Black History Month spotlight: Lonnie Johnson A Black Air Force and NASA engineer who helped work on space missions, then turned a side experiment into the Super Soaker and later Nerf’s N-Strike line. He licensed his water gun in the late 80s, and by the 90s it was one of the best-selling toys on the planet, doing hundreds of millions in sales. The toy giant he partnered with underpaid his royalties for years, so he took them to arbitration and won about 73 million dollars in unpaid money! Lonni

Iness Fromzero on Instagram: "✅ 1. Lonnie Johnson designed nuclear engines for NASA and systems for stealth bombers, but at night he conducted strange experiments in his bathroom. 2. One day, he accidentally shot a pressurized stream of water through a homemade nozzle and realized he hadn’t made a pump, but a powerful “weapon.” 3. Fellow scientists considered it foolish, believing a serious physicist shouldn’t waste his genius on plastic trinkets for children. 4. Lonnie received rejections from
