So my old school was named and built after Katherine Johnson and I pretty much spent 5th-8th grade learning about her. When she died it lowkey shook the school. None of us knew her personally but her story and legacy was something a lot of us wanted to achieve or looked up to. Especially being a predominantly black and brown campus. Thanks for the reaction today guys!

i really appreciate this channel because you guys aren’t afraid to watch movies that arent about you. many reaction channels that are run by straight white men dont watch these types of movies and i dont know why. especially movies where the main character is a woman. they either dont watch it, completely misunderstand her character, sexualize every thing she does, or completely cut out all the important scenes in the youtube cut. and i really appreciate this channel cuz you can watch a movie where the main is a woman, a poc, or a queer person and still have a genuine reaction to the movie without minimizing its importance. idk ive just been thinking about this for a while and thought this was a good opportunity to say this.

"I like her numbers." - John Glenn. I don't see that as a one-liner. I see it as a white man in a room full of white men - and here is this Black woman - the only woman, the only minority - and he is of course super impressed with her skills but also recognizes the position she's probably in -he can FEEL it - and so he puts himself out there, in front, as a leader, with his words, to support her. John Glenn really was like that - and trusted her calculations so completely he requested her specifically to double check the numbers on launch day (as seen later in the film). So I feel like him making that little joke in a charming way was a way of using his position to support her. If anyone was going to doubt/dismiss her, they'd have to come through him., It's a very SOFT use of his obvious power. imo.

The term computers just means "to compute (numbers)". The women computed numbers, hence they were computers. Since machines came along to compute numbers, but faster, they just also called them computers. So computers as we know them, are named after the human computers they replaced.

As a general comment on the “white saviour” trope - while it’s true the event didn’t happen to Ms Johnson, it *did* however happen to her peers. Also, bearing in mind the time the movie is set in, it’s also important to acknowledge that these “white saviour” moments did happen - and were just as important and valuable to the Black community and to history. White people taking actions against segregation was in fact part of history (eventually) and very important for the time.

Grissom did die, but not during his Mercury flight. He and his crew were tragically killed during a test on the launch pad (for the first manned Apollo mission) when a fire sparked in their capsule and they couldnt get out before asphyxiating (the door was too complicated to open quickly-- it was redesigned before the next Apollo flight). The crew with the teacher that you mentioned wasnt part of the Apollo program, that was the Challenger disaster, which was part of the space shuttle program (they went: Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, shuttle). Apollo 11 was the first moon landing.

22:01 Getting life insurance for the Apollo 11 crew was far too expensive, so a couple months before the launch, the crew signed hundreds of autographs. The autograph covers were postmarked in the post office on the days of important events - the day of the launch, the day of the moon landing. Then they were distributed to the families, so if they did not return from the mission, the families could sell the autographs.

Since then, April 12, 1961 was declared a holiday in the USSR (later in Russia and other post-Soviet countries) - Cosmonautics Day. Fun fact: he met with Queen Elizabeth II, and the Queen, contrary to etiquette, took a souvenir photo with him, citing the fact that he was not an ordinary, earthly person, but a heavenly one, and therefore there was no violation of etiquette.

The movie & film industry debunked the conspiracy because the technology to do a fake live continuous film broadcast for the 11 hours did not exist and wouldn’t exist for decades.

And a computer was a job position for a human who make mathematical calculations all day long. And then another computer would usually double check the work. And as far as going to the moon again, there's not much going on there to do. I think it's starting to pick up again, for future scientific and military goals of many nations. It's always going to be difficult to get there, but we coukd absolutely do it again if we wanted. And notice I said AGAIN, Mr Conspiracy lol. Enjoyed the show, guys.

Maybe fortunately, the part about Harrison, Katherine, and the bathrooms isn't true. In reality, Katherine just started using the unlabeled (taken as white) bathrooms without much fuss. In fact, Katherine said she didn't feel the segregation as much in NASA

While the movie is dramatized it was segregated when she first started working there. There was a whole African American computing section that was separate from the white. This is verified.

@47:57 - This ending sequence, where they hit you with the their accomplishments, always gets me right in the mid-throat region. And I've seen this a few time already now.

If you can check out Standing In The Shadows Of Motown. They are the Hidden Figures Of Music in the sense that they played on 100 Number One Motown Hits and never got the credit that they so richly deserved. Same thing with The Wrecking Crew who worked closely with Phil Spector.

If you like Mahershala Ali, I'd STRONGLY suggest you watch Green Book. Vigo Mortenson is in it too. It also is based on a true story and has strong racial undertones like this movie.

Kirsten Dunst also has a great cinematography. She has done so much more than what she's classically known more, I recommend all her movies !

I recently rewatched this movie and it was just as good. On a totally unrelated note, please consider watching the movie Bottoms. It's basically lesbian fight club and it's so funny.

The space stuff in the 1960s was three programs, one after the other: Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo. Mercury, which is what this movie is about, was the one that figured (ha!) all the basic stuff out and got the first Americans up. Then Gemini did a bunch of proof-of-concept experiments with two astronauts per mission. Then Apollo did the moon stuff. More questions you guys asked: Grissom did die, but he first flew on Mercury and Gemini. He died in the Apollo 1 fire, which happened during a test, on the ground, a month before the planned launch. Buzz was the second person to walk on the moon, about 15 minutes after Neil Armstrong's "One small step..." All the moon landings were Apollo. Six landings in total. Two people walking on the moon per mission (and the third dude remaining in moon orbit.) So, 12 people in total have walked on the moon. And the main reason we haven't gone back in 50 years is because it's freakin' expensive and there's no oil or Unobtainium on the moon it seems.

Absolute inspiration. Several years ago, I took my young daughter to our local museum with an exhibit about these women. Then we read about them and watched the movie. Then we got figurines of all three for her dresser. My daughter is white and things are better than they were for women of any color now, but these three amazing women have been continued inspiration to keep working and trying for your passions and talents. And it’s “ok” that math homework can be hard! 😉
