9 00:00:59 West Virginia Collegiate Institute is thebest school for Negros in the state.
10 00:01:04 It’s the only school, past the eighthgrade, anywhere close to here.
11 00:01:08 Isosceles.. Scalene,
12 00:01:12 Equilateral,
13 00:01:14 Rhombus...
14 00:01:15 Trapezoid,
15 00:01:17 Katherine’s in the sixth grade.
16 00:01:19 They want to take her early.
17 00:01:21 Tetrahedron,
18 00:01:23 Dodecahedron.
19 00:01:25 They’re offering a full scholarship.
20 00:01:27 All you have to do is get there.
21 00:01:30 Ms. Coleman.
22 00:01:32 Why don’t you solve the equationon the board?
23 00:01:42 We took up the collection amongst theteachers and such,
24 00:01:45 It's not a lot.
25 00:01:47 But it’s enough to help you tosettle in the end.
26 00:01:50 That’s more than kind, Ms. Sumner.
27 00:02:04 If the product of two terms is zero,
28 00:02:07 then common sense says at leastone of the two terms
29 00:02:09 has to be zero to start with!
30 00:02:11 So, if you move all the terms overto one side,
31 00:02:14 you can put the quadratics into a formthat can be factored,
32 00:02:18 Allowing that side of the equationto equal zero.
33 00:02:21 Once you’ve done that,it’s pretty straight forward from there...
34 00:02:27 In all my years of teaching,
35 00:02:29 I’ve never seen a mind likethe one your daughter has.
36 00:02:33 - Katherien!- Hurry on, now. Love!
37 00:02:37 You have to go.
38 00:02:39 Let Mommy take you in.
39 00:02:47 You have to see what she becomes.

41 00:03:06 Hampton, Virginia 1961
42 00:03:16 OK! Try and turn it over, now!
43 00:03:19 Katherine?!
44 00:03:20 Mary!
45 00:03:22 Somebody!
46 00:03:23 Katherine!? Quit staring off into space!And turn the damn car over!
47 00:03:27 I got it.
48 00:03:30 I’m not deaf!
49 00:03:31 I wonder some times.
50 00:03:34 Here it goes.
51 00:03:37 - Yeah!- It's the starter.
52 00:03:40 It’s definitely the starter.
53 00:03:43 That starter’s startin’ to make us late.
54 00:03:45 We’re going to be unemployed driving aroundin this balloon of junk to work everyday.
55 00:03:49 You’re welcome to walk the 16 miles.
56 00:03:51 Or sit on the back of the bus.
57 00:03:54 I won’t do neither.
58 00:03:56 I’ll hitchhike.
59 00:04:02 Girls!
60 00:04:09 No crime in a broken down car.
61 00:04:11 No crime being Negro either.
62 00:04:13 Button it up, Mary! Nobody wants togo to jail behind your mouth.
63 00:04:17 I’ll do my best, sugar.
64 00:04:32 Not a great place for the three ofya’ll to be havin’ car trouble.
65 00:04:35 We didn’t pick the place, Officer.It picked us.
66 00:04:37 You bein’ disrespectful?
67 00:04:39 No, sir.
68 00:04:41 - You have identification on ya?- Yes, sir.
69 00:04:43 Yes, sir.
70 00:04:46 We’re just on our way to work.
71 00:04:48 At Langley.
72 00:04:50 NASA, sir.
73 00:04:51 We do a great deal of the calculating
74 00:04:53 Getting our rockets into space.
75 00:04:55 - All three?- Yes, sir.
76 00:04:57 Yes, officer.
77 00:04:59 NASA!That’s somethin'!
78 00:05:03 Had no idea they hired...
79 00:05:05 There're quite a few women,
80 00:05:07 Working in the Space Program.
81 00:05:18 Damn Russians are watching us right now.
82 00:05:20 Sputniks.
83 00:05:23 You girls ever meet those Astronauts?
84 00:05:25 The Mercury 7?
85 00:05:27 Absolutely!
86 00:05:29 Yes, sir.We work with those gentlemen all the time.
87 00:05:32 Those boys are the best we got.
88 00:05:34 - I'm sure of that!- Yeah!
89 00:05:36 We gotta get a man up therebefore the Commies do.
90 00:05:38 - Yes!- Absolutely.
91 00:05:39 Whole damn country’s counting on ‘em.
92 00:05:41 That’s for certain
93 00:05:42 Hard to be of service broken down onthe side of the road, though.
94 00:05:46 Right! Right!
95 00:05:47 Well, you need a tow or somethin’?
96 00:05:49 No, thank you, Officer.I think I got it, Just give me that..
97 00:05:52 Just need a ...
98 00:05:54 To bypass the starter...
99 00:05:58 She is good in this stuff!
100 00:06:02 That’a girl!
101 00:06:04 We’re all set.
102 00:06:05 Hell. Least I can do is give yaan escort.
103 00:06:07 Imagine ya’ll arerunning late to work.
104 00:06:09 Oh, no sir! We wouldn’twant to bother you.
105 00:06:11 That would be wonderful, Officer.
106 00:06:13 Thank you so much, sir.
107 00:06:15 - Follow me!- I'm driving!
108 00:06:17 Hurry up, Dorothy!Before he changes his mind!
109 00:06:19 - We're coming!- Hold your horses!
110 00:06:28 Yes!
111 00:06:29 - Mary! Slow down! You’re so close!- Well, be quiet. He said to follow him!
112 00:06:32 He didn’t mean you hit him behind!
113 00:06:36 Dear Lord..I don’t even know where to begin!
114 00:06:38 Oh! I’ll tell you where to begin!
115 00:06:40 three negro women are chasinga white police office
116 00:06:42 down the highway in Hampton, Virginia
117 00:06:45 1961.
118 00:06:47 Ladies, that there isa God ordained miracle!
119 00:06:51 - Handsome officer!- I'm frightened, pus!
120 00:07:19 Show me!
121 00:07:22 No, exactly!
122 00:07:31 Ascend angle: 46.56.
123 00:07:38 118 seconds.
124 00:07:49 Second stage. Success.
125 00:07:53 Korabl-Sputnik-4 is orbital.
126 00:07:57 Orbital entry is established.
127 00:07:59 Russian orbital entry is established.
128 00:08:03 Jim Webb.
129 00:08:06 Yes, Mr. President !
130 00:08:08 We certainly are, sir.
131 00:08:11 It looks like they've achieved at leastone orbit.. Maybe two!
132 00:08:16 Zvezdochka is ready to go again.So is our comrade, Ivan.
133 00:08:21 A brave space traveler.
134 00:08:23 We have proven life can be sustainedin space.
135 00:08:26 Now, we will be first to send a human
136 00:08:28 A damn dog!
137 00:08:30 And a damn mannequin!
138 00:08:35 And then a 1.6 megatonRDS-37 thermonuclear warhead
139 00:08:39 drops down in themiddle of Des Moines.
140 00:08:42 Well, that’s a pretty big jump, sir.
141 00:08:43 What?
142 00:08:44 - Just there's that..- Who the hell is he?
143 00:08:47 Paul Stafford.Our Lead Engineer, Mr. Webb.
144 00:08:49 I think what he meant to sayis that speculation, at least
145 00:08:52 on our side of the equationby definition, can be..
146 00:08:55 Just a little dangerous.
147 00:08:57 Dangerous?
148 00:08:58 You know what's dangerous,Mr. Stafford?
149 00:09:01 Inaction, and indecision.
150 00:09:03 Russians have a spysatellite lapping the planet,
151 00:09:06 taking picturesof God knows what!
152 00:09:10 The President is demandingan immediate response.
153 00:09:13 No more delays.Alan Shepard, John Glenn, your uncle Bob.
154 00:09:15 Doesn’t matter,just get us up there, Harrison
155 00:09:17 We can’t justify a space program
156 00:09:19 that doesn't put anything in space.
157 00:09:23 How did that feel in there, Paul?
158 00:09:25 Do you think you enlightenedthe Administrator?
159 00:09:30 No! He didn’t look enlightened to me.
160 00:09:32 - He look enlightened to you, Sam?- Not particularly.
161 00:09:35 And just so you know, he’s notwrong about what he said in there.
162 00:09:38 You know that, right?
163 00:09:40 Because now that they can get up there,a bomb will follow.
164 00:09:43 That’s what happens to all our good ideas.
165 00:09:46 Imaginary still.. Wait!
166 00:09:48 Where’s the machine?
167 00:09:49 Any day now, Mr. Harrison.
168 00:09:51 - Any day now.- Yes, sir.
169 00:09:53 What’s it called?
170 00:09:55 - The initials...- There. IBM.
171 00:09:57 International business machine.
172 00:09:58 Space is a business!
173 00:10:01 I need a mathematician.
174 00:10:03 - I’ll put in another request, sir.- Another request.
175 00:10:06 Jesus Christ! We don’t havea single person, in this entire building,
176 00:10:08 that can handle Analytic Geometry?
177 00:10:10 That’s what I’ve been told.
178 00:10:12 Well, tell me something else, Ruth.Like we’re going to find such a person
179 00:10:15 before the Russians plant a flagon the damn moon.
180 00:10:33 Ladies! ladies!
181 00:10:35 If you're retarded, you don't getMrs. Simone,
182 00:10:37 And if you don't get Mrs. Simone,you don't have a job.
183 00:10:40 Eleanor. Data Reduction, Building 202.
184 00:10:43 Date Reduction?!
185 00:10:44 Well. You’re welcome to join thecharmers in Magneto-plasmadynamics.
186 00:10:47 Oh! No, ma’am.
187 00:10:49 Thank you, Data Reduction’s just fine.
188 00:10:54 - Mary.- Present.
189 00:10:55 The Mercury 7 prototypehas arrived for testing.
190 00:10:58 Mr. Zielinski’s requesting you.
191 00:11:01 For permanent assignment.
192 00:11:02 - Are you serious?- Get moving.
193 00:11:07 Oh! Thank you, Jesus!
194 00:11:09 - Thank you, Jesus! Oh! Thank you.- Mary!
195 00:11:12 Keep it inside, hon.
196 00:11:14 I'm sorry, Dor
197 00:11:18 All right, Mrs. late!
198 00:11:19 You'll also be splendid in script.
199 00:11:23 Mrs. Mitchell.
200 00:11:24 We’re on double time this mornin’, girls.
201 00:11:26 I need these calculations before lunch.
202 00:11:29 The Space Task Group needs a computer,ASAP.
203 00:11:33 Someone with a handle onAnalytic Geometry.
204 00:11:36 We can’t fill the position outtathe East Group.
205 00:11:38 Permanent or temp?
206 00:11:39 Everything’s temporary, Dorothy.
207 00:11:42 - You have someone?- Oh! Yes, ma’am.
208 00:11:44 Katherine’s the gal for that.
209 00:11:47 She can handle any numbers you putin front of her.
210 00:11:49 I’ll check her credentials.
211 00:11:52 Didn’t think of comin’ all the waydown here.
212 00:11:55 Here.Please spread these out.
213 00:12:03 Mrs. Mitchell!
214 00:12:05 If I could.
215 00:12:07 My application for supervisor, ma’am.
216 00:12:10 Was just wondering if they’re stillconsidering me for that position.
217 00:12:13 Yes.
218 00:12:14 Well, the official word is: no.
219 00:12:17 They’re not assignin’ a permanentsupervisor for the Colored Group.
220 00:12:20 May I ask why?
221 00:12:22 I don’t know “why.”
222 00:12:23 I didn’t ask “why.”
223 00:12:25 We need a Supervisor, ma’am.
224 00:12:27 We haven’t had one since Ms. Jansen got sickIt's been almost a year.
225 00:12:30 Things are workin’ just fine as is.
226 00:12:32 I do the work of a Supervisor.
227 00:12:35 Well.That’s NASA, for ya.
228 00:12:38 Fast with rocket ships.Slow with advancement.
229 00:12:42 Get those trajectories calcs worked out.
230 00:12:43 We need ‘em for the Redstone test.
231 00:13:19 Mach 1 tunnel test, T-minus one minute.
232 00:13:34 No shoe is worth your life
233 00:13:36 One.. One moment!
234 00:14:12 Shut it down.
235 00:14:19 If we alter the exterior from smooth
236 00:14:22 to corrugated, the capsule wouldhave more stability,
237 00:14:27 But the friction,it’s under during reentry..
238 00:14:30 most shield erosion occurs
239 00:14:33 on the posterior side abuttingthe retro-boosters.
240 00:14:37 Conclusion?
241 00:14:41 The area closest to the boostersis closest to the heat.
242 00:14:45 Coupled with rising temperatureson reentry,
243 00:14:48 the contacts soften.
244 00:14:50 We could consider another fastenerother than bolts.
245 00:14:56 Yes!
246 00:14:58 Yes.
247 00:15:05 There’s another opening inthe Engineer Training Program.
248 00:15:09 Flat head rivets would reduce wind drag.
249 00:15:12 Mary! a person with an engineer’smind should be an engineer.
250 00:15:16 You can’t be a Computerthe rest of your life.
251 00:15:18 Mr. Zielinski.
252 00:15:20 I’m a Negro woman.
253 00:15:22 I’m not gonna to entertain the impossible!
254 00:15:24 Then I’m a polish Jew whose parentsdied in a Nazi prison camp.
255 00:15:28 Now I’m standing beneath a space ship,
256 00:15:30 that’s going to carry an astronautto the stars.
257 00:15:34 I think we can say,we are living the impossible.
258 00:15:38 Let me ask you..
259 00:15:39 If you were a white male,
260 00:15:42 Would you wish to be an engineer?
261 00:15:44 I wouldn’t have to.I’d already be one.
262 00:15:48 Skirts must be worn past the knee.
263 00:15:50 Sweaters are preferred to blouses.
264 00:15:52 No jewelry.
265 00:15:53 A simple pearl necklace is the exception.
266 00:15:56 Your supervisor is Mr. Al Harrison.
267 00:15:59 Director of the Space Task Group.
268 00:16:01 write research,proof calculations, so forth.
269 00:16:04 Don’t talk to Mr. Harrison lesthe talks to you.
270 00:16:08 Not many Computers lastmore than a few days,
271 00:16:11 He’s been through a dozenin as many months.
272 00:16:14 Come on! Keep up!
273 00:16:15 I think it's a little faster to run here!
274 00:16:18 Your clearance.
275 00:16:21 They’ve never had a colored in here before,Katherine.
276 00:16:24 Don’t embarrass me.
277 00:16:51 This wasn’t emptied last night.
278 00:16:53 I’m sorry. I’m not the..
279 00:16:55 Curses on me!
280 00:17:12 Excuse me, ma’am.Mr. Harrison’s Computer reporting.
281 00:17:15 Take the desk in the back.I’ll get you work in a..
282 00:17:17 Bit.
283 00:17:21 Mr. Harrison won’t warm up to you,don’t expect it.
284 00:17:25 Do your work, keep your head down.
285 00:17:27 Thank you.
286 00:17:29 Go on. Get settled.
287 00:17:41 Well..
288 00:17:43 Why are we still losing shingles offthe heat shield?
289 00:17:46 Well, We’re working with aprototype of the capsule, Al.
290 00:17:49 There is one third the size..- And I get that. So..
291 00:17:52 Well, do we need to turnour million dollar fan down, Karl?
292 00:17:56 - Turn it down?- No, I don't think...
293 00:17:57 Hey! That was a joke.
294 00:18:01 Paul. If the heat shield comes off,
295 00:18:03 What'do gonna happens to our astronaut?
296 00:18:04 I know.
297 00:18:05 So we’re gonna..
298 00:18:07 Then come up with a solve, right?
299 00:18:09 Yes, sir. We’re working on it.
300 00:18:11 Ruth. What’s the status on my Computer?
301 00:18:12 She’s right behind you, Mr. Harrison.
302 00:18:20 Does she handle how's Analytic Geometry?
303 00:18:22 Absolutely. And she speaks.
304 00:18:25 Yes, sir. I do.
305 00:18:28 - Which one?- Both.
306 00:18:29 Geometry and speaking.
307 00:18:33 Ruth. Give me that.
308 00:18:38 Do you think you..
309 00:18:40 You think you can find me the Frenet framefor this data,
310 00:18:43 Using the GramSchmidt...
311 00:18:44 With Orthogonalization algorithm.Yes, sir.
312 00:18:47 I prefer it over Euclidean coordinates.
313 00:18:52 OK. Good.
314 00:18:55 Good. Then, I’m going to need itby the end of the day.
315 00:18:57 Yes.
316 00:18:58 I’m also going to ask you to checkMr. Stafford’s math
317 00:19:01 as well as others on thisfloor from time to time.
318 00:19:03 I can.. I can handle'm all, Al.
319 00:19:04 I’m sure you can, Paul.I’m sure all of you can.
320 00:19:06 But if that were the case,
321 00:19:08 Shingles wouldn’t be flying off theheat shield, now would they.
322 00:19:13 Excuse me. Can I haveeveryone's attention for a moment?
323 00:19:17 Thank you. Just a..
324 00:19:20 Just to be clear..
325 00:19:21 In 14 days the Mercury 7will be here for training.
326 00:19:25 And I have no doubt in my mindthat they’re going to be
327 00:19:28 Asking us questions about our work.
328 00:19:30 I think that's a pretty reasonwe're giving. We're putting a human..
329 00:19:33 on top of a missile andshooting him into space?
330 00:19:35 And it’s never been done before.
331 00:19:38 And because it’s never been done.Everything we do
332 00:19:40 between now andthen is going to matter.
333 00:19:44 It’s going to matter to their wives.
334 00:19:47 To their children.
335 00:19:49 I believe it’s going to matter tothe whole damn country.
336 00:19:52 So this Space Task Group will beas advertised.
337 00:19:56 America's greatest engineeringand scientific minds
338 00:20:00 will not gonna have a problem
339 00:20:01 with having their work checked.Will they, Paul?
340 00:20:04 No, sir.
341 00:20:05 Good. So let’s have an amen, damnit
342 00:20:07 Amen.
343 00:20:09 Amen.
344 00:20:11 All right!
345 00:20:41 My numbers are spot on.
346 00:20:44 I’ll double check them, sir.No problem.
347 00:20:56 - I’m not gonna be able to..- Work on what you can read.
348 00:20:59 The rest is classified.You don’t have clearance.
349 00:21:22 Excuse me...
350 00:21:23 May I ask you where the ladies’ room is?
351 00:21:24 Sorry, I have no idea whereyour bathroom is?
352 00:21:28 Yes, sir.
353 00:21:30 Ah! Yes.
354 00:22:56 - Ruth!- Yes, Mr. Harrison.
355 00:22:58 Where’s that girl go with the numbers?
356 00:23:01 On a... break.
357 00:23:04 We take breaks now.
358 00:23:33 My God, where have you been?Are you finished yet?
359 00:23:36 Almost.He said about the end of the day?
360 00:23:38 The end of the day aroundhere was yesterday.
361 00:23:42 I need those done first.
362 00:23:43 He wants those done first.
363 00:23:44 - OK !- Get going.
364 00:24:55 Mr. Harrison.
365 00:24:58 Oh! Yeah, just settle up,you know.
366 00:25:03 And Stafford’s heat shield calcs?
367 00:25:07 It’s hard to be sure, sir.
368 00:25:10 Hard to be sure.
369 00:25:12 You know what we’re doing here?
370 00:25:15 Trying to put a man in space, sir.
371 00:25:17 That’s right.
372 00:25:19 That’s right. So you canthrow that in the trash.
373 00:25:21 Excuse me?
374 00:25:23 I said you can throw it away!
375 00:25:26 Here.
376 00:25:28 It's not an insult to your work.It's just..
377 00:25:30 .. Obsolete.That's how fast things are moving around here.
378 00:25:33 If I said I was sorry,I'd be saying it all day.
379 00:25:37 What I’m asking you to do.. what I’masking everyone one in that room,
380 00:25:40 all my... geniuses,is to look beyond the numbers.
381 00:25:45 To look around them.
382 00:25:47 Through them.
383 00:25:49 For answers to questions we don’t evenknow to ask.
384 00:25:51 Math that doesn’t yet exist.
385 00:25:54 Because without it,we’re not going anywhere.
386 00:25:56 I mean, we’re staying on the ground.We’re not...
387 00:25:59 flying into space. We’re not..
388 00:26:01 circling the earth. And we’re certainlynot touching the moon. And in my mind..
389 00:26:06 In my mind, I’m already there.
390 00:26:10 Are you?
391 00:26:13 Yes, sir.
392 00:26:15 Good.
393 00:26:16 Because I don’t need another smart girlwith a adding machine.
394 00:26:22 Can I go, sir?
395 00:26:26 Go? Yeah. Go, yeah.Go home.
396 00:26:30 Yes, you can go.
397 00:26:56 ..I'm saying this is so much.I'm not saying that.. I..
398 00:27:03 We’ve been waiting for hours.
399 00:27:04 Next time you take the bus.
400 00:27:06 She’s in a mood.
401 00:27:26 I haven’t been late one day in ten years.Haven’t been out sick.
402 00:27:30 Haven’t complained. My work’s on time.It’s done right. It’s done well.
403 00:27:34 It’s not fair, that’s a fact.
404 00:27:35 What’s not fair is havingthe responsibility of the Supervisor,
405 00:27:38 but not the title or the pay.
406 00:27:41 Watching you two moved on.
407 00:27:43 Now don’t get me wrong.
408 00:27:45 Any upward movement is movement for us all
409 00:27:49 It just isn’t movement for me.
410 00:27:50 Truth be told, Dorothy, I don’t really knowif I can keep up in that room.
411 00:27:55 I’ll be back with the Computers in a week,
412 00:27:58 or out of a job entirely.
413 00:27:59 Oh, please! You’re better with the numbersthan anyone in the cabin and you know it.
414 00:28:04 Make that pencil move as fast asyour mind does, you’ll be fine.
415 00:28:07 And you. Have some respect! Getyour damn feet off my dash board.
416 00:28:11 This isn’t your jump living room.
417 00:28:17 I sound like a supervisor, don’t I?
418 00:28:19 A mean, ole salty one.
419 00:28:20 Riddled with authority.No question.
420 00:28:24 You don’t mess with, Mrs. Vaughan.
421 00:28:27 Turn that music up!
422 00:28:45 - Goodnight, Katherine!- Bye, Kath!
423 00:28:47 Goodnight, ladies!See you in the morning.
424 00:28:58 - Here, baby!- Hello, mamma.
425 00:29:01 I was fixing to call the National Guard.
426 00:29:05 Sorry, Momma.
427 00:29:07 New assignment.
428 00:29:09 Space Task Group.
429 00:29:10 Oh! No, girl! This how's important?
430 00:29:13 It’s a promotion?
431 00:29:16 Maybe a slight promotion.
432 00:29:18 But you want the job, right?
433 00:29:22 I think so.
434 00:29:23 It’s a challenge. But..
435 00:29:25 Well, it's nothing you can’t do handle,Katherine.
436 00:29:29 Thank you, mamma.
437 00:29:33 - Are they asleep yet?- No. Pretending to be.
438 00:29:38 They're not pretending well, enough!
439 00:29:40 Thank you, mamma.Loving.
440 00:29:43 This is my bed!
441 00:29:48 What are you doing!?
442 00:29:49 It’s not fair how Joylette gets tosleep by herself ‘cause she’s the oldest.
443 00:29:54 Yes. it is fair!
444 00:29:57 Constance, Kathy, sit.
445 00:30:04 Now, I understand you want to be grown.And have your own space
446 00:30:10 So who wants to sleeps in that bed,
447 00:30:11 in Joylette’s place,
448 00:30:13 will also do the dishes,
449 00:30:15 take out the trash,and do all of Joylette’s choirs.
450 00:30:20 That’s okay. Never mind.
451 00:30:22 She’s not so terrible to share with.
452 00:30:26 OK.
453 00:30:28 Now don’t let me come home, find youlike this again. You hear me!
454 00:30:31 It's supposed to been asleep.A long time ago.
455 00:30:33 We just wanna to say “goodnight.”
456 00:30:35 You’ve been gone for 300 hours.
457 00:30:40 I work full time now. You all know that.
458 00:30:46 I have to be the mommy and the daddy.
459 00:30:53 I miss your father as much as anyone
460 00:30:56 He’s with his angels.
461 00:30:58 Yes. He’s with all his angels.
462 00:31:00 And he’s watching over us.
463 00:31:02 Every minute. OK?
464 00:31:05 That's why we have to be strong.All right?
465 00:31:08 - Yes, Mamma.- Yeah! Get some rest, OK?
466 00:31:12 - Mamma?- Yes, baby.
467 00:31:14 Are the Russians fixing to attack us?
468 00:31:17 Where’d you get that from?
469 00:31:19 We had to hide under our desks today.All scrunched up.
470 00:31:23 OK, baby. That's called a drill.
471 00:31:25 It means ..
472 00:31:27 You practice safety, just in casesomething happens.
473 00:31:33 Truth is, we don’t know whatthey’re doing up there.
474 00:31:36 - You're going up to space too?- No, baby. But..
475 00:31:41 I’m going to do what I can to help thosebrave men get there. Yes, I'm.
476 00:31:46 You can fly to space too if you wanted to,Mamma. You can be an astronaut.
477 00:31:50 - Did you draw this?- Yes, mamma.
478 00:31:54 Is that me?
479 00:31:58 Yes, it is.
480 00:32:00 Oh, well. Goodness! I love you, baby.
481 00:32:04 - Me too!- I know, I know. Come here.
482 00:32:07 All right!Now this time...really go to bed.
483 00:32:11 I love you.Goodnight.
484 00:32:13 Goodnight.I love my picture, baby.
485 00:32:29 - Praise God!- Praise God!
486 00:32:31 - Hallelujah!- Hallelujah!
487 00:32:38 Praise God that change is coming.
488 00:32:45 From the Southern ChristianLeadership Conference,
489 00:32:48 to the good Reverend Dr. King,
490 00:32:50 Hallelujah!
491 00:32:52 to the students sitting in
492 00:32:53 at lunch counters in North Carolina.
493 00:32:56 His faith in us has no limit!
494 00:32:59 The good Lord..
495 00:33:01 has our very own women..
496 00:33:03 workin’ on rocket ships!
497 00:33:09 And we have National Guardsmen
498 00:33:12 defending our freedom!
499 00:33:14 Give a shout of praise for ColonelJim Johnson.
500 00:33:19 Returning home by the grace of God,
501 00:33:21 to set up a National Guard unit
502 00:33:23 right here in Hampton.
503 00:33:26 - Can I get a “Hallelujah” in here?!- Hallelujah!
504 00:33:34 I just don't understand..I just.. I don't..
505 00:33:36 I don't understand.
506 00:33:37 I don't want to talkabout this again, OK?
507 00:33:40 A female engineer?
508 00:33:41 A female engineer.
509 00:33:44 We’re Negro, baby. Ain’t nosuch thing. Understand it.
510 00:33:46 It’s not like that there, Levi.
511 00:33:48 You can’t “apply” for freedom. Freedomis never granted to the oppressed.
512 00:33:52 It’s got to be demanded. Taken.
513 00:33:54 Stop quoting your slogans at me.
514 00:33:56 There’s more than one way toachieve something.
515 00:33:58 I don’t want any greens.
516 00:34:00 I tell you about interrupting?
517 00:34:02 Yeah! Try this, baby.
518 00:34:06 You need the greens too.
519 00:34:08 Kid needs to eat vegetables.
520 00:34:11 You would know that, if you were home.
521 00:34:15 You better settle down, Levi Jackson.
522 00:34:17 Less you want this female’s mindright here, front of everybody.
523 00:34:22 All I’m saying
524 00:34:24 Don’t play the fool.
525 00:34:26 I don’t want to see you get hurt.
526 00:34:28 NASA’s never given you gals your due,
527 00:34:30 having a couple issued degreeswon’t change that.
528 00:34:34 Civil rights ain’t always civil.
529 00:34:42 I don't wanna any greens either.
530 00:34:44 No lip, little miss. Your brothergets them, and so do you.
531 00:34:50 I knew he’s planning on stayingin the area.
532 00:34:54 Well. That’s good for him.
533 00:34:56 Katherine,go find your way over there.
534 00:34:58 That Colonel Jim’s a tall glass of water!
535 00:35:01 That he is.Tall. Strong. Commanding.
536 00:35:05 - Perhaps he's like that day...and night.- Mary!
537 00:35:09 It’s Sunday!Please, have some shame.
538 00:35:12 I will not.
539 00:35:14 - Mm. I think he’s smiling over here.- At you!
540 00:35:22 - Then, I’m not smiling back.- You’re all teeth right now.
541 00:35:26 I am not!
542 00:35:30 - He’s coming over!- Now, why’s he doing that
543 00:35:32 - Because Mary’s waving at him!- No! Ladies, I'm not..
544 00:35:35 Too late. Fix your hair on the side.
545 00:35:38 I’m Dorothy Vaughan. This is Mary Jackson.I believe you met her husband, Levi.
546 00:35:41 Yes, ma’am. We did meet each other.
547 00:35:43 And this is Katherine Goble.
548 00:35:45 She’s not married. She’s a widow.
549 00:35:47 With three little girls,
550 00:35:49 so well-behaved.Angels on earth, if you'd like to call.
551 00:35:52 - Dorothy, slice-a pie?- I’d love one
552 00:35:56 Excuse me!
553 00:35:57 You've already have slice-a pie!
554 00:36:03 Well, I was just..
555 00:36:05 - fixing my three babies some plates.- May I help?
556 00:36:08 Sure.Ah! For salad!
557 00:36:13 Pastor mentioned you’re a “Computer”at NASA
558 00:36:16 - Yes!- What’s that entail?
559 00:36:21 We calculate the mathematicsnecessary to enable
560 00:36:23 launch and landing forthe Space Program.
561 00:36:27 - Pretty heady stuff!- Yes, it is.
562 00:36:29 They let women handle that sort of..
563 00:36:34 Yes. Not what I mean!
564 00:36:37 What do you mean?
565 00:36:41 I am.. just surprised something so..taxing..
566 00:36:47 Mr. Johnson!
567 00:36:50 If.. you at that quit talking right now!
568 00:36:52 I’m not meaning any disrespect
569 00:36:55 I’ll have you know, I wasthe first Negro female
570 00:36:58 student at West VirginiaUniversity Graduate School.
571 00:37:02 On any given day,I analyze the manometer levels
572 00:37:05 for air displacementfriction and velocity.
573 00:37:08 and compute over 10,000calculations by cosine,
574 00:37:11 square root and latelyAnalytic Geometry.
575 00:37:14 By hand. There are 20 bright,
576 00:37:17 highly capable Negro women in theWest Computing Group,
577 00:37:21 and we’re proud to be doing ourpart for the country.
578 00:37:24 So, yes..
579 00:37:25 They let women do some things at NASA,Mr. Johnson.
580 00:37:28 And it’s not because we wear skirts..
581 00:37:31 It’s because we wear glasses!
582 00:37:34 Have a good day!
583 00:37:50 Welcome.Welcome, marina.
584 00:37:54 Right here, Gentlemen!
585 00:38:06 That's Alan Shepard.
586 00:38:08 US Navy pilot. He could bethe first man in space.
587 00:38:11 - Yes!- Scott Carpenter and Walter Schirra.
588 00:38:14 Also Navy pilots.
589 00:38:16 All under 5’11”, 180 lbs.
590 00:38:19 IQs over 130.
591 00:38:20 And handsome mustbe a requirement too.
592 00:38:23 How can you possibly beogling these white men?
593 00:38:25 It’s equal rights. I have theright to see fine in every color.
594 00:38:30 He must be John Glenn.
595 00:38:31 He's the only Marine Corps pilot.
596 00:38:33 Gentlemen, if we may..much to see around here.
597 00:38:36 Heck, haven’t shaken all the hands yet.
598 00:38:38 - We have a fairly tight itinerary, Colonel.- Ruth, it's fine.
599 00:38:40 - He's coming straight.- look around ahead.
600 00:38:42 Ladies. Didn’t wannarun off without saying hello...
601 00:38:45 They seem to bein a big rush around her.
602 00:38:48 The Russians certainly aren’tslowing down any.
603 00:38:50 It's a big deal ‘frigerator, howthe heck they beat us into space?
604 00:38:55 What do you ladies do for NASA?
605 00:38:56 - Calculate your trajectories, sir.Launch and landing.
606 00:38:59 - I can’t get anywhere without the numbers.- No, sir.
607 00:39:01 Mary Jackson, Mr. Glenn.
608 00:39:04 Engineering. And I'm proud asthe devil to be workin’ with you.
609 00:39:07 Thank you, Mary.
610 00:39:08 John!
611 00:39:10 - Now, let's take this side!- Yes, sir.
612 00:39:11 Guys!
613 00:39:51 Mr. Harrison wants youto confirm launch
614 00:39:53 and landing for theRedstone Rocket test.
615 00:40:00 I cannot work on what I cannot see,Mr. Stafford.
616 00:40:04 It’s illegible.
617 00:40:05 These numbers ere evenconfirmed by two engineers
618 00:40:07 in this department, and myself.
619 00:40:08 This is more-orless a dummy check.
620 00:40:47 This one, like make a two. Makea double. OK? Get it?
621 00:40:54 No one thought to measure these things.
622 00:40:56 I'm afraid, not. Sir.
623 00:40:59 Would you like us to stop?
624 00:41:01 No. No, just..
625 00:41:04 I see, no. Just keep going.
626 00:41:07 That..
627 00:41:08 - Use.. Use the big hammer!- Yes, sir.
628 00:41:11 Come! Use the big hammer.You know that, man. Let's go!
629 00:41:41 Ma'am.
630 00:41:44 Our runner can pick up your work, Dorothy.
631 00:41:47 You need to be workin’,not walkin’.
632 00:41:49 Oh! It’s break time, ma’am.No trouble at all.
633 00:41:52 And since you made the trip...
634 00:41:54 you can take that batch over there!
635 00:41:57 Sure thing, Mrs. Mitchell.
636 00:42:02 You need somethin’ else?
637 00:42:03 Yes, ma'am.
638 00:42:05 I was wondering if you knew whatthey’re building in the Tech Wing.
639 00:42:11 It’s called an IBM.
640 00:42:13 A mainframe machine.
641 00:42:15 Apparently, it can do our calculationsin a fraction-a the time.
642 00:42:20 Guess that’s good for NASA.
643 00:42:25 Hurry on, now.Best if you do it in one trip.
644 00:42:45 Excuse me!
645 00:43:31 Is that correct?
646 00:43:33 Yeah!
647 00:43:41 Whose work is that?
648 00:43:45 I said, whose work is that?!
649 00:43:50 Katherine Goble, sir.
650 00:43:56 How did you know the Redstonecouldn’t support orbital flight?!
651 00:43:59 That’s classified information
652 00:44:00 It’s top secret.
653 00:44:02 Well, it's my secret why theRedstone tests keep failing,
654 00:44:04 for sub-orbital flight, but it can’thandle the weight of the capsule,
655 00:44:07 and push it into space.
656 00:44:10 Numbers don’t lie.
657 00:44:12 And you figured out all that with this?
658 00:44:16 Half the data is redacted!
659 00:44:18 What’s there tells the storyif you read between the lines.
660 00:44:22 The distance from launch to orbit, we know.Then mass we know.
661 00:44:25 The Mercury Capsule weight, we know.
662 00:44:27 And the speeds are there.. in the data.
663 00:44:30 You did the math.
664 00:44:32 Yes, sir.
665 00:44:34 I looked beyond.
666 00:44:38 Then how did you know about theAtlas rocket?
667 00:44:43 That’s not math.
668 00:44:45 That data’s not here. Like he said,it’s classified.
669 00:44:54 I held it up to the light.
670 00:44:57 - You held it up to the light?- Yes, sir.
671 00:45:05 Yep. There it is.
672 00:45:08 Atlas!
673 00:45:10 What’s your name?
674 00:45:11 Katherine Goble.
675 00:45:14 - Are you a spy, Katherine?- Am I what?
676 00:45:16 - I'm saying, are you a Russian spy?- No, sir.
677 00:45:19 I’m not Russian.
678 00:45:22 She’s not Russian, sir.
679 00:45:26 All right then, we havenothing to lose here.
680 00:45:28 Let’s get her everything she needsto work on Shepard’s trajectories.
681 00:45:30 Without redaction.Are we clear enough?
682 00:45:32 Right.Are we sure about this?
683 00:45:34 What’s the issue, Paul?You heard her.
684 00:45:36 She’s not a spy.
685 00:45:38 I.. I just don’t think it’s a good idea.
686 00:45:40 You know what I think is a good idea?
687 00:45:42 Darker ink.
688 00:45:44 I think darker ink is a good idea.Ruth, could pass it along?
689 00:45:46 Yes, sir.
690 00:45:48 - Thank you, Katherine!- Thank you, sir.
691 00:45:57 This interrogation is over!
692 00:46:17 You can probably get to themoon and back with these.
693 00:46:19 Just not the bathroom.
694 00:46:21 Least they’re notblind to what you do.
695 00:46:23 It’s not going to matter soon.
696 00:46:24 This IBM’s going to put us all out of work.
697 00:46:28 What can we do about it?
698 00:46:30 One thing to do!
699 00:46:32 Learn all we can.Make ourselves valuable.
700 00:46:35 Somewhere down the line a human being’sgoing to have to hit the buttons.
701 00:46:37 That's right.
702 00:46:40 Oh, mercy!
703 00:46:43 Well, she must be lost.
704 00:46:44 NASA doesn’t commission femalesfor the Engineer Training Program.
705 00:46:48 That position is available to anyqualified applicant.
706 00:46:52 Right. Except you don’t havethe educational requirements.
707 00:46:55 I have a Bachelors Degree inMathematics and Physical Sciences.
708 00:46:57 It's the same degree as mostengineers around here.
709 00:46:59 Well, we now require advanced extensioncourses through the University of Virginia.
710 00:47:04 It’s in the Employee Handbook.An addendum.
711 00:47:07 Case you haven’t read it!
712 00:47:09 Every time we have a chance to getahead, you’ll move the finish line.
713 00:47:12 I just follow the rules around here.And I expect..
714 00:47:15 everyone who works forme to follow them as well.
715 00:47:17 There are no special circumstancesfor anyone.
716 00:47:20 You all should be thankful,you have jobs at all.
717 00:47:29 “For those that cannot attend classes
718 00:47:31 at the University of Virginia,
719 00:47:32 Advanced Extension Courses areavailable at Hampton High School.”
720 00:47:38 That’s still a segregated school. Mary!
721 00:47:40 Virginia acts like Brown vs. the Boardof Education never happened.
722 00:47:43 They’ll never gonna allow a “colored” womanjust take classes at an all white school!
723 00:47:49 - Sounds about right.- That’s all you’re gonna say?
724 00:47:52 Well, I’m not going to sithere all day and listen to you
725 00:47:54 complain about the way thingsare which are as a play cards.
726 00:47:56 Petition the court. Fight for whatyou want. But quit talking about it
727 00:48:03 - I’ve been complaining?- For days!
728 00:48:04 Ladies!
729 00:48:07 Not one more peep about work.
730 00:48:08 Do you need vin?
731 00:48:10 Katherine,come on!
732 00:48:13 You!
733 00:48:14 Yeah! I needed this!Thank you!
734 00:48:20 Don’t give her any more again.
735 00:48:22 I can’t. She drank it all.
736 00:48:24 Yes.I'm fine!
737 00:48:26 I’m as fine as I’ve ever been.
738 00:48:28 You’re as drunk as you’ve ever been.
739 00:48:32 Come on! let's dance, girls.
740 00:48:34 Come on, Kath!Let's dance.
741 00:48:37 Go dance, Katherine.
742 00:48:38 Come on!
743 00:48:40 Just teach me how!
744 00:48:42 Keep going, here! All right.Slow! Here slow down.
745 00:49:21 Don’t pay attention to all that. We’renot part of that trouble. Go on!
746 00:49:36 Leonard..
747 00:49:37 We must have done it.
748 00:49:43 We don’t want any trouble in here.
749 00:49:46 Oh! I’m not here for any trouble. Ma'am.
750 00:49:48 What are you here for?
751 00:49:50 A book.
752 00:49:51 You have books in the colored section.
753 00:49:55 It doesn’t have what I’m looking for.
754 00:49:57 Well, I suggest the way it is.
755 00:50:04 Well, you know better...
756 00:50:05 Get your hands off my boys.Don’t touch them.
757 00:50:08 You have a blessed day.
758 00:50:18 Separate and equal aretwo different things.
759 00:50:22 Just cause it’s the waydoesn’t make it right.
760 00:50:25 Understand?
761 00:50:27 Yes, mamma.
762 00:50:28 You act right, you are right.That’s for certain. Understand?
763 00:50:33 Yes, mamma.
764 00:50:40 You took that book, mamma?
765 00:50:42 Son, I pay taxes.
766 00:50:44 And taxes pay for everythingin that library.
767 00:50:46 You take something whatyou already paid for.
768 00:50:53 FORTRAN is a new and exciting language..
769 00:50:57 Used by programmers to communicatewith computers...
770 00:51:00 It's exciting, as it's the wayof the future.
771 00:51:05 And everybody smile.
772 00:51:06 Everybody smile.
773 00:51:11 Make a wish!
774 00:51:17 Leonard, you need to get you a job now.
775 00:51:19 Two girls!
776 00:51:24 - Well, look at that.- Look at what?
777 00:51:26 What a surprise.
778 00:51:30 I'll say.
779 00:51:32 - Howard must have invited him.- Mmm. Hmmm.
780 00:51:35 I need to go and see the boys.
781 00:52:12 I believe I owe you an apology.
782 00:52:17 What was that it?
783 00:52:20 Can I make it while we dance?
784 00:52:34 I’m afraid I simply misspoke the otherday, Mrs. Goble.
785 00:52:39 I’ve been away for a long time.
786 00:52:42 I imagine, I’m just out of practice.
787 00:52:45 Mm-hmm.
788 00:52:46 Yeah. I was hoping you would allow meto start over?
789 00:52:51 Mm-hmm.
790 00:52:52 So, the thing is..
791 00:52:54 I have an interest in gettingto know you better.
792 00:52:57 Mm-hmm.
793 00:53:00 You are one tough customer. Huh?
794 00:53:04 You haven't said “you’re sorry” yet!
795 00:53:06 Right.Of course.
796 00:53:12 I’m sorry, Katherine.
797 00:53:15 For what, Jim?
798 00:53:17 Underestimating you.
799 00:53:19 Or any woman like you.
800 00:53:23 Though I can’t imagine there’s many.
801 00:53:27 That’s good practice, right there.
802 00:53:32 We interrupt this musical programmingwith breaking news.
803 00:53:36 The Soviet news agency has announcedthat Russian cosmonaut,
804 00:53:40 Yuri Gagarin, has becomethe first man in space.
805 00:53:43 Gagarin completed one full orbit aroundthe planet in 108 minutes.
806 00:53:48 Stay tuned to the station for moredetails, as they become available.
807 00:53:51 Man!Does that pussies pad look here?
808 00:53:55 .. a versatile one rocket,and then the Russian cosmonaut
809 00:53:56 April 12, 1961Yuri Gagarin first man in space
810 00:53:57 Yuri Gagarin, 3KA capsulein the orbit at 6:07 UTC.
811 00:54:02 Reentering Russian Air Space at 7:55 UTC.Proving conclusively
812 00:54:07 that man could survive orbital space wide.Gagarin was a..
813 00:54:12 Well..
814 00:54:13 They beat the pants off us.Let’s go..
815 00:54:17 Just learn how to fly to space.
816 00:54:21 And he's been declared a national hero.
817 00:54:24 This is a day of unprecedented triumphfor the Russian national program,
818 00:54:29 And a crushing blow for Americain the race for space.
819 00:54:33 I want to thank everyone for staying.
820 00:54:36 I know it’s late, andafter what we just saw...
821 00:54:38 I'm sure everyone’sprobably anxious to go home.
822 00:54:42 But before we do, I just haveto ask a question...
823 00:54:45 The same one..
824 00:54:47 I've been asking myself all the wayover here, which is.
825 00:54:52 How the hell we find ourselvesin second place in a two man race?
826 00:54:57 Anybody?
827 00:54:59 Paul?
828 00:55:01 I think Glenn said it pretty well.They’re just outworking us.
829 00:55:04 And the reason I have to..
830 00:55:06 think that is because I refuse to believethat the Russians are smarter than us,
831 00:55:09 or that they have more technology.Or that they care more.
832 00:55:14 But I don’t know? Is that possible?
833 00:55:17 Is it possible that it actually meansmore to them?
834 00:55:21 We’re in the fight of our lives, people.
835 00:55:24 This isn’t some epic joyride!
836 00:55:27 I just saw seven faces..
837 00:55:29 Who weren’t sure thatwe can get there.
838 00:55:35 Here's our problem.
839 00:55:38 And so, as of right now,
840 00:55:42 There’s only two things youneed to know going forward
841 00:55:44 One is, staying here working latethat's gonna be a fact of life.
842 00:55:48 And two, don't expect yourpaychecks reflect the extra time
843 00:55:50 is gonna take to catchup and pass those bastards.
844 00:55:55 For those of you that can’twork that way, I understand'em
845 00:55:57 and thank youfor what you've done.
846 00:56:00 For everyone else,
847 00:56:02 I suggest you call your wives..
848 00:56:05 and tell them how it’s gonna be.
849 00:56:07 I’ll start with mine.
850 00:56:49 Redstone Unnamed Rocket Test
851 00:57:06 - Sam! Go on!- Yes, sir
852 00:57:28 End of the day.
853 00:57:35 Tell me. we're looking good?
854 00:57:41 Try!
855 00:57:53 - So am I be there? Switch the latch!- I'm taking a watch!
856 00:57:56 We’re honored to serve our country.So, we don’t think about..
857 00:57:59 Danger.No time to be scared.
858 00:58:02 we have a job to do
859 00:58:13 Mrs. Jackson!
860 00:58:15 Colored seats are at the backof the courtroom.
861 00:58:18 Thank you, ma'am.
862 00:58:38 So, which one of you wants to go first?
863 00:59:04 The IBM 7090 Data Processing System,
864 00:59:08 It has a capability of solving of over24,000 multiplications
865 00:59:15 per second!
866 00:59:16 - Holy Moses, that’s lightning fast!- They’ll never get it to work.
867 00:59:20 It’ll run eventually. And when it doeswe have to know how to program it.
868 00:59:24 - Unless you’d rather be out of a job?- No!
869 00:59:33 Mr. Z.
870 00:59:35 I got a court date.
871 00:59:40 Computing uses it as high speed storageunit and..
872 00:59:44 And information holding device.
873 00:59:48 We have a file!
874 00:59:49 And I'll do it for you!
875 00:59:54 Now, listen! Hold the spark!
876 01:00:01 Beautiful!
877 01:00:06 - Ruth!- Yes, sir.
878 01:00:07 Get the Cape on the line.Shepard’s trajectories need to be updated.
879 01:00:15 Where is she?!
880 01:01:15 Where the hell have you been?
881 01:01:17 Everywhere I look you're notwhere I need you to be.
882 01:01:19 And it's not my imagination. So wherethe hell do you go everyday?
883 01:01:25 To the bathroom, sir.
884 01:01:27 The bathroom!
885 01:01:30 To the damn bathroom!
886 01:01:32 For 40 minutes a day!?
887 01:01:35 What do you do in there!?
888 01:01:38 We are T-minus zero here.I put a lot of faith in you.
889 01:01:43 There’s no bathroom for me here.
890 01:01:46 What do you mean there’sno bathroom for you here?
891 01:01:49 Here is no bathroom!
892 01:01:51 There are no colored bathroomsin this building,
893 01:01:53 or any building outside the West Campus.
894 01:01:56 Which is half a mile away!Did you know that?
895 01:02:00 I have to walk to Timbuktujust to relieve myself!
896 01:02:04 And I can’t use one of the handy bikes.
897 01:02:06 Picture that, Mr. Harrison?
898 01:02:08 My uniform...
899 01:02:10 Skirt below the knees and my heels.
900 01:02:13 And simple necklace pearls.Well, I don't own pearls.
901 01:02:16 Lord knows you don’t pay thecoloreds enough to afford pearls!
902 01:02:20 And I work like a dog day and night,
903 01:02:24 living on coffee from a pot none ofyou want me to touch!
904 01:02:41 So, excuse me..
905 01:02:44 if I have to go to the restrooma few times a day!
906 01:03:59 There you have it!
907 01:04:04 No more colored restrooms.
908 01:04:06 No more white restrooms.

910 01:04:12 Go wherever you damn well please.
911 01:04:14 Preferably closer to your desk.
912 01:04:23 At NASA...
913 01:04:25 We all pee the same color!
914 01:04:53 Heard you were fighting the flu.Thought you could use some soup?
915 01:04:57 Hot meal for the girls.
916 01:05:00 Come on, in.
917 01:05:07 Excuse me!

924 01:05:33 May 5, 1961Alan Shepard Launch
925 01:05:34 It's a history day at Cape Canaveral,and here we can expect Alan Shepard on
926 01:05:39 Freedom 7 will be launched in the spacein altitude about 116 miles an hour.
927 01:05:44 - Dorothy! Come on or you'll miss it!- I'm coming.
928 01:06:05 Any day now, Capcom.
929 01:06:07 Fix your little problem,and light this candle!
930 01:06:09 Roger that, Freedom 7.Standby.
931 01:06:17 Move to final countdown sequence.
932 01:06:19 Moving to final countdown sequence.
933 01:06:20 Copy that.
934 01:06:22 And we’re at T-minus10..
935 01:06:24 9... 8... 7... 6...
936 01:06:30 .. 5... 4...
937 01:06:32 3... 2...
938 01:06:35 1...Zero!
939 01:06:42 And we have liftoff!
940 01:06:44 Get up there!
941 01:06:54 Get on up there.
942 01:07:19 Trajectory is good.
943 01:07:25 "Yaw" is okay!
944 01:07:27 Switching to manual roll.
945 01:07:32 For the eyes of the world
946 01:07:35 now look into space,
947 01:07:37 to the moon and tothe planets beyond..
948 01:07:40 and we have vowed...that we shall not see it governed.
949 01:07:45 by a hostile flag of conquest,but by a banner
950 01:07:49 of freedom and peace.We set sail on this new sea,
951 01:07:55 because there is newknowledge to be gained..
952 01:07:58 and new rights to be won...
953 01:08:01 We choose to go to the Moon in this decadeand do the other things..
954 01:08:05 not because they are easy,but because they are hard.
955 01:08:10 .. Because we should all thank PresidentKennedy for continued job security.
956 01:08:17 Gus Grissom’s up next.
957 01:08:19 Another suborbital flight with a Redstone.
958 01:08:22 Our last shot before we strapGlenn to the Atlas..
959 01:08:25 And.. pray we can get him back down.
960 01:08:28 Yes, and I imagine he’d like us to havethe math figured out beforehand.
961 01:08:33 Good work, gentlemen.
962 01:08:35 Go have dinner with your kids.Then...
963 01:08:37 let’s get back to work.
964 01:09:11 I think it’s high time thatI kissed you, Kathe.
965 01:09:15 Oh. And why’s that?
966 01:09:19 Figure you’re attracted to methe same as I to you.
967 01:09:24 Is that right?
968 01:09:26 Or you would have told me toget going a long time ago.
969 01:09:43 Haven’t kissed a man in a long time.
970 01:09:47 Almost forgot how to.
971 01:10:02 The FBI has arrested four whitemen accused of throwing a fire
972 01:10:05 bomb into a Freedom Riders’ bussouth-side of Anniston, Alabama.
973 01:10:10 - Hi, baby!- Hello!
974 01:10:18 - The kids don’t need to be watching this..- They need to see this!
975 01:10:23 Everyone needs to see this.
976 01:10:30 We think we arranging agreat service to our nation.
977 01:10:34 For this is not a strugglefor ourselves alone.
978 01:10:37 It is the struggle to savethe soul of America.
979 01:10:40 Mary Jackson.
980 01:10:41 Petition to attend courses atHampton High School.
981 01:10:48 Good morning, your honor.
982 01:10:54 Hampton High School is a white school,Mrs. Jackson.
983 01:10:58 Yes, your Honor.I’m aware of that.
984 01:11:00 Virginia is still a segregated state.
985 01:11:02 Regardless of what the FederalGovernment says, or regardless what..
986 01:11:05 Supreme Court says our law..
987 01:11:08 is the law.
988 01:11:09 Your Honor,if I may.
989 01:11:11 I believe there are special circumstancesto be considered.
990 01:11:14 What would warranta colored woman attendin’ a white school?
991 01:11:19 May I approach the bench, sir?
992 01:11:34 Your Honor,
993 01:11:35 You of all people should understandthe importance of being first.
994 01:11:39 How’s that, Mrs. Jackson?
995 01:11:42 Well, you were the first in your family
996 01:11:44 to serve in the Armed Forces.
997 01:11:46 US Navy.
998 01:11:47 The first to attend University.
999 01:11:50 George Mason.
1000 01:11:52 And the first State Judge to be re-commissionedby three consecutive Governors.
1001 01:11:57 You’ve done some research.
1002 01:11:59 Yes, sir.
1003 01:12:00 What’s the point?
1004 01:12:02 The point is, your Honor...
1005 01:12:03 No Negro woman in the State of Virginiahas ever attended an all white school.
1006 01:12:08 - It’s unheard of.- Yeah! Unheard of.
1007 01:12:12 And before Alan Shepardsat on top of a rocket,
1008 01:12:14 no other American had ever touched space.
1009 01:12:17 And now, he will forever be rememberedas the US Navy man from New Hampshire.
1010 01:12:22 The first to touch the stars.
1011 01:12:25 And I, sir.
1012 01:12:27 I plan on being an engineer at NASA.
1013 01:12:30 But I can’t do that without taking thoseclasses at that all-white high school.
1014 01:12:34 And I can’t change the color of my skin.
1015 01:12:38 So, I have no choice.. but to be the first.
1016 01:12:42 Which I can’t do without you, sir.
1017 01:12:45 Your Honor,
1018 01:12:46 of all the cases you’ll hear today,
1019 01:12:49 which one will matter in a hundred years from now?
1020 01:12:52 Which one will make you the “first?”
1021 01:13:06 Only the night classes.
1022 01:13:08 Mrs. Jackson.
1023 01:13:26 Gus Grissom: Launch and Landing Projection
1024 01:13:29 By: Paul Stafford
1025 01:13:42 and Katherine Goble
1026 01:13:49 - All right. Do you say, how it gonna be?- Give me more 5 minutes' sir.
1027 01:13:52 Gus Grissom's are going late..
1028 01:13:54 I’d like to get a jump onJohn Glenn’s trajectory.
1029 01:13:58 Do you have any idea what you’re asking?
1030 01:14:00 An orbital launchwith an Atlas Rocket is going to take time.
1031 01:14:03 Is there a problem?
1032 01:14:06 Mr. Harrison...
1033 01:14:09 I was wondering....
1034 01:14:10 I’ve been wondering my whole life.So just... Spit it out.
1035 01:14:14 Well, sir.
1036 01:14:18 I’d like to get a jump onJohn Glenn’s trajectory.
1037 01:14:21 This isn’t about plugging in numbers,this is about inventing the math.
1038 01:14:24 I think we talked about that, right?It doesn’t exist.
1039 01:14:26 I can do it, sir.
1040 01:14:28 Do you know any idea how exactingthese calculations have to be?
1041 01:14:31 It’s like shooting a sawed-off shotgunfrom a thousand feet,
1042 01:14:34 and getting that one beebee through a holeso tiny, you can’t even see it.
1043 01:14:37 I’m an excellent shot, sir.
1044 01:14:39 How're Grissom’s numbers. Paul?
1045 01:14:42 They appear spot on.
1046 01:14:46 Give Glenn’s orbit a go.
1047 01:14:49 But you run it all through Stafford.Understood?
1048 01:14:51 Yes, sir.
1049 01:14:52 Thank you.
1050 01:14:57 Computers don’t author reports.
1051 01:15:06 July 21, 1961Gus Grissom Recovery
1052 01:15:23 Liberty Bell 7 capsule is stalking on water.
1053 01:15:27 Gus Grissom is out of the capsule. Rescuersare gonna bull him from the Ocean waves.
1054 01:15:33 Unfortunately,Liberty Bell 7 capsule..
1055 01:15:36 .. is lost.
1056 01:15:48 Mr. Harrison, Taxpayer money sank inthe ocean along with your capsule.
1057 01:15:51 What makes you think you canbring John Glenn home safely?
1058 01:15:55 Let me say first that discovery is neverfor the sake of discovery, Gentlemen,
1059 01:15:58 but for the sake of human survival.
1060 01:16:01 It will always come with risk.
1061 01:16:05 Whoever gets there first, will make the rules.That’s been true of every civilization. And so..
1062 01:16:10 I think the bigger question forthis body to consider is..
1063 01:16:13 who do you want calling the shots in space?
1064 01:16:17 We have to know what’s out there, Senator.
1065 01:16:20 We have to touch the stars. Ifonly to ensure our own survival.
1066 01:16:24 And only a man can do that.
1067 01:16:28 We’ll get John Glenn home safelybecause we have to,
1068 01:16:32 because he has to tell us what he saw.
1069 01:16:38 The Redstone Rocket went straight up.
1070 01:16:40 But the capsule..
1071 01:16:41 .. didn't have enough speed to gointo orbit. So came back down.
1072 01:16:44 Essentially it’s a triangle..Earth, sub-orbit, Earth.
1073 01:16:48 The math was known.
1074 01:16:49 It took Shepard,it took Grissom.
1075 01:16:53 But cannot take Glenn.
1076 01:16:56 Now, The Atlas Rocket..
1077 01:16:58 That can push us into orbit..It goes up...
1078 01:17:01 Delivers the capsuleinto an elliptical orbit.
1079 01:17:04 Earth’s gravity keeps pulling it,
1080 01:17:05 but it’s going so fast thatit keeps missing the Earth.
1081 01:17:08 That's how it stays in orbit.
1082 01:17:11 Now, Getting it back down...
1083 01:17:14 That’s the math we don’t know.
1084 01:17:17 Yes, Katherine!
1085 01:17:19 So, the capsule will spinaround the Earth forever,
1086 01:17:21 because there’s nothingto slow it down?
1087 01:17:24 That's right. Slowing it down at preciselythe right moment,
1088 01:17:28 by precisely the right amount
1089 01:17:30 That is the task.
1090 01:17:34 Yes, Katherine!
1091 01:17:35 So, it means to move from anelliptical orbit.. to a parabolic orbit?
1092 01:17:43 Yes.That’s the Go/ No Go.
1093 01:17:47 Now, this point is a pin head.
1094 01:17:49 - We bring him in too soon..- He burns up on reentry.
1095 01:17:53 That's right. We bring him too late,and he’s pushed out of Earth’s gravity.
1096 01:17:57 Any changes in mass, weight, speed, time,
1097 01:18:01 distance, friction... or a puff of wind..would alter the Go/No Go.
1098 01:18:07 And we start our calculatings.. over?
1099 01:18:11 Yes.
1100 01:18:12 So, we need to be able tochoose this re-entry point.
1101 01:18:17 This Go/No Go.This has to be exact.
1102 01:18:21 Sam!
1103 01:18:22 These are the latest Redstone numbersand current capsule data.
1104 01:18:26 Obviously, we know the launch spot
1105 01:18:28 The Pentagon Briefing should illuminatewhere the Navy needs the recovery zone.
1106 01:18:32 When we work backwards from there.
1107 01:18:35 And the rest is on us.So, let's get to work.
1108 01:18:38 - Mr. Stafford.- What, Katherine?
1109 01:18:41 If I can attended these briefings, Iwould be more useful to the project.
1110 01:18:45 Pentagon briefing is a closed door.
1111 01:18:47 Yes.But we don't have the information,
1112 01:18:51 or the changes.. we can’t keep up.I need the changes as they occur.
1113 01:18:54 - As you said, it’s a pin head.- Katherine, that’s the job.
1114 01:18:57 Then, when you asked for the assignment.So just calculate with what you have.
1115 01:19:01 Or we’ll find someone who can.
1116 01:19:10 OK.
1117 01:19:24 That’a girl.
1118 01:19:26 And what the hell are you doing!?You can’t be in here!
1119 01:19:29 Who are you?
1120 01:19:30 I’m with the West Computing Group.
1121 01:19:32 Dorothy Vaughan, sir.
1122 01:19:34 But, this is a verydelicate piece of equipment.
1123 01:19:36 I’m sorry, sir.I'm just trying to be helpful.
1124 01:19:39 Bill, we’ve got numbers.
1125 01:19:42 What kind of numbers?
1126 01:19:48 Look, Bill.
1127 01:19:51 What's your name again?
1128 01:19:53 Dorothy Vaughan.
1129 01:19:55 Dorothy Vaughan?
1130 01:20:00 Friendship 7 : Launch Projections
1131 01:20:04 Sir, Launch parametersfor Friendship 7.
1132 01:20:06 Oh, Jesus! It’s all moot. We’realtering the window on the capsule.
1133 01:20:10 When did this happen?
1134 01:20:11 6 minutes ago. The mass is changing.Start over.
1135 01:20:13 Sir.. If I could attend briefings..I could stay current..
1136 01:20:17 Katherine, we’ve been through this.It’s not possible.
1137 01:20:19 There’s no protocol for women attending.
1138 01:20:21 There’s no protocol for a mancircling the Earth either, sir.
1139 01:20:24 OK. That’s justthe way things are.
1140 01:20:49 Friendship 7 : Launch ProjectionsBy: Paul Stafford
1141 01:20:56 and Katherine Goble.
1142 01:21:01 Colonel Glenn’s launch coordinatesaccounting for the window change, sir.
1143 01:21:04 I’ve told you this: Computers don’tauthor reports. Fix it.
1144 01:21:07 Those are my calculations.My name should be on it.
1145 01:21:09 But it is not the way this works.
1146 01:21:11 Paul.What’s happening here?
1147 01:21:13 Mr. Harrison,I’d like to attend today’s briefing.
1148 01:21:16 - Why’s that?- Well, sir, the data changes so fast.
1149 01:21:19 The capsule changes. The weight and thelanding zones are all changing everyday.
1150 01:21:24 I do my work, you attend these briefings.I have to start all over.
1151 01:21:27 Colonel Glenn launches in a few weeks.
1152 01:21:30 We don’t have the math figured out yet.
1153 01:21:32 - Why can’t she attend?- Because she doesn’t have clearance, Al.
1154 01:21:35 I can not do my work effectivelyif I do not have all of the data,
1155 01:21:38 and all of the informationas soon as it’s available.
1156 01:21:40 I need to be in that room,hearing what you hear.
1157 01:21:42 Pentagon Briefings are not for civilians.It requires the highest clearance.
1158 01:21:45 I feel like I’m the best personto present my calculations
1159 01:21:47 - Will you let this go, huh?- Well, I'm not!
1160 01:21:49 Let her in? She’s a woman.There’s no protocol for a woman attending.
1161 01:21:52 Okay, I get that part, Paul.
1162 01:21:57 But within these walls,who... makes the rules?
1163 01:22:01 You, sir. You’re the boss.You just have to act like one. Sir.
1164 01:22:15 You keep quiet.
1165 01:22:17 Thank you.
1166 01:22:19 Good morning.
1167 01:22:21 Good morning.
1168 01:22:31 This is Katherine Goble with ourTrajectory and Launch Window Division.
1169 01:22:36 Her work is pertinent totoday’s proceedings.
1170 01:22:39 Come.I'll get her a chair.
1171 01:22:44 We have a confirmedlaunch window..
1172 01:22:45 - Give her your chair.- Yes, sir.
1173 01:22:47 We have a confirmed launch window forfriendship 7. Let’s discuss a landing zone.
1174 01:22:51 The Navy needs a singular landing zone.
1175 01:22:53 20 miles square is what we canservice for retrieval.
1176 01:22:56 Outside of that,we risk the capsule’s recovery.
1177 01:22:59 We’d like 3 possible recovery areas.
1178 01:23:01 We can’t cover half the damn ocean.
1179 01:23:04 What I do respectour capsule’s being altered daily.
1180 01:23:07 We’re orbiting the Earth at...what’s the speed now?
1181 01:23:16 17,544 miles per hour.
1182 01:23:19 At the time the rocket delivers thecapsule into low space orbit.
1183 01:23:25 That’s one hell of a speeding ticket.
1184 01:23:29 OK.So we have the vehicle's speed,
1185 01:23:32 the launch window and for argument’s sake,the landing zone is The Bahamas.
1186 01:23:37 Should be enough to figure the Go/No Go?
1187 01:23:39 - Yeah! In theory, sir.- We need to be past theory at this point.
1188 01:23:42 We’ll be able to calculate aGo/No Go with that information.
1189 01:23:45 When exactly is that gonna happen?
1190 01:23:58 Katherine.
1191 01:24:01 Have a go at it?
1192 01:24:28 The Go point for re-entry
1193 01:24:31 is 2,990 miles
1194 01:24:35 from where we want Colonel Glenn to land.
1195 01:24:38 If we assume that’s The Bahamas.
1196 01:24:41 At 17,544 miles per hour..
1197 01:24:46 upon reentry..
1198 01:24:48 370..
1199 01:24:50 At a descent angle..
1200 01:24:52 of 46.56 ..
1201 01:24:55 degrees..distance..
1202 01:25:32 OK!So, that puts the landing zone at...
1203 01:25:34 25.0667° North,
1204 01:25:38 77.3333° West.
1205 01:25:42 Which is here!
1206 01:25:47 Right here.Give or take 20 square miles.
1207 01:25:56 I like her numbers.
1208 01:25:59 Thank you.
1209 01:26:01 That of course is assuming the ..capsule hits the reentry point exactly
1210 01:26:06 How do we insure that?
1211 01:26:09 That’s the math we don’thave yet, gentlemen.
1212 01:26:11 We’re working on it.
1213 01:26:15 Katherine!
1214 01:26:20 What’s it gonna take to makethis thing worth the price tag?
1215 01:26:22 We’re just getting up to speed here,Mr. Harrison.
1216 01:26:24 I need more man power.
1217 01:26:26 I mean Programmers.Folks to feed the cards.
1218 01:26:28 Then get them, for crying out loud.right?
1219 01:26:30 - You’re the IBM man, right?- Yes, sir.
1220 01:26:32 Pull them out of the sky if youhave to, but let’s get ahead of
1221 01:26:35 - this thing. Or I’m not paying you.- I understand.
1222 01:26:41 I got thoughts.I got thoughts on it.
1223 01:26:44 I'm not paying any of you!
1224 01:26:56 - Me?- Temporarily. Yes.
1225 01:26:59 We need the IBM for Glenn’s launch.
1226 01:27:01 The Lead Engineer says you’re goodwith the cards, programming and such.
1227 01:27:05 What about the girls here?
1228 01:27:06 Human computers can’t calculate anorbital flight in the time we have.
1229 01:27:10 - They’ll stay put for now.- What about after “now?”
1230 01:27:15 After the Glenn launch, NASA’sdissolvin’ the Computing Groups.
1231 01:27:22 I’m not accepting reassignment.
1232 01:27:24 Unless, I bring my ladies with me.
1233 01:27:27 Excuse me?
1234 01:27:28 We’re going to need a lot ofmanpower to program that beast.
1235 01:27:30 I can’t do it alone.My girls are ready
1236 01:27:34 They can do the work.
1237 01:27:39 Ladies!we’ve been reassigned.
1238 01:27:45 Leave your calculators.You won’t need them where we’re going.
1239 01:28:48 Welcome, ladies!
1240 01:29:01 Do you know what your job is, Paul?
1241 01:29:04 To find the genius among those geniuses.
1242 01:29:07 To pull us all up.
1243 01:29:09 We all get to the peak together,or we.. don’t get there at all.
1244 01:29:17 Yes. Well.Good night, sir.
1245 01:29:49 I don’t know what timeI’m coming home.
1246 01:29:51 The class ends at 9.
1247 01:29:56 You get something to say?
1248 01:29:59 Thought you might need these.
1249 01:30:04 You can refill ‘em with any weightlead you want.
1250 01:30:07 See? Just hit the tap like this.
1251 01:30:11 A lead comes up.
1252 01:30:14 You put the new lead in..
1253 01:30:15 And.. New pencil!
1254 01:30:22 You will make a fine engineer.
1255 01:30:25 - You think so?- Yes.
1256 01:30:29 And nobody dare stand in the way ofMary Jackson’s dreams. Myself included.
1257 01:30:41 - Don’t make me mad again.- Yes, ma'am.
1258 01:30:48 Then, don’t make me late either.
1259 01:30:50 Then don't be late, I'm waiting!
1260 01:31:00 Hi, gentlemen.Tonight we discuss Planck–Einstein.
1261 01:31:04 Where Planck relationships..
1262 01:31:10 Yes?
1263 01:31:12 I’m Mary Jackson.I’m enrolled.
1264 01:31:17 Well. The curriculum is not designedfor teaching... a woman.
1265 01:31:21 Well, I imagine it’s the same asteaching a man.
1266 01:31:25 I don’t see a colored section.Should I just take any seat?
1267 01:31:34 Thank you.
1268 01:31:41 OK.
1269 01:31:43 Planck–Einstein...
1270 01:31:46 The problem is when the capsule movesfrom an elliptical orbit to a parabolic orbit.
1271 01:31:52 There’s no mathematical formula for that.
1272 01:31:55 As we can calculate launch, landing
1273 01:31:57 but without this conversion, the capsulestays in orbit, we can’t bring it home.
1274 01:32:04 Maybe we’re thinking about this all wrong.
1275 01:32:06 How’s that?
1276 01:32:12 Maybe it’s not new math at all.
1277 01:32:15 It could be old math.
1278 01:32:18 Something that looks at the problemnumerically, and not theoretically
1279 01:32:22 - Math is always dependable.- For you it is.
1280 01:32:33 Euler’s Method.
1281 01:32:34 - Euler’s Method?- Yes.
1282 01:32:36 - That’s ancient.- But it works!
1283 01:32:39 It works numerically.
1284 01:33:17 That's it!
1285 01:33:21 Let’s type it up.
1286 01:33:29 Friendship 7: Launch, Landingand Go/No Go Analysis
1287 01:33:34 By: Paul Stafford
1288 01:33:48 Dorothy.
1289 01:33:50 Mrs. Mitchell.
1290 01:33:58 You’re working late today.
1291 01:34:01 The same is always happening that way
1292 01:34:03 Yes.Seems to.
1293 01:34:14 Thank you.
1294 01:34:18 I hear the IBM is at full capacity.
1295 01:34:22 You certainly have a knack for it
1296 01:34:25 My father taught me a thing ortwo about mechanics.
1297 01:34:28 You know, I have a few girls in the East Groupthat have an interest in knowin’ more about it.
1298 01:34:33 - It is the future.- I may bring ‘em by, if it’s all the same to you.
1299 01:34:38 That’s not my decision. Ma'am.That would be the supervisor’s.
1300 01:34:43 Yes. That’s true.
1301 01:34:45 Well.Good night, Mrs. Mitchell.
1302 01:34:50 You know, Dorothy...
1303 01:34:53 Despite what you may think..I have nothin’ against ya’ll.
1304 01:34:59 I know.I know you probably believe that.
1305 01:35:16 Goodnight, Katherine.
1306 01:35:18 Good nigh!
1307 01:35:21 - Mamma.- Hey, baby!
1308 01:35:24 Hi!Hey!
1309 01:35:28 Please don't tell me I misssomeone's birthday!
1310 01:35:31 - No, you didn't!- No, you didn't, mamma!
1311 01:35:32 Madame...Your seat.
1312 01:35:34 Thank you!Well, is it my birthday?
1313 01:35:39 No, mamma.
1314 01:35:42 You're all look so pretty!
1315 01:35:47 Mamma!What's going on?
1316 01:35:52 Good evening, Katherine.
1317 01:35:58 - So, you are not gonna say anything?- It's not my place.
1318 01:36:04 You, really?
1319 01:36:08 Okay, I’m not going to do this all night...
1320 01:36:12 Oh, mother of mercy.That’s for me?
1321 01:36:19 Are you sad, Mamma?
1322 01:36:21 - No! - It’s okay, Mamma.- He’s a good man.
1323 01:36:24 I know.I know. I just. I can’t help it.
1324 01:36:27 He hasn’t even asked you yet.
1325 01:36:30 I know, but he is..You are, right?
1326 01:36:33 If ya'll let me.
1327 01:36:35 Go on. She’s already crying.
1328 01:36:38 - This was my mother’s ring.- It is beautiful
1329 01:36:42 - She and my father were married for..- For 52 years.
1330 01:36:47 I figure it’s about as lucky as a ringas you can get.
1331 01:36:51 The day I met you, I called my mother...
1332 01:36:53 I said: "Mom!I met the woman I want to marry."
1333 01:36:57 What’d she say?
1334 01:36:58 She said: “She must be something,Jimmy. Really something.”
1335 01:37:00 Then what'd you say?
1336 01:37:02 I said: "No, She is more than Something,She is Everything."
1337 01:37:11 I planned on this being more romantic.I’ll make that up to you real soon.
1338 01:37:16 But I know marrying you..includes me and the girls as well.
1339 01:37:22 Amen to that.
1340 01:37:24 I do.
1341 01:37:27 - I didn’t ask you yet.- Hurry up!
1342 01:37:36 No pain, please!No, girls. No tears.
1343 01:37:44 The Mercury Atlas Space vehicle,which will putt John Glenn
1344 01:37:47 the first American into Earth orbit,
1345 01:37:49 has already undergone 5 unmannedflight tests.
1346 01:37:52 NASA has confirmed that theIBM 790 data processing
1347 01:37:56 system has been utilized to confirm all of themission's long and recovery system calculations.
1348 01:38:01 The modification and equib-installationare processing upon the schedule.
1349 01:38:05 Them, Here!
1350 01:38:07 - You wanted to see me, sir?- Have a seat
1351 01:38:11 Is there something wrong, Mr. Harrison?
1352 01:38:12 No. There’s nothing wrong.
1353 01:38:16 In fact our IBM is churning out numbersin fractions of the time any human can
1354 01:38:20 Present company included.
1355 01:38:22 That’s good then.
1356 01:38:27 Maybe.
1357 01:38:29 The thing is, the Cape is now insisting ondoing all the backups down there. On site.
1358 01:38:34 I see.
1359 01:38:35 So, we won’t be running backups here.
1360 01:38:38 And truth be told, we can’t keep upwith that IBM anyhow.
1361 01:38:44 Long story short, we no longer need a..computer in this department.
1362 01:38:49 Progress is a double edged sword.
1363 01:38:57 Let’s have you report backto the West Group for now.
1364 01:38:59 - I’ll see if we can find another assignment.- Thank you, sir.
1365 01:39:07 Katherine, I’m..I'm sorry about this
1366 01:39:13 It’s out of my hands, if youcan believe that.
1367 01:39:16 I understand.
1368 01:39:41 Katherine..We heard you got engaged.
1369 01:39:46 Yes.That’s thoughtful of you.
1370 01:39:56 - Oh, Dear! Lovely.- Mr. Harrison’s idea really.
1371 01:40:00 Although I suspect his wife didthe picking out.
1372 01:40:03 I can’t imagine he has an eyeon anything but numbers..
1373 01:40:07 Now, you have a great wedding.You did good work around here, Katherine.
1374 01:40:47 I don’t think I felt a thingthe first time I did this.
1375 01:40:50 It's so nervous.
1376 01:40:54 - This is beautiful than you were back then.- You think so?
1377 01:40:58 Just a little older.
1378 01:41:00 And a little fuller...But you look good.
1379 01:41:08 - Here we go!- Again!
1380 01:41:15 February 20, 1962Jon Glenn's Launch
1381 01:41:20 That'a girl!
1382 01:41:25 .. And Colonel John Glenn,will bethe first American to orbit the Earth.
1383 01:41:29 As you can see, there are thousands ofpeople here to witness this history today..
1384 01:41:35 Something is off here. These landingcoordinates don’t match yesterday’s.
1385 01:41:39 Let's see.The IBM just ran them.
1386 01:41:42 Then the IBM was wrong yesterday, right?
1387 01:41:47 Goddamn! I think it's wrong today.
1388 01:41:52 Paul, Am I right?- It appears so.
1389 01:41:59 Cape Canaveral
1390 01:41:59 The IBM has been spot on up to this point, John.
1391 01:42:02 but we’ll run it again,to see what it comes up with.
1392 01:42:04 I'll be ass with you..When I fly, I fly the machine,
1393 01:42:08 Right now, it seems like this machineis flying me.
1394 01:42:11 We’re on the same page, John.The guys are wrong in it.
1395 01:42:13 Let’s get the girl to check the numbers.
1396 01:42:15 - The girl?- Yes, sir.
1397 01:42:20 - You mean Katherine?- Yes, sir. The smart one.
1398 01:42:23 If she says they’re good,I’m ready to go.
1399 01:42:26 - All right. We’ll get into it.- Roger!
1400 01:42:31 Sam!Go find find Katherine Goble.
1401 01:42:34 She needs to verify Glenn’s Go/No Goor we’ll stay on the ground.
1402 01:42:38 Yes, sir.
1403 01:43:03 I’m looking for Katherine Goble?!
1404 01:43:05 - I'm Katherine Johnson now.- They need you to verify these coordinates.
1405 01:43:18 All right.Give them some space to work.
1406 01:43:23 A truly historic day for America..
1407 01:43:26 The country has waited for several months,Through many failed unmanned rocket tests
1408 01:43:32 and then scheduled manned tasks,
1409 01:43:35 which were canceled for variousmechanical or system complications.
1410 01:43:40 All the final tests and checks are being conducted,John Glenn is ready to board the Friendship 7.
1411 01:43:57 - Anything from Langley?- Not yet.
1412 01:44:12 After years of waiting, and NASA delays,
1413 01:44:14 John Glen is finally ready for that space..
1414 01:44:31 - We are still going.- Yes, sir.
1415 01:44:38 That's it.
1416 01:44:43 What the devil you're doing?Are you taking a break?
1417 01:45:33 Can I see the time?
1418 01:46:06 Sir.
1419 01:46:12 Pad 14.
1420 01:46:25 Katherine!
1421 01:46:31 Come on!
1422 01:46:36 Sir, we’ve got Pad 14 on the box.
1423 01:46:38 Get them in here.
1424 01:46:43 This is Langley.We have the coordinates confirmed.
1425 01:46:46 Standby, then.
1426 01:46:49 We can confirm the Go/No Gopoint for re-entry is..
1427 01:46:53 16.11984 degrees latitude-165.2356 degrees longitude.
1428 01:47:06 The launch window is a go.The landing coordinates match.
1429 01:47:10 That's very good news, Al.
1430 01:47:12 It's a little hard to trust somethingyou can’t look in the eyes.
1431 01:47:15 That’s right, Colonel.Katherine did manage to calculate
1432 01:47:18 a few decimal points further than thathunk of metal.
1433 01:47:22 Well, I’ll take every digit ya got.Be sure to thank her for me.
1434 01:47:25 - Gentlemen! Let's launch this rocket.- Good luck, Friendship 7.
1435 01:47:29 God speed, Langley.
1436 01:47:33 ...Unit Cape Canaveral, and the countdownhas resumed. as Colonel John Glenn
1437 01:47:38 is now aboard Friendship 7,high above the Atlas rocket on Pan 14.
1438 01:47:43 A height of over 93 feet ..
1439 01:47:47 These pictures of Cape Canaveral flightoff. Mech-entry is now moving back.
1440 01:47:51 Here we’re go for launch.
1441 01:47:53 The Mercury Spacecraft is all its way out.
1442 01:47:57 T-minus.10 seconds, and counti'.
1443 01:48:00 8.. 7.. 6.. 5..
1444 01:48:03 4.. 3.. 2..
1445 01:48:07 1.. Zero.Ignition.
1446 01:48:22 It’s getting bumpy along here.
1447 01:48:24 Roger that.You are in Max Q.
1448 01:48:26 Roger.Keep countin'
1449 01:48:29 Twenty seconds to SECO.
1450 01:48:32 - The trajectory is still be "OK".- Go for SECO.
1451 01:48:42 Zero G. And I feeling fine.
1452 01:48:45 John Glenn reports everything looks good!
1453 01:48:48 Oh, that view is tremendous.
1454 01:48:52 Roger, that, Friendship 7.
1455 01:49:00 - You are go for orbit.- Thanks you, Capcom!
1456 01:49:08 All right. 10.5 hours to go.If we make 7 round trips.
1457 01:49:13 I do need a coffee.
1458 01:49:17 Well, as you focus on today,here on the Eastern seaboard..
1459 01:49:20 Colonel Glenn is just beginninghis third orbit.
1460 01:49:23 Three coordinates of the wayacross the African continent.
1461 01:49:26 We see he is currently over Zanzibar, whichis the next tracking station coming up.
1462 01:49:30 Thankfully the Friendship 7 capsule is..
1463 01:49:41 New assignment came down the pike.
1464 01:49:46 Always changin’ ‘round here.It's hard to keep up.
1465 01:49:51 IBM Computing Lab.Position: Supervisor
1466 01:49:53 Seems like they’re gonna needa permanent team to feed that IBM
1467 01:49:57 - How big of a team?- 30 to start.
1468 01:50:03 Thank you for the information,Mrs. Mitchell.
1469 01:50:07 You’re quite welcome... Mrs. Vaughan.
1470 01:50:52 Heat Shield
1471 01:50:55 We have a warning light!
1472 01:50:57 Capcom 7,I have a warning light.
1473 01:50:59 Standby, 7.
1474 01:51:01 Sir, we have a warning light!
1475 01:51:06 - What are you looking at, Paul?- The heat shield may have come loose.
1476 01:51:11 7, will you confirm the landingbag is in the OFF position?
1477 01:51:15 Affirmative, Capcom.
1478 01:51:18 We need to get him down, nowHe could burn up on re-entry.
1479 01:51:30 Come on, babies!
1480 01:51:32 There’s a man in space. We don’t want tomiss it, so we gonna home.
1481 01:51:35 Something’s wrong with Glenn.
1482 01:51:36 - Oh, my Goodness!- What's going on?
1483 01:51:37 - Let's go.- Ya'll follow me.
1484 01:51:41 We’ve just learned, the Friendship 7..is in danger of losing its heat shield.
1485 01:51:47 Have you heard any banging noises?or anything of this type at higher rates?
1486 01:51:51 That’s a negative, Capcom.
1487 01:51:54 Tell them not to jettisonthe retro-package.
1488 01:51:56 Tell him not to jettisonthe retro-package.
1489 01:51:58 NASA is confirming this is some sort ofmalfunction with the capsule’s heat shield,
1490 01:52:02 and it may not stay in place.
1491 01:52:04 If the heat shield is loose... The retro-package straps might hold it in place.
1492 01:52:10 - Will that work?- It will work.
1493 01:52:13 It will hold it until he reaches theGo /No Go point. It will work!
1494 01:52:18 He has to override the 05g.
1495 01:52:21 Do it.
1496 01:52:23 Friendship 7...
1497 01:52:24 We’re recommending that the retro-packageNOT, I repeat, NOT be jettisoned.
1498 01:52:29 This means that you will haveto override the 05g switch.
1499 01:52:33 Roger!Is this a reason for this? Over.
1500 01:52:37 Standby, 7.
1501 01:52:43 Not this time, 7.
1502 01:52:46 Roger, that command.I’ll have to make a manual 05g entry,
1503 01:52:50 and bring the scope in.Over.
1504 01:52:56 He knows.
1505 01:53:05 Without a heat shield,there’s no way that Colonel Glenn
1506 01:53:08 can get back throughthe Earth’s atmosphere.
1507 01:53:10 The heat is simply too overpowering.. andmight function the automatic control system...
1508 01:53:41 You're going to usefly-by-wire for reentry.
1509 01:53:45 You’ll need to maintain a zero angle.Over. Over?
1510 01:53:47 Roger. I'm on fly-by-wire,back-it up with manual. Over.
1511 01:53:52 Keep talking to him.
1512 01:53:53 Roger. The weather in the recovery area:3 foot waves, 10 miles visibility.
1513 01:54:00 Can't get'm.Are you are getting out now?
1514 01:54:02 He’s crossing thecommunication black-out zone.
1515 01:54:07 There’s a real fireball outside,and it's getting too hot here!
1516 01:54:53 Friendship 7.Do you copy? Over.
1517 01:55:00 Again.
1518 01:55:01 Friendship 7.Do you copy? Over.
1519 01:55:18 Friendship 7. Do you copy? Over.
1520 01:55:33 Loud and clear, Capcom.
1521 01:55:35 Roger that.How are you doing?
1522 01:55:40 My condition is good.But that was a real fireball, boy
1523 01:55:42 Roger that.Let’s get you all the way home.
1524 01:55:45 Roger that.Here’s hoping these landing coords still hold.
1525 01:55:48 Approaching 16.11984.
1526 01:55:53 - Roger that!- Approaching -165.2356. In 3, 2, 1.
1527 01:56:01 Engaging chutes.
1528 01:56:05 Beautiful chutes.How do I look, Capcom?
1529 01:56:08 Your Go/No Go is good.Landing coordinates are spot on, 7.
1530 01:56:13 Roger that, Capcom.
1531 01:56:16 I've Always wanted to swim inthe Bahamas. Over.
1532 01:56:23 John Glenn has splashed-down,and is being recovered.
1533 01:56:29 John Glenn has splashed-down safely.and is being recovered by US Navy.
1534 01:56:39 Katherine!
1535 01:56:45 - Nice work.- You too, Mr. Harrison.
1536 01:56:50 So..
1537 01:56:53 You think we will get to the moon?
1538 01:56:57 We're already there, sir.
1539 01:57:15 John Glenn successfully completed three ofa scheduled seven orbit flight.
1540 01:57:23 His Friendship 7 Mission turned the tide inthe space race, propelling NASA to the moon
