Weren't they always NASA?
shareThe OP is describing a scene that was not in the book or the film. The three female leads of the film were actually employed by NACA, before NASA was created in 1958. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Area_Computers
The East Area computors (white women) were disbanded by 1947 and sent to work with the engineers. All of their work was then performed by the West Area computors (black women). By 1958 the West Area computors were all eventually absorbed into various engineering groups or found other jobs.
