Hi Nasdaq....

If I were to nominate anyone from the space program it would be Korolev - the Russian rocket engineer. Single handedly he fed the American fear of Soviet supremacy in space that drove the American effort.

For Computers I would restrict my nominations to Von Neuman (already on the list) and Turing.

John Crapper (allegedly) invented the modern flushing toilet in the 19th century, so doesn't qualify
