Macie "Bobby" Roberts is a former supervisor at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).
[3] Macie "Bobby" Roberts was the original supervisor of the human computers at NASA, later dubbed the rocket women.
She believed that it would be too difficult to work with men, so she created a culture of all women that spanned much longer than her time at JPL.
Roberts's job was not limited to just calculations, she hired and trained the new employees for over thirty years after being promoted.
The women on Robert's team performed trajectory calculations for all space flights before the advent of the desktop computer.
