Ms. Coleman...
23
00:01:31,560 --> 00:01:34,723
why don't you solve
the equation on the board?
24
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:43,204
MS. SUMNER:
We took up a collection
25
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:44,691
amongst the teachers and such.
26
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:45,841

27
00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:48,127

to help get you settled in.

That's more than kind,
Ms. Sumner.
29
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:04,776
YOUNG KATHERINE:
If the product of two terms
30
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,882
is zero then common sense says
31
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:10,129
at least one of the two terms
has to be zero to start with.
32
00:02:10,280 --> 00:02:13,204
So if you move all the
terms over to one side,
33
00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:15,402
you can put the quadratics
into a form
34
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:16,720
that can be factored...
35
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:18,484
allowing that side
of the equation
36
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:19,561
to equal zero.
37
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:21,856
Once you've done that,
it's pretty straightforward
38
00:02:21,880 --> 00:02:22,881
from there.

The President is demanding
an immediate response.
184
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:13,530
No more delay.
Alan Shepard, John Glenn,
185
00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:14,776
your uncle Bob,
it doesn't matter.
186
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:15,881
Get us up there, Harrison.
187
00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:18,247
We can't justify a space program
188
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:20,687
that doesn't put
anything in space.

the administrator?

00:09:27,560 --> 00:09:28,561
Hmm?
193
00:09:28,800 --> 00:09:30,882
No, he didn't look
enlightened to me.
194
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:33,004
He look enlightened to you, Sam?
195
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:34,241
Not particularly.
196
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:35,481
And just so you know,
197
00:09:35,560 --> 00:09:37,136
he's not wrong about
what he said in there.
198
00:09:37,160 --> 00:09:38,571
You know that, right?
199
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:40,444
Because now that
they can get up there,
200
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:41,681
a bomb will follow.

out of the east group.

still considering me

Well, the official word is no.

supervisor for the colored group.
271
00:12:19,560 --> 00:12:20,891

00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:22,530
I don't know why.
273
00:12:22,720 --> 00:12:24,210
I didn't ask why.

00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:51,081
AL: I get that.
362
00:17:51,840 --> 00:17:54,684
So, what do we do with our
million dollar fan, Karl?
363
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:57,121
Turn it down?
No, Al. I don't think...
364
00:17:57,600 --> 00:17:58,681
It was a joke.
365
00:18:00,120 --> 00:18:01,929
Paul, if the heat shield
comes off...
366
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:03,760
what do you think happens
to our astronaut?
367
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:04,841
I know.
368
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:08,080
So we're gonna come up
with a solve, right?
369
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:09,320
Yes, sir.
We're working on it.
370
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:11,689
Ruth, what's the status
on that computer?
371
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:13,842
She's right behind you,
Mr. Harrison.
372
00:18:18,960 --> 00:18:21,361
Does she handle
Analytic Geometry?
373
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:24,410
Absolutely.
And she speaks.
374
00:18:24,560 --> 00:18:25,800
Yes, sir. I do.
375
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:28,570
Which one?
Both.
376
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,210

00:18:32,320 --> 00:18:34,448

378
00:18:37,560 --> 00:18:38,561
You think you...
379
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:41,056
You think you can find me
the Frenet frame
380
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:42,081
for this data?
381
00:18:42,240 --> 00:18:43,526
Using the Gram-Schmidt...
382
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:45,688
Orthogonalization algorithm.
Yes, sir.
383
00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:48,491
I prefer it over
Euclidean coordinates.
384
00:18:51,720 --> 00:18:53,051
Okay, good.
385
00:18:54,120 --> 00:18:56,120
Good, then I'm gonna need
it by the end of the day.
386
00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:57,286
Yes.
387
00:18:57,440 --> 00:18:58,601
I'm also gonna ask you
388
00:18:58,680 --> 00:18:59,761
to check
Mr. Stafford's math
389
00:18:59,920 --> 00:19:01,285
as well as others' on this floor
390
00:19:01,360 --> 00:19:02,441
from time to time.
391
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:03,601
I can handle that, Al.
392
00:19:03,760 --> 00:19:05,649
I'm sure you can, Paul.
I'm sure they all can.
393
00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:07,290
But if that were the case
394
00:19:07,440 --> 00:19:08,976
shingles wouldn't be flying
off the heat shield,
395
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:10,001
now would they?
396
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:13,889
Excuse me, could I have
everyone's attention
397
00:19:13,960 --> 00:19:15,041
for a moment?
398
00:19:17,160 --> 00:19:18,650
Thank you.
399
00:19:19,480 --> 00:19:20,811
Just to be clear...
400
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:23,850
in 14 days, the Mercury Seven
will be here for training.
401
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,844
And I have no doubt in my mind
that they're going to be
402
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,843
asking us questions
about our work.
403
00:19:29,720 --> 00:19:31,131
I think that's pretty reasonable
404
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,248
given we're putting a human
on top of a missile,
405
00:19:33,440 --> 00:19:34,441
shooting him into space,
406
00:19:34,600 --> 00:19:35,965
and it's never been done before.
407
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:37,041
(ALL LAUGH)
408
00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:38,840
Because it's never been done,
409
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:41,321
everything we do between now
and then is gonna matter.
410
00:19:42,960 --> 00:19:44,564
It's gonna matter
to their wives...
411
00:19:45,760 --> 00:19:47,285
to their children.
412
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:50,080
I believe it's gonna matter
to the whole damn country.
413
00:19:51,560 --> 00:19:55,121

will be as advertised.

No, sir.
418
00:20:04,360 --> 00:20:06,283

an amen, damn it.

where your bathroom is.

00:28:00,160 --> 00:28:01,816
You're better with the numbers
than anyone in there,
539
00:28:01,840 --> 00:28:02,920
Katherine, and you know it.
540
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:05,136
Just make that pencil move
as fast as your mind does...
541
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:06,650
you'll be fine.
542
00:28:06,800 --> 00:28:08,689
And you, have some respect.
543
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:10,490
Get your damn feet
off my dashboard.
544
00:28:10,560 --> 00:28:11,686
This isn't your living room.
545
00:28:16,040 --> 00:28:17,804
I sound like a supervisor,
don't I?
546
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,530
A mean old salty one.
547
00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,523
Riddled with authority,
no question.
548
00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:22,807

549
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,764
You don't mess
with Mrs. Vaughan.
550
00:28:26,040 --> 00:28:27,451
Turn that music up.

DOROTHY: Good night,
Katherine.
553
00:28:45,240 --> 00:28:46,241
MARY: Bye, Kat.
554
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:47,321
Good night, ladies.
555
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:48,720
See you in the morning.
MARY: Bye.
556
00:28:57,560 --> 00:28:58,561
MRS. COLEMAN: Hey, baby.
557
00:28:58,720 --> 00:28:59,801
Hello, Mama.
558
00:29:00,400 --> 00:29:03,131
I was fixing to call
the National Guard.
559
00:29:04,280 --> 00:29:07,921
Sorry, Mama.
New assignment.
560
00:29:08,080 --> 00:29:09,889
Space Task Group.
561
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,042
Oh, my word.
That sounds important.
562
00:29:12,200 --> 00:29:13,884
It's a promotion?
563
00:29:14,200 --> 00:29:16,885
(CHUCKLES) It might be
a slight promotion.
564
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,011
But you want the job, right?
565
00:29:20,920 --> 00:29:22,490
I think so.
566
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:24,404
It's a challenge, but...
567
00:29:24,520 --> 00:29:26,648
It's nothing you
can't handle, Katherine.
568
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:30,250
Thank you, Mama.
569
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:31,361
(CHUCKLES)
570
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:32,921
Are they asleep yet?
571
00:29:33,120 --> 00:29:34,724
They're pretending to be.
572
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,042
Is to look: What are you doing?
CONSTANCE: I don't...
573
00:29:37,200 --> 00:29:38,884
They're not pretending
well enough.
574
00:29:38,960 --> 00:29:39,961
Is to look: Constance!
575
00:29:40,040 --> 00:29:41,929
Thank you, Mama.
Love you.
576
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:43,445
This is my bed.
No.
577
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:44,521
Get off!
578
00:29:44,600 --> 00:29:46,011
Go back to yours!
I'm oldest! No.
579
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:47,376
JOYLETTE: What are you doing?
CONSTANCE: Get off!
580
00:29:47,400 --> 00:29:48,640
What are you doing?
581
00:29:48,800 --> 00:29:51,371
It's not fair how Joylette
gets to sleep by herself
582
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:53,210
because she's the oldest.
583
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:54,805
Yes, it is fair.
No, it's not.
584
00:29:54,960 --> 00:29:56,456
JOYLETTE: Yes, it is.
CONSTANCE: Nuh-uh.
585
00:29:56,480 --> 00:29:58,721
Constance, Kathy, sit.
586
00:30:02,880 --> 00:30:05,042
Now, I understand...
587
00:30:05,240 --> 00:30:07,925
you want to be grown
and have your own space.
588
00:30:08,800 --> 00:30:10,768
So, whoever sleeps in that bed,
589
00:30:10,880 --> 00:30:12,484
in Joylette's place...
590
00:30:12,640 --> 00:30:14,404
will also do the dishes...
591
00:30:14,560 --> 00:30:16,324
take out the trash...
592
00:30:16,480 --> 00:30:18,448
and do all of Joylette's chores.
593
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,441
That's okay. Never mind.
594
00:30:21,600 --> 00:30:23,329
Yeah, she's not so
terrible to share with.
595
00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:24,401
(CHUCKLES)
596
00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:26,680
Okay.
597
00:30:26,760 --> 00:30:28,171
Then don't let me come home
598
00:30:28,240 --> 00:30:30,288
and find you like
this again, you hear me?
599
00:30:30,440 --> 00:30:32,920
You're supposed to been
asleep a long time ago.
600
00:30:33,080 --> 00:30:34,605
We just wanted to say goodnight.
601
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:37,331
You've been gone for 300 hours.
602
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:41,648
I know. I work a
full-time job now.
603
00:30:41,800 --> 00:30:43,325
You all know that.
604
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,090
I have to be Mommy and Daddy.
605
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,522
I miss your father
just as much as anyone.
606
00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,487
He's with the angels.
607
00:30:57,640 --> 00:30:59,608
Yes, he's with all the angels.
608
00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:01,444
And he's watching over us.
609
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:03,887
Every minute, okay?
610
00:31:04,040 --> 00:31:06,441
That's why we have to be strong.
611
00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:07,521
All right?
612
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:08,965
Yes, Mama.
Yes, Mama.

00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:10,485

Yes, baby?
616

Are the Russians fixin'
to attack us?
617
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:17,801
Where'd you get that from?
618
00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,440

All scrunched up.
620
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,048
Okay, baby,
that's called a drill.
621
00:31:24,200 --> 00:31:25,690
It means, uh...
622
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:27,330
you practice safety
623

just in case something happens.
624
00:31:32,400 --> 00:31:35,244
Truth is, we don't know
what they're doing up there.
625
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:36,890
You going to space, too?
626
00:31:37,080 --> 00:31:38,491
No, baby.
627
00:31:38,640 --> 00:31:41,803
But I'm going to do what I can
628
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:45,004
to help those brave men
get there. Yes, I am.
629
00:31:45,160 --> 00:31:48,004
You could fly up to space
if you wanted to, Mama.
630
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:49,650
You could be an astronaut.
631
00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:51,729
Did you draw this?
Yes, Mama.
632
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:55,042

Oh, child.
718
00:35:24,320 --> 00:35:26,163
You are all teeth right now.
I am not.
719
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:28,600
(MOUTHING)
Come over here.
720
00:35:29,040 --> 00:35:30,080
DOROTHY: He's coming over.
721
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:31,576
KATHERINE: Now, why would
he be doing that?
722
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:33,280
'Cause Mary's waving at him.
KATHERINE: No!
723
00:35:33,400 --> 00:35:35,096
Ladies, I'm not ready. It's too late.
Fix your hair.
724
00:35:35,120 --> 00:35:36,121
Hello, Colonel.
725
00:35:37,200 --> 00:35:38,406
I'm Dorothy Vaughan.
726
00:35:38,560 --> 00:35:40,696
That's Mary Jackson. I believe
you met her husband, Levi.
727
00:35:40,720 --> 00:35:42,245
Yes, ma'am.
Good to meet y'all.
728
00:35:42,400 --> 00:35:43,765
And Mrs. Katherine Goble.
729
00:35:43,920 --> 00:35:45,729
She's not married.
She's a widow...
730
00:35:45,880 --> 00:35:48,087
with three beautiful
little girls.
731
00:35:48,240 --> 00:35:49,241
So well behaved.
732
00:35:49,400 --> 00:35:51,562
Angels on earth is what
we like to call them.
733
00:35:51,720 --> 00:35:53,404
Dorothy, slice of pie?
734
00:35:53,560 --> 00:35:55,085
I'd love one.
735
00:35:55,240 --> 00:35:56,730
Excuse me.
736
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:58,056
You already have
a slice of pie...
737
00:35:58,080 --> 00:35:59,081
Uh-huh.
738
00:36:02,760 --> 00:36:05,411
I was just, uh, fixing my
three babies some plates...
739
00:36:05,600 --> 00:36:06,806
Let me help you.
740
00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:09,000
Sure.
741
00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,162
Fruit salad.
Mmm-hmm.
742
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:15,530
Pastor mentioned you're
a computer at NASA.
743
00:36:15,600 --> 00:36:16,600
Yes.
744
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:18,005
What's that entail?
745
00:36:18,600 --> 00:36:19,601
Oh.
746
00:36:19,920 --> 00:36:21,922
We calculate
the mathematics necessary
747
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:24,651
to enable launch and landing
for the space program.
748
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:27,321
(LAUGHING) That's
pretty heady stuff.
749
00:36:27,480 --> 00:36:28,527
Yes, it is.
750
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:30,409
They let women
handle that sort of...
751
00:36:30,480 --> 00:36:31,481
Uh...
752
00:36:33,600 --> 00:36:36,001
That's not what I mean.
753
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:37,491
What do you mean?
754
00:36:40,360 --> 00:36:43,603
I'm just surprised
that something so...
755
00:36:45,440 --> 00:36:46,726
taxing...
Mmm-hmm.
756
00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:48,325
Mr. Johnson.
757
00:36:49,440 --> 00:36:51,647
If I were you, I'd quit
talking right now.
758
00:36:51,800 --> 00:36:53,040
I didn't mean no disrespect.
759
00:36:54,280 --> 00:36:55,566
I will have you know
760
00:36:55,720 --> 00:36:57,802
I was the first
Negro female student
761
00:36:57,960 --> 00:37:00,167
at West Virginia University
Graduate School.
762
00:37:00,880 --> 00:37:02,120
On any given day...
763
00:37:02,320 --> 00:37:04,402
I analyze the manometer levels
764
00:37:04,480 --> 00:37:06,960
for air displacement,
friction, and velocity
765
00:37:07,160 --> 00:37:09,606
and compute
over 10,000 calculations
766
00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,409
by cosine, square root...
767
00:37:11,560 --> 00:37:13,608
and, lately, analytic geometry.
768
00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:14,681
By hand.
769
00:37:15,200 --> 00:37:17,771
There are 20 bright,
highly capable
770
00:37:17,880 --> 00:37:19,689
Negro women
in the West Computing Group.
771
00:37:19,880 --> 00:37:22,326
And we're proud to be doing
our part for the country.
772
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:24,161
So, yes.
773
00:37:24,320 --> 00:37:26,721
They let women do some things
at NASA, Mr. Johnson.
774
00:37:27,400 --> 00:37:29,687
And it's not because
we wear skirts.
775
00:37:30,240 --> 00:37:32,242
It's because we wear glasses.
776
00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:34,890
Have a good day.
777
00:37:38,520 --> 00:37:40,602
(BAND PLAYING)
(ALL APPLAUDING)
778
00:37:48,920 --> 00:37:50,206
Scott, welcome to Langley.
779
00:37:51,560 --> 00:37:52,686
Welcome to Langley.
Welcome.
780
00:37:53,520 --> 00:37:55,204
Good to have
you here, gentlemen.
781
00:38:04,280 --> 00:38:05,566
Thank you.
782
00:38:05,760 --> 00:38:08,411
That's Alan Shepard,
U.S. Navy pilot.
783
00:38:08,560 --> 00:38:10,403
He could be the
first man in space.
784
00:38:10,600 --> 00:38:13,251
And that's Scott Carpenter
and Walter Schirra...
785
00:38:13,400 --> 00:38:14,970
also Navy pilots.
786
00:38:15,120 --> 00:38:17,885
All under 5' 11", 180 pounds.
787
00:38:18,040 --> 00:38:19,644
IQ's over 130.
Mmm.
788
00:38:19,800 --> 00:38:21,723
And handsome must be
a requirement too.
789
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:24,611
How could you possibly be
ogling these white men?
790
00:38:24,760 --> 00:38:25,761
It's equal rights.
791
00:38:25,880 --> 00:38:27,882
I have the right to see
fine in every color.
792
00:38:28,880 --> 00:38:32,202
And that's John Glenn. He's
the only Marine Corps pilot.
793
00:38:32,760 --> 00:38:34,888
Gentlemen, if we may,
much to see around here.
794
00:38:35,080 --> 00:38:36,960
Well, heck, we haven't
shaken all the hands yet.
795
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:38,640
We have a fairly tight
itinerary, Colonel.
796
00:38:38,720 --> 00:38:39,721
Ruth, he's fine.
797
00:38:39,920 --> 00:38:41,216
He's coming this way.
Look straight ahead.
798
00:38:41,240 --> 00:38:42,241
I'm looking right at him.
799
00:38:42,400 --> 00:38:45,404
Ladies, I didn't wanna run
off without saying hello.
800
00:38:45,560 --> 00:38:47,085
Seem to be in a big
rush around here.
801
00:38:47,240 --> 00:38:49,163
The Russians certainly
aren't slowing down any.
802
00:38:49,320 --> 00:38:50,924
They can't build
a damn refrigerator.
803
00:38:51,000 --> 00:38:52,376
How the heck did they
beat us into space?
804
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:53,811
(ALL LAUGHING)
805
00:38:53,920 --> 00:38:55,216
And what do you ladies do
for NASA?
806
00:38:55,240 --> 00:38:57,811
Calculate your trajectories.
Launch and landing.
807
00:38:57,920 --> 00:38:58,976
You can't get anywhere
without the numbers.
808
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:00,001
No, sir.
809
00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:03,968
Mary Jackson, Mr. Glenn.
Engineering.
810
00:39:04,120 --> 00:39:05,576
And I'm proud as the devil
to be working with you.
811
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:06,761
Thank you, Mary.
812
00:39:06,840 --> 00:39:07,841
John.
813
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:10,770
John, let's take it inside.
Yes, sir.
814
00:39:10,920 --> 00:39:12,570
Guys.
Nice meeting you guys.
815
00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:14,200
Thank you, Colonel.
Good luck, sir.
816
00:39:14,280 --> 00:39:15,611
God bless you all.
817
00:39:16,600 --> 00:39:17,806
Thank you. That's wonderful.
818
00:39:18,600 --> 00:39:19,601
Thank you!
819
00:39:50,120 --> 00:39:51,531
Mr. Harrison wants you
to confirm
820
00:39:51,680 --> 00:39:54,331
launch and landing for the
Redstone rocket test.
821
00:39:59,320 --> 00:40:02,563
I cannot work on what
I cannot see, Mr. Stafford.
822
00:40:02,720 --> 00:40:03,801
It's illegible.
823
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:05,604
Those numbers have
already been confirmed
824
00:40:05,680 --> 00:40:07,569
by two engineers in this
department and myself.
825
00:40:07,640 --> 00:40:09,768
This is more or less
a dummy check.
826
00:40:46,360 --> 00:40:48,360
You have one, we make it two.
Make it double, okay?
827
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,209
We gotta get it.
Just make it happen.
828
00:40:53,040 --> 00:40:55,247
No one thought to measure
these things?
829
00:40:55,400 --> 00:40:57,050
I'm afraid not, sir.
830
00:40:58,440 --> 00:41:00,568
Well, would you like us to stop?
831
00:41:00,720 --> 00:41:02,722
No. No, just...
832
00:41:03,360 --> 00:41:05,806
Actually, no.
Just keep going.
833
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:09,451
In fact, use the big hammer.
834
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:10,601
Yes, sir.
835
00:41:10,720 --> 00:41:12,856
Come on, use the big hammer.
You heard the man. Let's go.
836
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:13,881
Watch out.
837
00:41:39,920 --> 00:41:40,921
Ma'am.
838
00:41:43,280 --> 00:41:45,521
Our runner can pick up
your work, Dorothy.
839
00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:48,164
You need to be working,
not walking.
840
00:41:48,320 --> 00:41:51,608
Oh, it's break time, ma'am.
No trouble at all.
841
00:41:51,760 --> 00:41:53,444
Since you made the trip...
842
00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:55,728
you can take that batch
over there.
843
00:41:56,480 --> 00:41:58,289
Sure thing, Mrs. Mitchell.
844
00:42:01,280 --> 00:42:03,487
You need something else?
Yes, ma'am.
845
00:42:04,320 --> 00:42:05,976
I was wondering if you know
what they're building
846
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:07,001
over in the tech wing.
847
00:42:09,880 --> 00:42:11,962
It's called an IBM.
848
00:42:12,120 --> 00:42:13,610
A mainframe machine.
849
00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:15,845
Apparently, it can
do our calculations
850
00:42:15,960 --> 00:42:17,000
in a fraction of the time.
851
00:42:17,680 --> 00:42:18,681
Hmm.
852
00:42:19,280 --> 00:42:20,964
I guess that's good for NASA.
853
00:42:24,360 --> 00:42:26,488
Hurry on, now. Best if
you do it in one trip.
854
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:38,841
(GRUNTS)
855
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:45,241
Excuse me.
856
00:43:13,440 --> 00:43:14,441
Hi.
857
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:21,764
What are you looking at, Paul?
858
00:43:30,080 --> 00:43:31,525
Is that correct?
859
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:33,961
Yeah.
860
00:43:40,760 --> 00:43:41,807
Whose work is that?
861
00:43:44,040 --> 00:43:45,883
I said, whose work is that?
862
00:43:48,880 --> 00:43:50,484
Katherine Goble, sir.
863
00:43:54,360 --> 00:43:55,360
Hello.
Hi.
864
00:43:55,400 --> 00:43:56,456
PAUL: How did you know
the Redstone
865
00:43:56,480 --> 00:43:58,050
couldn't support orbital flight?
866
00:43:58,200 --> 00:43:59,376
That's classified information.
867
00:43:59,400 --> 00:44:00,401
It's top secret.
868
00:44:01,040 --> 00:44:03,247
It's no secret why the
Redstone tests keep failing.
869
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:04,890
It's fine
for sub-orbital flight
870
00:44:05,040 --> 00:44:07,088
but it can't handle
the weight of the capsule
871
00:44:07,240 --> 00:44:08,241
and push it into space.
872
00:44:08,880 --> 00:44:10,405
Numbers don't lie.
873
00:44:11,320 --> 00:44:13,322
And you figured
all that out with this?
874
00:44:15,080 --> 00:44:16,923
Half the data is redacted.
875
00:44:17,800 --> 00:44:21,168
But what's there tells a story
if you read between the lines.
876
00:44:21,320 --> 00:44:23,004
The distance from launch
to orbit, we know.
877
00:44:23,160 --> 00:44:24,366
Redstone mass, we know.
878
00:44:24,440 --> 00:44:26,408
Mercury capsule weight, we know.
879
00:44:26,600 --> 00:44:29,410
And the speeds are there
in the data.
880
00:44:29,600 --> 00:44:31,250
You did the math.
881
00:44:31,640 --> 00:44:32,641
Yes, sir.
882
00:44:33,440 --> 00:44:35,283
I looked beyond.
883
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:39,761
How do you know
about the Atlas rocket?
884
00:44:42,760 --> 00:44:44,762
That's not math.
885
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:46,001
That data is not here.
886
00:44:46,120 --> 00:44:47,804
Like you said, it's classified.
887
00:44:53,960 --> 00:44:55,769
I held it up to the light.
888
00:44:55,960 --> 00:44:57,291
You held it up to the light?
889
00:44:57,440 --> 00:44:58,521
Yes, sir.
890
00:45:03,800 --> 00:45:04,801
Well, there it is.
891
00:45:04,960 --> 00:45:05,961
Mmm-hmm.
892
00:45:07,280 --> 00:45:08,281
Atlas.
893
00:45:09,200 --> 00:45:10,281
What's your name?
894
00:45:10,440 --> 00:45:11,965

1082

The Soviet news agency
has announced
1083
00:53:37,960 --> 00:53:40,008
that Russian cosmonaut,
Yuri Gagarin,
1084
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:42,327
has become
the first man in space.
1085
00:53:42,480 --> 00:53:43,481
Gagarin completed
1086
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:44,880
one full orbit around the planet
1087
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,162

1090

behind the curve.

The Vostok-1 rocket...
1092
00:53:55,520 --> 00:53:58,808

Yuri Gagarin's 3KA capsule...
1093
00:53:58,960 --> 00:54:00,849

1094

at 7:55 UTC.

1096
00:54:07,160 --> 00:54:08,810
could survive

1097
00:54:09,200 --> 00:54:10,531
Gagarin was awarded
1098
00:54:10,680 --> 00:54:12,016

and a Gold Star...
1099
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:13,849

1105
00:54:23,000 --> 00:54:25,970

1106
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:27,884
for the Russian space program
1107
00:54:28,040 --> 00:54:30,281

1108
00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:32,362
in the race for space.
1109
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:34,363
I wanna thank everyone
for staying.
1110
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:37,682
I know it's late.
And after what I just saw,
1111
00:54:37,840 --> 00:54:40,491
I'm sure everyone's probably
anxious to just go home.
1112
00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:43,241
Before we do, I just
have to ask a question.
1113
00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:46,729
The same one
1114
00:54:46,840 --> 00:54:48,656
I've been asking myself
all the way over here...
1115
00:54:48,680 --> 00:54:49,727
which is...
1116
00:54:51,600 --> 00:54:53,090
How the hell did we find ourself
1117
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:55,089
in second place
in a two-man race?
1118
00:54:55,880 --> 00:54:56,881
Anybody?
1119
00:54:57,880 --> 00:54:58,881
Paul?
1120
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:01,880
And I think Glenn said it
pretty well.
1121
00:55:02,040 --> 00:55:03,120
They're just outworking us.
1122
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:05,441
The reason I have to think that
1123
00:55:05,600 --> 00:55:06,696
is because I refuse to believe
1124
00:55:06,720 --> 00:55:08,290
that the Russians
are smarter than us
1125
00:55:08,440 --> 00:55:09,965
or that they have
more technology,
1126
00:55:10,040 --> 00:55:11,565
or that they care more.
1127
00:55:13,280 --> 00:55:15,123
But I don't know.
Is that possible?
1128
00:55:16,360 --> 00:55:17,646
Is it possible that it actually
1129
00:55:17,720 --> 00:55:19,245
means more to them?
1130
00:55:20,760 --> 00:55:23,923
We're in the fight
of our lives, people.
1131
00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:26,401
We're not on some epic joy ride.
1132
00:55:26,560 --> 00:55:28,244
I just saw seven faces
1133
00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:30,403
who aren't sure
that we can get there.
1134
00:55:34,920 --> 00:55:36,729
This is our problem.
1135
00:55:37,560 --> 00:55:39,085
And so as of right now
1136
00:55:41,040 --> 00:55:43,056
there's only two things you
need to know going forward.
1137
00:55:43,080 --> 00:55:44,605
One is staying here,
working late,
1138
00:55:44,720 --> 00:55:45,960

01:12:36,880 --> 01:12:40,407
Sol have no choice
but to be the first.
1423
01:12:41,320 --> 01:12:43,163
Which I can't do
without you, sir.
1424
01:12:44,400 --> 01:12:45,400
Your Honor...
1425
01:12:45,440 --> 01:12:47,966
out of all the cases
you're gonna hear today...
1426
01:12:48,120 --> 01:12:50,646
which one is gonna matter
100 years from now?
1427
01:12:51,480 --> 01:12:54,245
Which one is gonna
make you the first?
1428
01:12:57,200 --> 01:12:58,201
Hmm.
1429
01:12:59,360 --> 01:13:00,361
(CHUCKLES)
1430
01:13:05,400 --> 01:13:07,084
Only the night classes...
1431
01:13:08,080 --> 01:13:09,525
Mrs. Jackson.
1432
01:13:13,560 --> 01:13:14,561
(YELLS)
1433
01:13:16,560 --> 01:13:19,086
Yes. yes, yes!
1434
01:13:19,240 --> 01:13:20,321
Yes!
1435
01:13:21,600 --> 01:13:24,080
Oh, my God.
I cannot believe.
1436
01:13:48,600 --> 01:13:49,656
How late did he say
he was gonna be?
1437
01:13:49,680 --> 01:13:51,576
KATHERINE: Excuse me. No
more than five minutes, sir.
1438
01:13:51,600 --> 01:13:53,090
Gus Grissom's coordinates.
1439
01:13:53,280 --> 01:13:56,204
Uh, I'd like to get a jump
on John Glenn's trajectory.
1440
01:13:57,640 --> 01:13:59,200
Do you have any idea
what you're asking?
1441
01:13:59,240 --> 01:14:02,449
An orbital launch with an Atlas
rocket is going to take time.
1442
01:14:02,640 --> 01:14:04,404
Is there a problem?
1443
01:14:05,640 --> 01:14:06,926
Mr. Harrison...
1444
01:14:07,760 --> 01:14:09,330
I was wondering.
1445
01:14:09,480 --> 01:14:11,289
Uh-huh. I've been
wondering my whole life,
1446
01:14:11,360 --> 01:14:13,010
so you just spit it out.
1447
01:14:13,160 --> 01:14:15,083
Well, sir...
1448
01:14:17,160 --> 01:14:20,562
I would like to get a jump
on John Glenn's trajectory.
1449
01:14:20,720 --> 01:14:21,776
This isn't about
plugging in numbers,
1450
01:14:21,800 --> 01:14:23,006
it's about inventing the math.
1451
01:14:23,160 --> 01:14:24,856
And I think you and I
talked about that, right?
1452
01:14:24,880 --> 01:14:25,881
It doesn't exist.
1453
01:14:26,040 --> 01:14:27,041
I can do it, sir.
1454
01:14:27,200 --> 01:14:28,645
Do you have any idea
how exacting
1455
01:14:28,720 --> 01:14:30,245
these calculations have to be?
1456
01:14:30,440 --> 01:14:32,841
It's like shooting a sawed-off
shotgun from a thousand feet
1457
01:14:32,960 --> 01:14:35,696
and getting that one BB through a
hole so tiny, you can't even see it.
1458
01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:36,736
Okay, let me see
what you've got.
1459
01:14:36,760 --> 01:14:37,841
I'm an excellent shot, sir.
1460
01:14:38,440 --> 01:14:40,488
How have the
Grissom numbers been?
1461
01:14:41,080 --> 01:14:42,570
They've been spot on.
1462
01:14:45,240 --> 01:14:46,480
Give Glenn's orbit a go.
1463
01:14:48,040 --> 01:14:49,696
But you run it all through
Stafford, you understand?
1464
01:14:49,720 --> 01:14:50,721
Yes, sir.
1465
01:14:51,280 --> 01:14:52,361
Thank you.
1466
01:14:56,560 --> 01:14:58,289
Computers don't author reports.
1467
01:15:05,240 --> 01:15:07,686
GUS: (OVER RADIO) CAPCOM,
this is Liberty Bell 7.
1468
01:15:07,760 --> 01:15:08,761
CAPCOM: Loud and clear.
1469
01:15:10,960 --> 01:15:12,849
GUS: Okay, it's a nice
ride up to now.
1470
01:15:13,000 --> 01:15:14,001
MAN: Roger.
1471
01:15:14,600 --> 01:15:16,728
PILOT: Liberty Bell 7,
this is Hook 1 approaching.
1472
01:15:16,800 --> 01:15:17,801
Ready to hook on. Over.
1473
01:15:17,960 --> 01:15:20,201
GUS: I read you loud
and clear. Over.
1474
01:15:21,120 --> 01:15:22,360
GUS: The hatch is blown,
CAPCOM.
1475
01:15:22,400 --> 01:15:25,609
NEWSCASTER: The Liberty Bell 7
capsule is taking on water.
1476
01:15:25,760 --> 01:15:27,683
Gus Grissom
is out of the capsule.
1477
01:15:27,840 --> 01:15:30,366
Rescuers are now going
to pull him
1478
01:15:30,440 --> 01:15:31,441
from the ocean waves.
1479
01:15:31,600 --> 01:15:35,685
Unfortunately, the Liberty
Bell 7 capsule is lost.
1480
01:15:35,880 --> 01:15:36,881
Mama.
1481
01:15:38,800 --> 01:15:39,801
I can't, I can't.
Mary.
1482
01:15:47,080 --> 01:15:48,136
SENATOR PATRICK: Mr. Harrison,
1483
01:15:48,160 --> 01:15:49,480
taxpayer money
sank into the ocean
1484
01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:50,806
along with your capsule.
1485
01:15:50,960 --> 01:15:51,961
So what makes you think
1486
01:15:52,040 --> 01:15:53,849
you can bring
John Glenn home safely?
1487
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:55,001
Let me say first...
1488
01:15:55,080 --> 01:15:56,480
discovery is never
just for the sake
1489
01:15:56,520 --> 01:15:57,560
of discovery, gentlemen...
1490
01:15:57,680 --> 01:15:59,762
but for the sake
of human survival.
1491
01:16:00,360 --> 01:16:02,647
And it will always
come with a risk.
1492
01:16:04,240 --> 01:16:06,322
Whoever gets there first
will make the rules.
1493
01:16:06,480 --> 01:16:08,482
That's been true
of every civilization.
1494
01:16:09,240 --> 01:16:10,651
And so, I think
the bigger question
1495
01:16:10,760 --> 01:16:12,250
for this body to consider is...
1496
01:16:12,400 --> 01:16:16,007
who do you want calling
the shots in space?
1497
01:16:16,720 --> 01:16:18,643
We have to know
what's out there, Senator.
1498
01:16:19,480 --> 01:16:20,891
We have to touch the stars,
1499
01:16:20,960 --> 01:16:23,281
if only to ensure
our own survival.
1500
01:16:23,440 --> 01:16:25,283
And only a man can do that.
1501
01:16:27,160 --> 01:16:28,571
We'll get John Glenn home safely
1502
01:16:28,640 --> 01:16:30,130
because we have to.
1503
01:16:31,120 --> 01:16:33,327
Because he has to tell us
what he saw.
1504
01:16:36,880 --> 01:16:38,882
The Redstone rocket
went straight up.
1505
01:16:39,560 --> 01:16:41,324
But the capsule
didn't have enough speed
1506
01:16:41,400 --> 01:16:42,920
to go into orbit,
so it came back down.
1507
01:16:43,800 --> 01:16:47,122
Essentially a triangle.
Earth, sub-orbit, Earth.
1508
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:48,884
That math was known.
1509
01:16:49,080 --> 01:16:51,560
That took Shepard, took Grissom.
1510
01:16:52,400 --> 01:16:53,925
That cannot take Glenn.
1511
01:16:54,880 --> 01:16:56,484
Now, the Atlas rocket...
1512
01:16:57,280 --> 01:16:59,089
that can push us into orbit.
1513
01:16:59,240 --> 01:17:02,369
Goes up, delivers the capsule
into an elliptical orbit.
1514
01:17:03,240 --> 01:17:04,969
Earth's gravity
keeps pulling at it
1515
01:17:05,120 --> 01:17:07,771
but it's going so fast,
it keeps missing the Earth.
1516
01:17:07,920 --> 01:17:09,684
That's how it stays in orbit.
1517
01:17:09,840 --> 01:17:12,127
Now, getting it back down...
1518
01:17:12,960 --> 01:17:14,564
that's the math we don't know.
1519
01:17:16,640 --> 01:17:17,641
Yes, Katherine.
1520
01:17:17,800 --> 01:17:20,485
So the capsule will spin
around the Earth forever
1521
01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:22,563
because there's nothing
to slow it down?
1522
01:17:23,280 --> 01:17:24,281
That's right.
1523
01:17:24,440 --> 01:17:27,410
Slowing it down at precisely
the right moment,
1524
01:17:27,560 --> 01:17:29,164
at precisely the right amount,
1525
01:17:29,320 --> 01:17:30,321
that's the task.
1526
01:17:33,480 --> 01:17:34,481
Yes, Katherine.
1527
01:17:34,640 --> 01:17:38,087
So it needs to move
from an elliptical orbit...
1528
01:17:39,600 --> 01:17:41,682
to a parabolic orbit.
1529
01:17:41,880 --> 01:17:42,881
Yes.
1530
01:17:43,720 --> 01:17:45,722
That's the "Go/No-go."
1531
01:17:45,880 --> 01:17:47,848
Now at this point,
it's a pin head.
1532
01:17:48,480 --> 01:17:50,005
We bring him in too soon...
1533
01:17:50,160 --> 01:17:51,810
He burns up on reentry.
1534
01:17:51,960 --> 01:17:53,200
That's right.
1535
01:17:53,360 --> 01:17:54,691
We bring him in too late...
1536
01:17:54,840 --> 01:17:56,444
he's pushed
out of Earth's gravity.
1537
01:17:56,600 --> 01:17:59,922
And any changes to mass,
weight, speed, time...
1538
01:18:00,080 --> 01:18:03,448
distance, friction,
or a puff of wind...
1539
01:18:04,360 --> 01:18:06,408
would alter the "Go/No-go."
1540
01:18:06,560 --> 01:18:09,530
And we start
our calculations over.
1541
01:18:09,920 --> 01:18:10,921
Yes.
1542
01:18:11,680 --> 01:18:16,447
So we need to be able to
choose this reentry point.
1543
01:18:16,600 --> 01:18:19,604
Now this "Go/No-go,"
this has to be exact.
1544
01:18:19,760 --> 01:18:20,807
Sam.
1545
01:18:21,440 --> 01:18:23,568
These are the latest
Redstone numbers
1546
01:18:23,640 --> 01:18:24,971
in current capsule data.
1547
01:18:25,120 --> 01:18:26,690
Obviously, we know
the launch spot.
1548
01:18:26,760 --> 01:18:27,761
Thanks.
1549
01:18:27,840 --> 01:18:29,604
A Pentagon briefing
should illuminate
1550
01:18:29,680 --> 01:18:31,409
where the Navy
needs the recovery zone.
1551
01:18:31,600 --> 01:18:33,443
Then we work backwards
from there.
1552
01:18:34,200 --> 01:18:37,727
And the rest is on us,
so let's get to work.
1553
01:18:38,440 --> 01:18:39,441
Uh, Mr. Stafford.
1554
01:18:39,760 --> 01:18:40,760
What, Katherine?
1555
01:18:40,800 --> 01:18:42,165
If I could attend the briefings,
1556
01:18:42,240 --> 01:18:44,402
I'd be more useful
to the project.
1557
01:18:44,560 --> 01:18:46,403
Pentagon briefings
are closed door.
1558
01:18:46,560 --> 01:18:49,404
Yes, but if we don't
have the information
1559
01:18:49,480 --> 01:18:50,811
of the changes...
1560
01:18:50,960 --> 01:18:51,961
we can't keep up.
1561
01:18:52,160 --> 01:18:53,456
I need those changes
as they occur.
1562
01:18:53,480 --> 01:18:54,640
As you said, it's a pin head.
1563
01:18:54,760 --> 01:18:56,524
Katherine, that's the job.
1564
01:18:56,680 --> 01:18:58,250
You asked for this assignment,
1565
01:18:58,320 --> 01:19:00,402
so just calculate
with what you have.
1566
01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:02,528
Or we'll find someone who can.
1567
01:19:09,240 --> 01:19:10,287
Okay.
1568
01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:24,929
Attagirl.
(CHUCKLES)
1569
01:19:25,520 --> 01:19:27,602
What the hell are you doing?
You can't be in here.
1570
01:19:27,760 --> 01:19:28,807
Who are you?
1571
01:19:28,960 --> 01:19:30,883
I'm with
the West Computing Group.
1572
01:19:32,120 --> 01:19:33,360
Dorothy Vaughan, sir.
1573
01:19:33,520 --> 01:19:35,249
This is a very delicate
piece of equipment.
1574
01:19:35,400 --> 01:19:37,176
I'm sorry, sir. I'm just
trying to be helpful.
1575
01:19:37,200 --> 01:19:39,441
BILL: Uh-huh.
Bill, we've got numbers.
1576
01:19:41,880 --> 01:19:43,530
What kind of numbers?
1577
01:19:47,640 --> 01:19:49,005
Well, I'll be.
1578
01:19:50,080 --> 01:19:51,161
What's your name again?
1579
01:19:52,080 --> 01:19:53,286
Dorothy Vaughan.
1580
01:19:54,480 --> 01:19:55,925
Dorothy Vaughan.
1581
01:20:03,200 --> 01:20:05,646
Sir, the parameters
for Friendship 7.
1582
01:20:06,040 --> 01:20:07,405
Oh, this is all moot.
1583
01:20:07,560 --> 01:20:09,403
We're altering the
window on the capsule.
1584
01:20:09,560 --> 01:20:11,050
When did this happen?
Six minutes ago.
1585
01:20:11,240 --> 01:20:12,651
The math is changing.
Start over.
1586
01:20:12,800 --> 01:20:16,088
Sir, if I could attend the
briefings, I could stay current...
1587
01:20:16,240 --> 01:20:17,730
Katherine, we have
been through this.
1588
01:20:17,880 --> 01:20:18,881
It is not possible.
1589
01:20:19,040 --> 01:20:20,616
There is no protocol
for women attending.
1590
01:20:20,640 --> 01:20:21,801
There's no protocol for a man
1591
01:20:21,920 --> 01:20:23,160
circling the Earth either, sir.
1592
01:20:23,200 --> 01:20:25,851
Okay. That is just
the way things are.
1593
01:21:00,080 --> 01:21:01,605
Colonel Glenn's
launch coordinates,
1594
01:21:01,680 --> 01:21:03,160
accounting for

author reports. Fix it.
1597
01:21:06,240 --> 01:21:08,368
Those are my calculations.
My name should be on it.
1598
01:21:08,520 --> 01:21:10,443
That is not the way this works.
1599
01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:12,967
Paul. What's
happening here?
1600
01:21:13,120 --> 01:21:15,282
Mr. Harrison, I would like
to attend today's briefing.
1601
01:21:15,440 --> 01:21:16,521
And why is that?
1602
01:21:16,720 --> 01:21:19,371
Sir, the data changes so fast.
The capsule changes.
1603
01:21:19,560 --> 01:21:20,971
The weight and the landing zones
1604
01:21:21,040 --> 01:21:22,565
are all changing, every day.
1605
01:21:22,720 --> 01:21:24,961
I do my work, you attend
these briefings,
1606
01:21:25,040 --> 01:21:26,041
I have to start over.
1607
01:21:26,600 --> 01:21:28,523
Colonel Glenn launches
in a few weeks.
1608
01:21:29,080 --> 01:21:30,600
We don't have the math
figured out yet.
1609
01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:33,090
Why is it she can't attend?
1610
01:21:33,280 --> 01:21:34,456
Because she doesn't
have clearance, Al.
1611
01:21:34,480 --> 01:21:35,925
I cannot do my work effectively
1612
01:21:36,120 --> 01:21:37,400
if I do not have all of the data
1613
01:21:37,440 --> 01:21:39,647
and all of the information
as soon as it's available.
1614
01:21:39,800 --> 01:21:41,456
I need to be in that room,
hearing what you hear.
1615
01:21:41,480 --> 01:21:43,164
Pentagon briefings
are not for civilians.
1616
01:21:43,240 --> 01:21:44,416
It requires
the highest clearance.
1617
01:21:44,440 --> 01:21:45,456
I feel like I'm the best person
1618
01:21:45,480 --> 01:21:46,640
to present my calculations...
1619
01:21:46,720 --> 01:21:48,720
You're not gonna let this go, are you?
No, I am not.
1620
01:21:48,760 --> 01:21:50,728
And she is a woman.
There is no protocol
1621
01:21:50,840 --> 01:21:51,936
for a woman
attending these meetings.
1622
01:21:51,960 --> 01:21:53,291
Okay, I get that part, Paul.
1623
01:21:56,320 --> 01:21:57,845
But within these walls,
1624
01:21:58,840 --> 01:22:00,330

You, sir. You are the boss.
1626
01:22:02,160 --> 01:22:04,811
You just have
to act like one. Sir.
1627
01:22:14,160 --> 01:22:15,321

Her work is pertinent
to today's proceedings.

Come on.
1637
01:22:40,680 --> 01:22:41,886
Wanna get her a chair?
1638
01:22:43,720 --> 01:22:44,856
We have a
confirmed launch window...
1639

Get her a chair, please.
Yes, sir.
1640
01:22:46,280 --> 01:22:47,336
We have a
confirmed launch window
1641
01:22:47,360 --> 01:22:48,486
for Friendship 7.
1642
01:22:48,640 --> 01:22:49,801
Let's discuss a landing zone.
1643
01:22:50,360 --> 01:22:52,681
The Navy needs
a singular landing zone.
1644
01:22:52,840 --> 01:22:55,127
20 miles square is what we
can service for retrieval.
1645
01:22:55,320 --> 01:22:56,321
Outside of that
1646
01:22:56,480 --> 01:22:58,209
we risk the capsule's recovery.
1647
01:22:58,360 --> 01:23:00,647
We'd like three possible
recovery areas.
1648
01:23:00,800 --> 01:23:02,160
We can't cover
half the damn ocean.
1649

With all due respect,

delivers the capsule

01:23:19,880 --> 01:23:21,086
into low space orbit.
1656
01:23:24,680 --> 01:23:26,360
Well, that's one hell
of a speeding ticket.

1658
01:23:28,880 --> 01:23:29,880

So we have the vehicle's speed,

the launch window...
1661
01:23:32,720 --> 01:23:34,370
and for argument's sake,
the landing zone
1662
01:23:34,440 --> 01:23:35,726
is the Bahamas.
1663
01:23:35,880 --> 01:23:37,609
Should be enough
to figure the "Go/No-go"?
1664
01:23:37,760 --> 01:23:39,250
Yeah, in theory, sir.
1665
01:23:39,400 --> 01:23:41,004
We need to be past
theory at this point.
1666
01:23:41,200 --> 01:23:42,850
We'll be able to
calculate a "Go/No-go"
1667
01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:44,445
with that information.
1668

that's the Bahamas...

or 46.33 degrees.
1691

01:31:00,720 --> 01:31:01,721
Tonight, we discuss
1771
01:31:01,800 --> 01:31:04,963
Planck-Einstein
wavelength relationships.
1772
01:31:09,040 --> 01:31:10,166
Yes?
1773
01:31:11,720 --> 01:31:12,801
I'm Mary Jackson.
1774
01:31:12,960 --> 01:31:14,325
I'm enrolled.
1775
01:31:16,640 --> 01:31:18,642
Well, the curriculum
is not designed
1776
01:31:18,720 --> 01:31:19,881
for teaching a woman.
1777
01:31:20,560 --> 01:31:22,562
I imagine it's the same
as teaching a man.
1778
01:31:24,360 --> 01:31:26,328
I don't see a colored section.
1779
01:31:26,480 --> 01:31:28,244
Should I just take any seat?
1780
01:31:33,720 --> 01:31:34,846
Thank you.
1781
01:31:39,880 --> 01:31:41,484
Okay. Uh...

(CLEARS THROAT)
Planck-Einstein.
1783
01:31:45,200 --> 01:31:46,200
KATHERINE: The problem...
1784
01:31:46,240 --> 01:31:49,449
is when the capsule moves
from an elliptical orbit
1785
01:31:49,560 --> 01:31:51,085
to a parabolic orbit.
1786
01:31:51,840 --> 01:31:54,241
There's no mathematical
formula for that.
1787
01:31:54,440 --> 01:31:56,886
Because we can calculate
launch and landing...
1788
01:31:57,040 --> 01:31:58,405
but without this conversion
1789
01:31:58,560 --> 01:32:00,927
the capsule stays in orbit,
we can't bring it back home.
1790
01:32:03,280 --> 01:32:05,120
Maybe we've been thinking
about this all wrong.
1791
01:32:05,560 --> 01:32:06,561
PAUL: How's that?
1792
01:32:11,080 --> 01:32:12,730
Maybe it's not new math at all.
1793
01:32:14,760 --> 01:32:16,444
It could be old math.
1794
01:32:17,520 --> 01:32:19,727
Something that looks
at the problem numerically,
1795
01:32:19,800 --> 01:32:21,370
and not theoretically.
1796
01:32:21,520 --> 01:32:23,284
Math is always dependable.
1797
01:32:24,360 --> 01:32:25,646
For you it is.

Yes.
1800
01:32:35,960 --> 01:32:38,042
But that's ancient.
But it works.
1801
01:32:38,640 --> 01:32:40,324
It works numerically.
1802
01:33:16,520 --> 01:33:17,681
That's it.

You certainly
have a knack for it.

My father taught me a thing
or two about mechanics.
1817
01:34:27,560 --> 01:34:29,767
You know, I have a few
girls in the East Group
1818
01:34:29,920 --> 01:34:32,241
that have an interest
in learning more about it.

I called my mother

running backups here.

are reported go.
2122
01:48:28,640 --> 01:48:30,130
20 seconds to SECO.
2123
01:48:30,280 --> 01:48:32,203
COMMANDER: The trajectory
is still A-Okay.
2124
01:48:32,400 --> 01:48:33,447
Go for SECO.
2125
01:48:34,440 --> 01:48:37,091
JOHN: Roger that, CAPCOM.
Go for SE CO.
2126
01:48:41,720 --> 01:48:44,166
Zero G and I feel fine.
2127
01:48:44,600 --> 01:48:47,126
NEWSCASTER: John Glenn reports
everything looks good.
2128
01:48:47,920 --> 01:48:50,446
Oh, that view is tremendous!
2129
01:48:52,000 --> 01:48:53,968
MAN: Roger that, Friendship 7.
2130
01:48:58,960 --> 01:49:00,769
You are go for orbit.
2131
01:49:00,920 --> 01:49:02,410
Thank you, CAPCOM.
2132
01:49:07,600 --> 01:49:09,762
All right.
Ten and a half hours to go.
2133
01:49:09,920 --> 01:49:11,365
If we make seven round trips.
2134
01:49:12,800 --> 01:49:14,131
I could use a coffee.
2135
01:49:15,920 --> 01:49:17,968
NEWSCASTER: Well, as we
approach the end of the day
2136
01:49:18,080 --> 01:49:19,650
here on the Eastern Seaboard...
2137
01:49:19,800 --> 01:49:22,531
Colonel Glenn is just
beginning his third orbit...
2138
01:49:22,680 --> 01:49:25,206
three-quarters of the way
across the African continent.
2139
01:49:25,360 --> 01:49:26,964
We see he's currently
over Zanzibar...
2140
01:49:27,160 --> 01:49:29,640
which is the next
tracking station coming up.
2141
01:49:29,800 --> 01:49:31,962
Thankfully,
the Friendship 7 capsule is...
2142
01:49:40,800 --> 01:49:42,325
New assignment
came down the pike.
2143
01:49:45,840 --> 01:49:48,047
Always changing around here.
2144
01:49:48,200 --> 01:49:50,123
It's hard to keep up.
2145
01:49:52,800 --> 01:49:54,176
Seems like they're going
to need a permanent team
2146
01:49:54,200 --> 01:49:56,043
to feed that IBM.
2147
01:49:56,200 --> 01:49:57,645
How big of a team?
2148
01:49:57,800 --> 01:49:59,723
Thirty, to start.
2149
01:50:02,480 --> 01:50:04,721
Thank you for the information,
Mrs. Mitchell.
2150
01:50:06,360 --> 01:50:09,330
You're quite welcome,
Mrs. Vaughan.
2151
01:50:23,640 --> 01:50:24,687
Hmm.
2152
01:50:54,280 --> 01:50:55,725
We have a warning light.
2153
01:50:56,400 --> 01:50:58,368
CAPCOM 7,
I have a warning light.
2154
01:50:58,520 --> 01:50:59,681
Stand by, Seven.
2155
01:51:00,400 --> 01:51:02,243
Sir, we have a warning light.
2156
01:51:05,920 --> 01:51:07,285
What are we looking at, Paul?
2157
01:51:07,440 --> 01:51:08,487
Uh...
2158
01:51:08,560 --> 01:51:10,608
The heat shield
may have come loose.
2159
01:51:10,760 --> 01:51:12,842
Seven, will you confirm
the landing bag
2160
01:51:12,920 --> 01:51:13,921
is in the off position?
2161
01:51:14,960 --> 01:51:16,450
Affirmative, CAPCOM.
2162
01:51:16,600 --> 01:51:17,931
Al, we need to get him down now.
2163
01:51:18,080 --> 01:51:19,809
He could burn up
on re-entry.
2164
01:51:28,760 --> 01:51:30,603
Come on, babies.
2165
01:51:30,760 --> 01:51:31,886
There is a man in space.
2166
01:51:32,080 --> 01:51:33,576
And we don't want to miss it,
so we gotta hurry.
2167
01:51:33,600 --> 01:51:35,284
MAN: Something's wrong
with Glenn!
2168
01:51:35,440 --> 01:51:36,800
What's going on?
Come on, let's go.
2169
01:51:36,880 --> 01:51:39,087
Come on. Hurry up, now.
Y'all follow me.
2170
01:51:40,400 --> 01:51:42,641
We just learned
that the Friendship 7...
2171
01:51:42,840 --> 01:51:45,810
is in danger of losing
its heat shield.
2172
01:51:45,960 --> 01:51:48,008
Have you heard
any banging noises...
2173
01:51:48,160 --> 01:51:49,810
or anything of this type
at higher rates?
2174
01:51:49,960 --> 01:51:51,325
That is a negative, CAPCOM.
2175
01:51:51,480 --> 01:51:53,289
This poses a grave danger
to the mission.
2176
01:51:53,440 --> 01:51:57,240
Tell them not to jettison
the retro-package.
2177
01:51:57,760 --> 01:51:58,816
MAN: (ON RADIO)
NASA is confirming there is
2178
01:51:58,840 --> 01:52:00,001
some sort of malfunction
2179
01:52:00,120 --> 01:52:01,256
with the capsule's
heat shield...
2180
01:52:01,280 --> 01:52:03,601
and it may not stay in place.
2181
01:52:03,800 --> 01:52:05,768
If the heat shield's loose...
2182
01:52:05,920 --> 01:52:09,288
the retro-package straps
might hold it in place.
2183
01:52:09,440 --> 01:52:10,487
Will that work?
2184
01:52:10,640 --> 01:52:12,324
It will work.
2185
01:52:12,480 --> 01:52:15,051
It will hold it until he
reaches the "Go/No-go" point.
2186
01:52:15,200 --> 01:52:16,201
It will work.
2187
01:52:16,320 --> 01:52:20,370
Al, he has
to override the .05G.
2188
01:52:20,520 --> 01:52:21,521
Do it.
2189
01:52:21,680 --> 01:52:23,045
Friendship 7...
2190
01:52:23,200 --> 01:52:26,044
we're recommending
that the retro-package not...
2191
01:52:26,200 --> 01:52:28,282
I repeat, not be jettisoned.
2192
01:52:28,480 --> 01:52:32,326
This means that you will have
to override the .05G switch.
2193
01:52:32,480 --> 01:52:33,481
Roger.
2194
01:52:33,680 --> 01:52:36,001
Is there a reason
for this? Over.
2195
01:52:36,160 --> 01:52:37,161
Stand by, Seven.
2196
01:52:42,520 --> 01:52:43,681
Not at this time, Seven.
2197
01:52:45,040 --> 01:52:46,485
Roger that, Command.
2198
01:52:46,560 --> 01:52:49,166
I will make
a manual .05G entry...
2199
01:52:49,360 --> 01:52:51,681
and bring the scope in. Over.
2200
01:52:55,320 --> 01:52:56,526
He knows.
2201
01:53:04,200 --> 01:53:05,840
MAN: (OVER RADIO)
Without a heat shield...
2202
01:53:05,920 --> 01:53:07,760
there is no way that
Colonel Glenn can get back
2203
01:53:07,840 --> 01:53:09,016
through the Earth's atmosphere.
2204
01:53:09,040 --> 01:53:10,724
The heat is simply
too overpowering.
2205
01:53:11,400 --> 01:53:13,562
A malfunction in the automatic
control system...
2206
01:53:13,760 --> 01:53:17,003
is causing the spacecraft
to yaw in a skid-like fashion.
2207
01:53:17,160 --> 01:53:18,844
Thus putting the Friendship 7's
2208
01:53:18,920 --> 01:53:21,207
re-entry point in jeopardy.
2209
01:53:21,360 --> 01:53:24,728
Even now, Colonel Glenn is streaking
toward the United States.
2210
01:53:24,880 --> 01:53:27,360
And he must begin
the retro-sequence
2211
01:53:27,440 --> 01:53:29,283
300 miles west of California...
2212
01:53:29,440 --> 01:53:31,090
if he's to reenter
the atmosphere
2213
01:53:31,240 --> 01:53:32,401
at the designated point...
2214
01:53:32,560 --> 01:53:34,449
and land in the recovery area
2215
01:53:34,560 --> 01:53:37,404
700 miles south
and east of Florida.
2216
01:53:37,560 --> 01:53:40,211
Stay tuned to this station
for further details.
2217
01:53:40,360 --> 01:53:42,522
COMMANDER: You're going to be
using fly-by-wire
2218
01:53:42,600 --> 01:53:43,601
for re-entry.
2219
01:53:43,760 --> 01:53:46,445
You'll need to maintain
a zero angle, over.
2220
01:53:46,600 --> 01:53:48,728
Roger. I'm on fly-by-wire.
2221
01:53:48,920 --> 01:53:50,922
Back it up with manual. Over.
2222
01:53:51,080 --> 01:53:52,241
Keep talking to him.
2223
01:53:52,400 --> 01:53:53,401

three foot waves,
10 miles visibility.

CAPCOM, you're going out.
2227
01:54:01,080 --> 01:54:02,923
He's crossing the
communication blackout zone.
2228
01:54:06,040 --> 01:54:07,451
There's a real fireball outside.
2229
01:54:07,560 --> 01:54:08,880
It's getting
a little hot in here.

2235
01:54:59,320 --> 01:55:00,321
Again.
2236
01:55:00,480 --> 01:55:02,482

Let's get you all the way home.

JOHN: Roger that.
2245
01:55:45,400 --> 01:55:47,641
Here's hoping these landing
coordinates still hold.
2246
01:55:47,800 --> 01:55:52,203
Approaching 16.11984.

Beautiful chute!

How are we looking, CAPCOM?
2253
01:56:07,520 --> 01:56:09,363
Your “Go/No-go" is good.
2254
01:56:09,560 --> 01:56:11,688
Landing coordinates
are spot on, 7.
