NANCY GRACE ROMAN

Nancy Grace Roman was a pioneer back in the day, like many women throughout history. She was the first female director at NASA and a relevant figure in science, making a name for herself in a field dominated by men.

For Nancy, the stars were always there. It didn’t matter where she was in the world, she could always look up to that starry sky and feel less lonely. At the age of four, she decorated her pictures of the moon with stars. At the age of forty, she was trying to convince the United States Government about the importance of building a space telescope to extend their exploration so much further than they might have imagined. Nancy Grace Roman will always be “the mother of the Hubble Space Telescope.” For her, tenacity had to go hand in hand with her drive to achieve.
