket scientist, who invented the high-energy liquid propellant Hydyne in 1957 at Rocketdyne (North American Aviation). Hydyne (a blend of unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine and diethylenetriamine) provided the critical extra thrust needed for the Jupiter-C (later renamed Juno I) rocket to successfully launch Explorer 1, the United States' first satellite, into orbit on January 31, 1958βhelping the U.S. catch up in the early Space Race. On the left: A black-and-white portrait of a young Mary Sherman Morgan in the 1950s, seated at a desk in an office or lab setting. She wears cat-eye glasses, a light-colored blouse, a necklace, and a ring, smiling warmly and looking just right of the camera. She sits in front of an open book and is holding a pencil, with office equipment in the background. On the right: A dramatic color night-launch photograph of the Jupiter-C rocket (with "UE" markings visible on the body) blasting off from Cape Canaveral, Florida, in 1958. The rocket stands tall against a dark sky, illuminated by intense flames and bright exhaust plumes at liftoff, with billowing orange-white fire and smoke at the base as it ascends, symbolizing the successful orbital insertion powered by Morgan's innovative Hydyne fuel. This pairing highlights her behind-the-scenes contributions to one of the defining moments in space history (often overlooked). #MaryShermanMorgan #Hydyne #Explorer1 #WomenInSTEM #SpaceRace #NASA #WomenInScienceDay #IDWGS
Celebrating Mary Sherman Morgan--America's first female rocket scientist--on #NationalInventorsDay!
She invented the liquid fuel Hydyne in 1957. Its most famous use came on 31 Jan 1958, when a Juno I rocket powered by Hydyne launched Explorer 1, Americaβs first successful satellite.

Color photograph of Audre Lorde looking directly at the camera. Overlaid text reads: βWhen we speak, we are afraid our words will not be heard or welcomed. But when we are silent, we are still afraid. So it is better to speak.β Her name, Audre Lorde, appears beneath the quote.
Audre Lorde understood what courage requires. She knew silence was never safety and that it was better to speak.
An American writer, poet, professor, and civil rights activist who named injustice across race, gender, sexuality, and power.
