  • Sally Ride (the first American woman in space) Margaret Hamilton (a computer scientist who helped develop flight software for the Apollo space missions), Katherine Johnson (a mathematician and NASA researcher featured in the film Hidden Figures), Nancy Grace Roman (known as the ‘Mother of Hubble) and Mae Jemison (the first African American woman in space) will be included, as well as a frame to display their minifigures.
