Melba Roy, NASA Mathmetician, at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland in 1964. Ms. Roy led a group of NASA mathmeticians known as “computers” who tracked the Echo satellites. The first time I shared Ms. Roy on VBG, my friend Chanda Prescod-Weinstein, a former postdoc in astrophysics at NASA, helpfully explained what Ms. Roy did in the comment section. I am sharing Chanda’s comment again here: “By the way, since I am a physicist, I might as well explain a little bit about what she did: when we launch satellites into orbit, there are a lot of things to keep track of. We have to ensure that gravitational pull from other bodies, such as other satellites, the moon, etc. don’t perturb and destabilize the orbit. These are extremely hard calculations to do even today, even with a machine-computer. So, what she did was extremely intense, difficult work. The goal of the work, in addition to ensuring satellites remained in a stable orbit, was to know where everything was at all times. So they had to be able to calculate with a high level of accuracy. Anyway, that’s the story behind orbital element timetables”. Photo: NASA/Corbis
Hey nerds, another installment of Inventory is up today. We shot this one while we were in NYC over the holiday and features the talented fashion designer Rachel Antonoff. Give it a read if you get a moment, if you don’t have a minute, I hate you. http://t.co/y65uWDFd

yes.
Had to stop by @cleanhandsarmy and pick up some supplies. Stoked on these @ironlak gloves. #cleanhands

Back at the ranch.
The people on my flight thought my OCD was impressive.
