Prejudice Charged To NASA in Hiring Record War
Ruth Bates Harris, NASA's top Black woman official, says she reported NASA’s poor hiring of women and minorities and was fired after proposing reinstatement. She cites 5.4 percent female and minority staff and 872.9 percent of women in the lowest federal grades, urging action and warning of broader impact on future generations. The piece also covers Skylab mission timing, crew Gerald Carr Edward Gibson and William Pogue, and planned 60 to 85 day flight, with Kohoutek observation bonus and Saturn V launch prep.
