20. They're offering
a full scholarship.Copy !req
21. All you have to do
is get there.Copy !req
22. Ms. Coleman...Copy !req
23. why don't you solve
the equation on the board?Copy !req
24. We took up a collectionCopy !req
25. amongst the teachers and such.Copy !req
26. It's not a lot...Copy !req
27. but it's enough
to help get you settled in.Copy !req
28. That's more than kind,
Ms. Sumner.Copy !req
29. If the product of two termsCopy !req
30. is zero then common sense saysCopy !req
31. at least one of the two terms
has to be zero to start with.Copy !req
32. So if you move all the
terms over to one side,Copy !req
33. you can put the quadratics
into a formCopy !req
34. that can be factored...Copy !req
35. allowing that side
of the equationCopy !req
36. to equal zero.Copy !req
37. Once you've done that,
it's pretty straightforwardCopy !req
38. from there.Copy !req
39. In all my years
of teaching...Copy !req
40. I've never seen a mind like
the one your daughter has.Copy !req
41. Katherine!Copy !req
42. Hurry on now, love.Copy !req
43. You have to go.Copy !req
44. Let Mama tuck you in.Copy !req

50. Katherine!Copy !req
51. Quit staring off into space
and turn the damn car over.Copy !req
52. I got it.Copy !req
53. I'm not deaf.Copy !req
54. I wonder sometimes.Copy !req
55. Here it goes.Copy !req
56. Yeah,
it's the starter.Copy !req
57. That is definitely the starter.Copy !req
58. This starter is starting
to make us late.Copy !req
59. We are all gonna
end up unemployed...Copy !req
60. riding around in this pile
of junk to work every day.Copy !req
61. You're welcome
to walk the 16 miles.Copy !req
62. Or sit in the back of the bus.Copy !req
63. I won't do neither.Copy !req
64. I'll hitchhike.Copy !req
65. Girls.Copy !req

jail behind your mouth.Copy !req
70. I'll do my best, sugar.Copy !req
71. Not a great place for three of
y'all be having car trouble.Copy !req
72. We didn't pick the place,
Officer. It picked us.Copy !req
73. You being disrespectful?Copy !req
74. No, sir.Copy !req
75. You have
identification on you?Copy !req
76. Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.Copy !req
77. We're just on our way
to work...Copy !req
78. at Langley.Copy !req
79. NASA, sir.Copy !req
80. We do a great deal
of the calculating.Copy !req
81. Getting our rockets
into space.Copy !req
82. All three of you?
Yes, sir.Copy !req
83. Yes, Officer.Copy !req
84. NASA.Copy !req
85. Now that's something.Copy !req
86. I had no idea
they hired...Copy !req
87. There are quite a few women
working in the space program.Copy !req
88. Damn Russians are
watching us right now.Copy !req
89. Sputniks.Copy !req
90. You girls ever
meet those astronauts?Copy !req
91. Mercury Seven?Copy !req
92. Absolutely.Copy !req
93. Uh, yes, sir. We work with
those gentlemen all the time.Copy !req
94. Those boys are the best
we got. I'm sure of that.Copy !req
95. Yeah.
Yeah.Copy !req
96. We gotta get a man up there
before the commies do.Copy !req
97. Yes.
Absolutely.Copy !req
98. Whole damn country's
counting on them.Copy !req
99. That's for certain.Copy !req
100. Hard being of service
broken downCopy !req
101. on the side
of the road, though.Copy !req
102. Right, right.Copy !req
103. Well, do y'all need a tow
or something?Copy !req
104. No, thank you, Officer.
I think I got it.Copy !req
105. Just give me my...Copy !req
106. Just need to bypass
the starter.Copy !req
107. She's good at this stuff.Copy !req
108. Whoo! Attagirl.Copy !req
109. We're all set.Copy !req
110. Well, hell, least I can do
is give y'all an escort.Copy !req
111. I imagine you're
running late to work.Copy !req
112. No, sir. We wouldn't
wanna bother you.Copy !req
113. That would be
wonderful, Officer.Copy !req
114. Thank you so much, sir.Copy !req
115. Follow me.Copy !req
116. I'm driving.Copy !req
117. Hurry up, Dorothy,
before he changes his mind.Copy !req
118. - We're coming.
- Hold your horses.Copy !req
119. Yes!
Whoa, slow down, Mary!Copy !req
120. Mary, slow down!
You're too close!Copy !req
121. Be quiet.
He said to follow him.Copy !req
122. He didn't mean
up his behind!Copy !req
123. Dear Lord, I don't even
know where to begin!Copy !req
124. Oh, I'll tell you
where to begin.Copy !req
125. Three Negro women are chasing
a white police officerCopy !req
126. down the highway
in Hampton, Virginia...Copy !req
127. 1961.Copy !req
128. Ladies, that there
is a God-ordained miracle.Copy !req
129. And, tomorrow,
I'm riding the bus.Copy !req
130. I'm moving overCopy !req
131. I'm on a sidewalkCopy !req
132. I'm going overCopy !req
133. Lift off
is good. Trajectory is stable.Copy !req
134. Show me.Copy !req
135. No, exactly.Copy !req
136. 40.349110 degrees North.Copy !req

144. Russian orbital entry
is established.Copy !req
145. Jim Webb.Copy !req
146. Yes, Mr. President.Copy !req
147. We certainly are, sir.Copy !req
148. Uh, it looks like
they've achievedCopy !req
149. at least one orbit, maybe two.Copy !req
150. Chernushka is ready
to go again.Copy !req
151. So is our comrade, Ivan,
a brave space traveler.Copy !req
152. We have proven life can
be sustained in space.Copy !req
153. Now we will be first
to send a human.Copy !req
154. A damn dog
and a damn mannequin.Copy !req
155. And then, a 1.6 megaton RDS-37
thermonuclear warhead...Copy !req
156. drops down in the middle
of Des Moines.Copy !req
157. Well, that's
a pretty big jump, sir.Copy !req
158. What?Copy !req
159. Just that...
Who the hell is he?Copy !req
160. Paul Stafford,
our lead engineer, Mr. Webb.Copy !req
161. I think what
he meant to say...Copy !req
162. is that speculation, at least
on our side of the equation...Copy !req
163. by definition can be...Copy !req
164. just a little dangerous.Copy !req
165. Dangerous?Copy !req
166. You know what's dangerous,
Mr. Stafford?Copy !req
167. Inaction and indecision.Copy !req
168. The Russians
have a spy satelliteCopy !req
169. lapping the planet,Copy !req
170. taking pictures
of God knows what!Copy !req
171. The President is demanding
an immediate response.Copy !req
172. No more delay.
Alan Shepard, John Glenn,Copy !req
173. your uncle Bob,
it doesn't matter.Copy !req
174. Get us up there, Harrison.Copy !req
175. We can't justify
a space programCopy !req
176. that doesn't put
anything in space.Copy !req
177. How'd that feel
in there, Paul?Copy !req
178. You think you enlightened
the administrator?Copy !req
179. Hmm?Copy !req
180. No, he didn't look
enlightened to me.Copy !req
181. He look enlightened to you, Sam?Copy !req
182. Not particularly.Copy !req
183. And just so you know,Copy !req
184. he's not wrong about
what he said in there.Copy !req
185. You know that, right?Copy !req
186. Because now that
they can get up there,Copy !req
187. a bomb will follow.Copy !req
188. It's what happens
to all our good ideas.Copy !req
189. I imagine theirs too.
Where's...Copy !req
190. Where's the machine?Copy !req
191. Any day now,
Mr. Harrison.Copy !req
192. Any day now.
Yes, sir.Copy !req
193. What's it called?
The initials.Copy !req
194. The IBM.Copy !req
195. International Business Machines.Copy !req
196. Space is a business.Copy !req
197. I need a mathematician.Copy !req
198. I'll put in
another request, sir.Copy !req
199. "Another request."
Jesus Christ.Copy !req
200. We don't have a single person
in this entire buildingCopy !req
201. that can handle
analytic geometry?Copy !req
202. That's what
I've been told.Copy !req
203. Tell me something else, Ruth...Copy !req
204. like we're gonna find
such a personCopy !req
205. before the Russians
plant a flagCopy !req
206. on the damn moon.Copy !req
207. A real good time.Copy !req
208. All right, Gloria.Copy !req
209. You'll be with engineering,
building four.Copy !req
210. Ladies, ladies.Copy !req
211. If you're tardy,
you don't get an assignment.Copy !req
212. If you don't get
an assignment,Copy !req
213. you don't have a job.Copy !req
214. Eleanor.Copy !req
215. Data Reduction, building 202.Copy !req
216. Data Reduction?Copy !req
217. You're welcome
to join the charmersCopy !req
218. in Magnetoplasma Dynamics.Copy !req
219. Oh, no, ma'am.Copy !req
220. Thank you.
Data Reduction is just fine.Copy !req
221. Mm-hmm.Copy !req
222. Mary.
Present.Copy !req
223. The Mercury Seven prototype
has arrived for testing.Copy !req
224. Mr. Zielinski's
requesting youCopy !req
225. for permanent assignment.Copy !req
226. Are you serious?Copy !req
227. Get moving.Copy !req
228. Ooh, thank you, Jesus.Copy !req
229. Thank you, Jesus!Copy !req
230. Oh, thank you. Mary, Mary.
Keep it inside.Copy !req
231. Okay. I'm sorry, Dor.Copy !req
232. All right, Ms. Late.Copy !req
233. You will also be supporting
the east group.Copy !req
234. Mrs. Mitchell.Copy !req
235. We're on double-time
this morning, girls.Copy !req
236. I need these calculations
before lunch.Copy !req
237. Space Task Group
needs a computer, ASAP.Copy !req
238. Someone with a handle
on analytic geometry.Copy !req
239. We can't fill that position
out of the east group.Copy !req
240. Permanent or temp?Copy !req
241. Everything's temporary, Dorothy.Copy !req
242. You have someone?Copy !req
243. Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
244. Katherine's
the gal for that.Copy !req
245. She can handle any numbers
you put in front of her.Copy !req
246. I'll check her credentials.Copy !req
247. Didn't think I'd come
all the way down here.Copy !req
248. Here. Finish passing
those out.Copy !req
249. Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
250. Mrs. Mitchell.Copy !req
251. If I could...Copy !req
252. My application
for supervisor, ma'am.Copy !req
253. Was just wondering if they're
still considering meCopy !req
254. for that position.Copy !req
255. Yes.Copy !req
256. Well, the official
word is no.Copy !req
257. They're not assigning a permanent
supervisor for the colored group.Copy !req
258. May I ask why?Copy !req
259. I don't know why.Copy !req
260. I didn't ask why.Copy !req
261. We need a supervisor, ma'am.Copy !req
262. We haven't had one
since Miss Jansen got sick.Copy !req
263. It's been almost a year.Copy !req
264. Things are working
just fine as is.Copy !req
265. I'm doing the work
of a supervisor.Copy !req
266. Well, that's NASA for you.Copy !req
267. Fast with rocket ships,
slow with advancement.Copy !req
268. Get those trajectory
calcs worked out.Copy !req
269. We need them
for the Redstone test.Copy !req
270. Mach one tunnel test.
T-minus one minute.Copy !req
271. No shoe is worth your life.Copy !req
272. One moment.Copy !req
273. T-minus 10, 9...Copy !req
274. 8...Copy !req
275. 7...Copy !req
276. 6, 5, 4...Copy !req
277. Shut it down.Copy !req
278. If we alter the exterior
from smooth to corrugated...Copy !req
279. the capsule might have
more stability.Copy !req
280. But the friction,
it is under during re-entry...Copy !req
281. Most shield erosion occursCopy !req
282. on the posterior side
abutting the retro-boosters.Copy !req
283. Conclusion?Copy !req
284. The area closest to the boostersCopy !req
285. is closest to the heat.Copy !req
286. Coupled with rising
temperature on re-entry...Copy !req
287. the contact softens.Copy !req
288. We could consider
another fastenerCopy !req
289. other than the bolts.Copy !req
290. Yes.Copy !req
291. Yes.Copy !req
292. There is another openingCopy !req
293. in the Engineer
Training Program.Copy !req
294. Flat head rivets
would reduce wind drag.Copy !req
295. Mary, a person
with engineer's mindCopy !req
296. should be an engineer.Copy !req
297. You can't be a computer
the rest of your life.Copy !req
298. Mr. Zielinski...Copy !req
299. I'm a Negro woman.Copy !req
300. I'm not gonna entertain
the impossible.Copy !req
301. And I'm a Polish JewCopy !req
302. whose parents died
in a Nazi prison camp.Copy !req
303. Now I'm standing
beneath a spaceshipCopy !req
304. that's going to carry an
astronaut to the stars.Copy !req
305. I think we can say we are
living the impossible.Copy !req
306. Let me ask you...Copy !req
307. if you were a white male,Copy !req
308. would you wish
to be an engineer?Copy !req
309. I wouldn't have to.
I'd already be one.Copy !req
310. Skirts must be worn
past the knee.Copy !req
311. Sweaters are preferred
to blouses.Copy !req
312. No jewelry.Copy !req
313. A simple pearl necklace
is the exception.Copy !req
314. Your supervisor
is Mr. Al Harrison,Copy !req
315. Director of
the Space Task Group.Copy !req
316. You'll write research,
proof calculations, so forth.Copy !req
317. Do not talk to Mr. Harrison
unless he talks to you.Copy !req
318. Not many computers last
more than a few days.Copy !req
319. He's been through a dozen
in as many months.Copy !req
320. Come on, keep up.Copy !req
321. Things move fast
around here.Copy !req
322. Your clearance.Copy !req
323. They've never had a colored
in here before, Katherine.Copy !req
324. Don't embarrass me.Copy !req
325. This wasn't emptied
last night.Copy !req
326. I'm sorry, I'm not the...Copy !req
327. custodian.Copy !req
328. Excuse me, ma'am.Copy !req
329. Mr. Harrison's computer
reporting.Copy !req
330. Take the desk in the back.
I'll get you work in a bit.Copy !req
331. Mr. Harrison won't warm up
to you. Don't expect it.Copy !req
332. Do your work,
keep your head down.Copy !req
333. Thank you.Copy !req
334. Go on. Get settled.Copy !req
335. Paul.Copy !req
336. Why are we still
losing shinglesCopy !req
337. off the heat shield?Copy !req
338. We're working with a prototype
of the capsule, Al.Copy !req
339. Its lid is one third the
size of what it's going...Copy !req
340. I get that.Copy !req
341. So, what do we do with our
million dollar fan, Karl?Copy !req
342. Turn it down?
No, Al. I don't think...Copy !req
343. It was a joke.Copy !req
344. Paul, if the heat shield
comes off...Copy !req
345. what do you think happens
to our astronaut?Copy !req
346. I know.Copy !req
347. So we're gonna come up
with a solve, right?Copy !req
348. Yes, sir.
We're working on it.Copy !req
349. Ruth, what's the status
on that computer?Copy !req
350. She's right behind you,
Mr. Harrison.Copy !req
351. Does she handle
Analytic Geometry?Copy !req
352. Absolutely.
And she speaks.Copy !req
353. Yes, sir. I do.Copy !req
354. Which one?
Both.Copy !req
355. Geometry and speaking.Copy !req
356. Ruth, get me the...Copy !req
357. You think you...Copy !req
358. You think you can find me
the Frenet frameCopy !req
359. for this data?Copy !req
360. Using the Gram-Schmidt...Copy !req
361. Orthogonalization algorithm.
Yes, sir.Copy !req
362. I prefer it over
Euclidean coordinates.Copy !req
363. Okay, good.Copy !req
364. Good, then I'm gonna need
it by the end of the day.Copy !req
365. Yes.Copy !req
366. I'm also gonna ask youCopy !req
367. to check
Mr. Stafford's mathCopy !req
368. as well as others' on this floorCopy !req
369. from time to time.Copy !req
370. I can handle that, Al.Copy !req
371. I'm sure you can, Paul.
I'm sure they all can.Copy !req
372. But if that were the caseCopy !req
373. shingles wouldn't be flying
off the heat shield,Copy !req
374. now would they?Copy !req
375. Excuse me, could I have
everyone's attentionCopy !req
376. for a moment?Copy !req
377. Thank you.Copy !req
378. Just to be clear...Copy !req
379. in 14 days, the Mercury Seven
will be here for training.Copy !req
380. And I have no doubt in my mind
that they're going to beCopy !req
381. asking us questions
about our work.Copy !req
382. I think that's pretty reasonableCopy !req
383. given we're putting a human
on top of a missile,Copy !req
384. shooting him into space,Copy !req
385. and it's never been
done before.Copy !req
386. Because it's never been done,Copy !req
387. everything we do between now
and then is gonna matter.Copy !req
388. It's gonna matter
to their wives...Copy !req
389. to their children.Copy !req
390. I believe it's gonna matter
to the whole damn country.Copy !req
391. So this Space Task Group
will be as advertised.Copy !req
392. America's greatest engineering
and scientific mindsCopy !req
393. are not gonna have a problemCopy !req
394. with having their work checked.
Are they, Paul?Copy !req
395. No, sir.Copy !req
396. Good. So let's have
an amen, damn it.Copy !req
397. Amen.Copy !req
398. Amen!Copy !req
399. All right.Copy !req
400. My numbers are spot on.Copy !req
401. I will double check them, sir.
No problem.Copy !req
402. Uh...Copy !req
403. I'm not gonna be able to...
Work on what you can read.Copy !req
404. The rest is classified.
You don't have clearance.Copy !req
405. These are the numbers
Mr. Harrison gave me.Copy !req
406. Yes, I'm absolutely...
Excuse me.Copy !req
407. May I ask
where the ladies' room is?Copy !req
408. Sorry. I have no idea
where your bathroom is.Copy !req
409. Yes, sir.Copy !req
410. Uh, yes, sir.Copy !req
411. Summertime in
Virginia was an ovenCopy !req
412. All the kids eating
ice cream with their cousinsCopy !req
413. I was studyin' while you
was playing the dozensCopy !req
414. Don't act like you was there
when you wasn'tCopy !req
415. Runnin' from the manCopy !req
416. Runnin' from the badgeCopy !req
417. Don't act like you was there
when you wasn'tCopy !req
418. Runnin' toward our plansCopy !req
419. And the judges handsCopy !req
420. Don't act like you was there
when you wasn'tCopy !req
421. I know they say
you crawl before you walkCopy !req
422. But in my mind I already jogCopy !req
423. If I stand still
I cannot get farCopy !req
424. They want the moon
I'm on MarsCopy !req
425. Sometime my mind dives deep
when I'm runnin'Copy !req
426. Together we'll fly
But no more runnin'Copy !req
427. Ruth!Copy !req
428. Yes, Mr. Harrison?Copy !req
429. Ruth, where's that girl
with the numbers?Copy !req
430. On a... break.Copy !req
431. We take breaks now?Copy !req
432. Sometime my mind dives deep
When I'm runnin'Copy !req
433. I don't want no free rideCopy !req
434. I'm just sick and tired
of runnin'Copy !req
435. Together we fly
But no more runnin'Copy !req
436. My God, where have you been?Copy !req
437. Are you finished yet?Copy !req
438. Uh...Copy !req
439. Almost. He said
by the end of the day.Copy !req
440. The end of the day around
here was yesterday.Copy !req
441. I need those done first.Copy !req
442. He wants those done first.
Okay.Copy !req
443. Get going.Copy !req
444. I'm sorry about that.Copy !req
445. Somebody's working on it
right now.Copy !req
446. Mr. Harrison.Copy !req
447. Yeah. Uh, Just set it...
You know.Copy !req
448. And Stafford's
heat shield calcs?Copy !req
449. It's hard
to be sure, sir.Copy !req
450. Hard to be sure.Copy !req
451. You know
what we're doing here?Copy !req
452. Trying to put
a man into space, sir.Copy !req
453. That's right.Copy !req
454. That's right. So you can
throw that in the trash.Copy !req
455. Excuse me?Copy !req
456. I said you can throw it away.Copy !req
457. Here.Copy !req
458. It's not an insult
to your work.Copy !req
459. It's just obsolete.Copy !req
460. That's how fast things
are moving around here.Copy !req
461. If I said I was sorry,
I'd be saying it all day.Copy !req
462. What I'm asking you to do,Copy !req
463. what I'm asking everyone
in that room...Copy !req
464. all my geniuses...Copy !req
465. is to look
beyond the numbers.Copy !req
466. To look around them.Copy !req
467. Through them.Copy !req
468. For answers to questions
we don't even know to ask.Copy !req
469. Math that
doesn't yet exist.Copy !req
470. Because without it,
we're not going anywhere.Copy !req
471. We're staying on the ground.Copy !req
472. We're not flying into space.
We're not circling the Earth.Copy !req
473. And we're certainly not
touching the Moon.Copy !req
474. And in my mind...Copy !req
475. In my mind, I'm already there.Copy !req
476. Are you?Copy !req
477. Yes, sir.Copy !req
478. Good.Copy !req
479. Because I don't need
another smart girlCopy !req
480. with an adding machine.Copy !req
481. Can I go, sir?Copy !req
482. Yeah, go.Copy !req
483. Yes, you can go.Copy !req
484. We've been waiting for hours.
Next time, you take the bus.Copy !req
485. She's in a mood.Copy !req
486. People talkin'
tryin' to break us upCopy !req
487. Why won't they let us be?Copy !req
488. Brick and stones
may break my bonesCopy !req
489. But talk don't bother meCopy !req
490. I've been abusedCopy !req
491. In my heartCopy !req
492. I haven't been late
one day in 10 years.Copy !req
493. Haven't been out sick.
Haven't complained.Copy !req
494. My work's on time.Copy !req
495. It's done right.
It's done well.Copy !req
496. It's not fair,
that's a fact.Copy !req
497. What's not fair
is havingCopy !req
498. the responsibility
of a supervisor...Copy !req
499. - but not the title or the pay.
- Mmm.Copy !req
500. Watching you two move on.Copy !req
501. Now, don't get me wrong.Copy !req
502. Any upward movement
is movement for us all.Copy !req
503. Just isn't movement for me.Copy !req
504. Truth be told, Dorothy...Copy !req
505. I don't even know
if I can keep up in that room.Copy !req
506. I'll be back with
the computers in a week.Copy !req
507. Or out of a job entirely.Copy !req
508. Oh, please.Copy !req
509. You're better with the numbers
than anyone in there,Copy !req
510. Katherine, and you know it.Copy !req
511. Just make that pencil move
as fast as your mind does...Copy !req
512. you'll be fine.Copy !req
513. And you,
have some respect.Copy !req
514. Get your damn feet
off my dashboard.Copy !req
515. This isn't your living room.Copy !req
516. I sound like a supervisor,
don't I?Copy !req
517. A mean old salty one.Copy !req
518. Riddled with authority,
no question.Copy !req
519. You don't mess
with Mrs. Vaughan.Copy !req
520. Turn that music up.Copy !req
521. Good night,
Katherine.Copy !req
522. Bye, Kat.Copy !req
523. Good night, ladies.Copy !req
524. - See you in the morning.
- Bye.Copy !req
525. Hey, baby.Copy !req
526. Hello, Mama.Copy !req
527. I was fixing to call
the National Guard.Copy !req
528. Sorry, Mama.
New assignment.Copy !req
529. Space Task Group.Copy !req
530. Oh, my word.
That sounds important.Copy !req
531. It's a promotion?Copy !req
532. It might be
a slight promotion.Copy !req
533. But you want the job, right?Copy !req
534. I think so.Copy !req
535. It's a challenge, but...Copy !req
536. It's nothing you
can't handle, Katherine.Copy !req
537. Thank you, Mama.Copy !req
538. Are they asleep yet?Copy !req
539. They're pretending to be.Copy !req
540. - What are you doing?
- I don't...Copy !req
541. They're not pretending
well enough.Copy !req
542. Constance!Copy !req
543. Thank you, Mama.
Love you.Copy !req
544. This is my bed.
No.Copy !req
545. Get off!Copy !req
546. Go back to yours!
I'm oldest! No.Copy !req
547. - What are you doing?
- Get off!Copy !req
548. What are you doing?Copy !req
549. It's not fair how Joylette
gets to sleep by herselfCopy !req
550. because she's the oldest.Copy !req
551. Yes, it is fair.
No, it's not.Copy !req
552. - Yes, it is.
- Nuh-uh.Copy !req
553. Constance, Kathy, sit.Copy !req
554. Now, I understand...Copy !req
555. you want to be grown
and have your own space.Copy !req
556. So, whoever sleeps
in that bed,Copy !req
557. in Joylette's place...Copy !req
558. will also do the dishes...Copy !req
559. take out the trash...Copy !req
560. and do all of
Joylette's chores.Copy !req
561. That's okay. Never mind.Copy !req
562. Yeah, she's not so
terrible to share with.Copy !req
563. Okay.Copy !req
564. Then don't let me
come homeCopy !req
565. and find you like
this again, you hear me?Copy !req
566. You're supposed to been
asleep a long time ago.Copy !req
567. We just wanted
to say goodnight.Copy !req
568. You've been gone
for 300 hours.Copy !req
569. I know. I work a
full-time job now.Copy !req
570. You all know that.Copy !req
571. I have to be Mommy and Daddy.Copy !req
572. I miss your father
just as much as anyone.Copy !req
573. He's with the angels.Copy !req
574. Yes, he's with
all the angels.Copy !req
575. And he's watching over us.Copy !req
576. Every minute, okay?Copy !req
577. That's why we have
to be strong.Copy !req
578. All right?Copy !req
579. Yes, Mama.
Yes, Mama.Copy !req
580. Y'all get some rest, okay?Copy !req
581. Mama?Copy !req
582. Yes, baby?Copy !req
583. Are the Russians fixin'
to attack us?Copy !req
584. Where'd you
get that from?Copy !req
585. We had to hide under
our desks today...Copy !req
586. all scrunched up.Copy !req
587. Okay, baby,
that's called a drill.Copy !req
588. It means, uh...Copy !req
589. you practice safetyCopy !req
590. just in case something happens.Copy !req
591. Truth is, we don't know
what they're doing up there.Copy !req
592. You going to space, too?Copy !req
593. No, baby.Copy !req
594. But I'm going to do
what I canCopy !req
595. to help those brave men
get there. Yes, I am.Copy !req
596. You could fly up to space
if you wanted to, Mama.Copy !req
597. You could be an astronaut.Copy !req
598. Did you draw this?
Yes, Mama.Copy !req
599. Is that me?Copy !req
600. Mmm-hmm.Copy !req
601. You see this?Copy !req
602. Oh, my goodness.Copy !req
603. I love you, baby.Copy !req
604. I know.Copy !req
605. Come here.Copy !req
606. All right. Now this time
really go to bed.Copy !req
607. Okay?Copy !req
608. I love y'all.
Good night.Copy !req
609. Good night.
Good night, Mama.Copy !req
610. I love my picture, baby.Copy !req
611. Thank you, Lord.Copy !req
612. - Praise God!
- Praise God!Copy !req
613. Hallelujah!
Hallelujah!Copy !req
614. Hallelujah.Copy !req
615. Praise God...Copy !req
616. that change is coming.Copy !req
617. From the Southern Christian
Leadership Conference...Copy !req
618. to the good reverend
Dr. King...Copy !req
619. Amen!
Hallelujah!Copy !req
620. to the students sitting in
at lunch countersCopy !req
621. in North Carolina.Copy !req
622. That's right.
Yes, sir.Copy !req
623. His faith in us
has no limit.Copy !req
624. The good Lord
has our very own womenCopy !req
625. working on rocket ships.Copy !req
626. And we have National GuardsmenCopy !req
627. defending our freedom.Copy !req
628. Give a shout of praise
for Colonel Jim Johnson.Copy !req
629. Returning home,
by the grace of GodCopy !req
630. to set up
a National Guard unitCopy !req
631. right here in Hampton.Copy !req
632. Can I get a hallelujah in here?Copy !req
633. Hallelujah!Copy !req
634. I just don't understand.Copy !req
635. I don't understand it.Copy !req
636. I don't wanna talk
about this again, okay?Copy !req
637. A female engineer?Copy !req
638. A female engineer?Copy !req
639. We're Negro, baby.Copy !req
640. Ain't no such thing.
Understand it.Copy !req
641. It's not like that
there, Levi.Copy !req
642. You can't apply for freedom.Copy !req
643. Freedom is never granted
to the oppressed.Copy !req
644. It's got
to be demanded. Taken.Copy !req
645. Stop quoting your slogans at me.Copy !req
646. There is more than one way
to achieve something.Copy !req
647. I don't want any greens.Copy !req
648. Hey. I tell you
about interrupting?Copy !req
649. Here. Try this, baby.Copy !req
650. Yes.Copy !req
651. You're gonna eat
them greens, too.Copy !req
652. Kids need
to eat their vegetables.Copy !req
653. You'd know that
if you was ever home.Copy !req
654. You better settle down,
Levi Jackson.Copy !req
655. Unless you want
this female's mind,Copy !req
656. right here,
in front of everybody.Copy !req
657. All I'm saying...Copy !req
658. don't play the fool.Copy !req
659. I don't wanna
see you get hurt.Copy !req
660. NASA's never ever
given you guys your due.Copy !req
661. Having a couple
of extra degreesCopy !req
662. ain't gonna change that.Copy !req
663. Civil rights
ain't always civil.Copy !req
664. I don't want
any greens either.Copy !req
665. No lip, little miss.Copy !req
666. Your brother gets them,
and so do you.Copy !req
667. I hear he's planning
on staying in the area.Copy !req
668. Oh, yeah?
Well, that's good for him.Copy !req
669. Katherine, go find
your way over there.Copy !req
670. That Colonel Jim
is a tall glass of water.Copy !req
671. That he is.Copy !req
672. Tall, strong, commanding.Copy !req
673. And I bet he's like that
day and night.Copy !req
674. Mary, it's Sunday.Copy !req
675. Please have some shame.Copy !req
676. I will not.Copy !req
677. Hmm, I think he's
smiling over here.Copy !req
678. At you.Copy !req
679. Well I'm not smiling back.Copy !req
680. Yes, you are.
Oh, child.Copy !req
681. You are all teeth right now.
I am not.Copy !req
682. Come over here.Copy !req
683. He's coming over.Copy !req
684. Now, why would
he be doing that?Copy !req
685. - 'Cause Mary's waving at him.
- No!Copy !req
686. Ladies, I'm not ready.
It's too late. Fix your hair.Copy !req
687. Hello, Colonel.Copy !req
688. I'm Dorothy Vaughan.Copy !req
689. That's Mary Jackson.
I believe you met her husband, Levi.Copy !req
690. Yes, ma'am.
Good to meet y'all.Copy !req
691. And Mrs. Katherine Goble.Copy !req
692. She's not married.
She's a widow...Copy !req
693. with three beautiful
little girls.Copy !req
694. So well behaved.Copy !req
695. Angels on earth is what
we like to call them.Copy !req
696. Dorothy, slice of pie?Copy !req
697. I'd love one.Copy !req
698. Excuse me.Copy !req
699. You already have
a slice of pie...Copy !req
700. Uh-huh.Copy !req
701. I was just, uh, fixing my
three babies some plates...Copy !req
702. Let me help you.Copy !req
703. Sure.Copy !req
704. Fruit salad.
Mmm-hmm.Copy !req
705. Pastor mentioned you're
a computer at NASA.Copy !req
706. Yes.Copy !req
707. What's that entail?Copy !req
708. Oh.Copy !req
709. We calculate
the mathematics necessaryCopy !req
710. to enable launch and landing
for the space program.Copy !req
711. That's pretty heady stuff.Copy !req
712. Yes, it is.Copy !req
713. They let women
handle that sort of...Copy !req
714. Uh...Copy !req
715. That's not what I mean.Copy !req
716. What do you mean?Copy !req
717. I'm just surprised
that something so...Copy !req
718. taxing...
Mmm-hmm.Copy !req
719. Mr. Johnson.Copy !req
720. If I were you,
I'd quit talking right now.Copy !req
721. I didn't mean
no disrespect.Copy !req
722. I will have you knowCopy !req
723. I was the first
Negro female studentCopy !req
724. at West Virginia University
Graduate School.Copy !req
725. On any given day...Copy !req
726. I analyze the manometer levelsCopy !req
727. for air displacement,
friction, and velocityCopy !req
728. and compute
over 10,000 calculationsCopy !req
729. by cosine, square root...Copy !req
730. and, lately, analytic geometry.Copy !req
731. By hand.Copy !req
732. There are 20 bright,
highly capableCopy !req
733. Negro women
in the West Computing Group.Copy !req
734. And we're proud to be doing
our part for the country.Copy !req
735. So, yes.Copy !req
736. They let women do some things
at NASA, Mr. Johnson.Copy !req
737. And it's not because
we wear skirts.Copy !req
738. It's because
we wear glasses.Copy !req
739. Have a good day.Copy !req
740. Scott, welcome to Langley.Copy !req
741. Welcome to Langley.
Welcome.Copy !req
742. Good to have
you here, gentlemen.Copy !req
743. Thank you.Copy !req
744. That's Alan Shepard,
U.S. Navy pilot.Copy !req
745. He could be the
first man in space.Copy !req
746. And that's Scott Carpenter
and Walter Schirra...Copy !req
747. also Navy pilots.Copy !req
748. All under 5'11", 180 pounds.Copy !req
749. IQs over 130.
Mmm.Copy !req
750. And handsome must be
a requirement too.Copy !req
751. How could you possibly be
ogling these white men?Copy !req
752. It's equal rights.Copy !req
753. I have the right to see
fine in every color.Copy !req
754. And that's John Glenn.
He's the only Marine Corps pilot.Copy !req
755. Gentlemen, if we may,
much to see around here.Copy !req
756. Well, heck, we haven't
shaken all the hands yet.Copy !req
757. We have a fairly tight
itinerary, Colonel.Copy !req
758. Ruth, he's fine.Copy !req
759. He's coming this way.
Look straight ahead.Copy !req
760. I'm looking right at him.Copy !req
761. Ladies, I didn't wanna run
off without saying hello.Copy !req
762. Seem to be in a big
rush around here.Copy !req
763. The Russians certainly
aren't slowing down any.Copy !req
764. They can't build
a damn refrigerator.Copy !req
765. How the heck did they
beat us into space?Copy !req
766. And what do you ladies do
for NASA?Copy !req
767. Calculate your trajectories.
Launch and landing.Copy !req
768. You can't get anywhere
without the numbers.Copy !req
769. No, sir.Copy !req
770. Mary Jackson, Mr. Glenn.
Engineering.Copy !req
771. And I'm proud as the devil
to be working with you.Copy !req
772. Thank you, Mary.Copy !req
773. John.Copy !req
774. John, let's take it inside.
Yes, sir.Copy !req
775. Guys.
Nice meeting you guys.Copy !req
776. Thank you, Colonel.
Good luck, sir.Copy !req
777. God bless you all.Copy !req
778. Thank you. That's wonderful.Copy !req
779. Thank you!Copy !req
780. Mr. Harrison wants you
to confirmCopy !req
781. launch and landing for the
Redstone rocket test.Copy !req
782. I cannot work on what
I cannot see, Mr. Stafford.Copy !req
783. It's illegible.Copy !req
784. Those numbers have
already been confirmedCopy !req
785. by two engineers in this
department and myself.Copy !req
786. This is more or less
a dummy check.Copy !req
787. You have one, we make it two.
Make it double, okay?Copy !req
788. We gotta get it.
Just make it happen.Copy !req
789. No one thought to measure
these things?Copy !req
790. I'm afraid not, sir.Copy !req
791. Well, would you
like us to stop?Copy !req
792. No. No, just...Copy !req
793. Actually, no.
Just keep going.Copy !req
794. In fact, use the
big hammer.Copy !req
795. Yes, sir.Copy !req
796. Come on, use the big hammer.
You heard the man. Let's go.Copy !req
797. Watch out.Copy !req
798. Ma'am.Copy !req
799. Our runner can pick up
your work, Dorothy.Copy !req
800. You need to be working,
not walking.Copy !req
801. Oh, it's break time, ma'am.
No trouble at all.Copy !req
802. Since you made the trip...Copy !req
803. you can take that batch
over there.Copy !req
804. Sure thing, Mrs. Mitchell.Copy !req
805. You need something else?
Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
806. I was wondering if you know
what they're buildingCopy !req
807. over in the tech wing.Copy !req
808. It's called an IBM.Copy !req
809. A mainframe machine.Copy !req
810. Apparently, it can
do our calculationsCopy !req
811. in a fraction of the time.Copy !req
812. Hmm.Copy !req
813. I guess that's good for NASA.Copy !req
814. Hurry on, now.
Best if you do it in one trip.Copy !req
815. Excuse me.Copy !req
816. Hi.Copy !req
817. What are you
looking at, Paul?Copy !req
818. Is that correct?Copy !req
819. Yeah.Copy !req
820. Whose work is that?Copy !req
821. I said, whose work is that?Copy !req
822. Katherine Goble, sir.Copy !req
823. Hello.
Hi.Copy !req
824. How did you know
the RedstoneCopy !req
825. couldn't support orbital flight?Copy !req
826. That's classified information.Copy !req
827. It's top secret.Copy !req
828. It's no secret why the
Redstone tests keep failing.Copy !req
829. It's fine
for sub-orbital flightCopy !req
830. but it can't handle
the weight of the capsuleCopy !req
831. and push it into space.Copy !req
832. Numbers don't lie.Copy !req
833. And you figured
all that out with this?Copy !req
834. Half the data is redacted.Copy !req
835. But what's there tells a story
if you read between the lines.Copy !req
836. The distance from launch
to orbit, we know.Copy !req
837. Redstone mass, we know.Copy !req
838. Mercury capsule weight, we know.Copy !req
839. And the speeds are there
in the data.Copy !req
840. You did the math.Copy !req
841. Yes, sir.Copy !req
842. I looked beyond.Copy !req
843. How do you know
about the Atlas rocket?Copy !req
844. That's not math.Copy !req
845. That data is not here.Copy !req
846. Like you said, it's classified.Copy !req
847. I held it up to the light.Copy !req
848. You held it up
to the light?Copy !req
849. Yes, sir.Copy !req
850. Well, there it is.Copy !req
851. Mmm-hmm.Copy !req
852. Atlas.Copy !req
853. What's your name?Copy !req
854. Katherine Goble.Copy !req
855. Are you a spy, Katherine?Copy !req
856. Am I what?Copy !req
857. I said, are you a Russian spy?Copy !req
858. No, sir.Copy !req
859. I'm not Russian.Copy !req
860. She's not Russian, sir.Copy !req
861. All right then, we have
nothing to lose here.Copy !req
862. Give her everything she needsCopy !req
863. to work on Shepard's
trajectories.Copy !req
864. Without redaction.
Are we clear on that?Copy !req
865. Are we sure about this?Copy !req
866. What's the issue, Paul?Copy !req
867. You heard her.Copy !req
868. She's not a spy.Copy !req
869. I just don't think
it's a good idea.Copy !req
870. You know what I think's
a good idea? Darker ink.Copy !req
871. I think darker ink's
a good idea.Copy !req
872. Ruth, could you
pass it along?Copy !req
873. Yes, sir.Copy !req
874. Thank you, Katherine.Copy !req
875. Thank you, sir.Copy !req
876. This interrogation's over.Copy !req
877. You can probably get to the
moon and back with this.Copy !req
878. Just not the bathroom.Copy !req
879. At least they're not
blind of what you do.Copy !req
880. It's not gonna matter soon.Copy !req
881. This IBM's gonna
put us all out of work.Copy !req
882. How you doing?
What can we do about it?Copy !req
883. Only one thing to do.Copy !req
884. Learn all we can,
make ourselves valuable.Copy !req
885. Somewhere down the line,
a human beingCopy !req
886. is gonna have
to push the buttons.Copy !req
887. That's right.Copy !req
888. Oh, mercy.Copy !req
889. Well, she must be lost.Copy !req
890. NASA doesn't commission femalesCopy !req
891. for the Engineer
Training Program.Copy !req
892. That position is available
to any qualified applicant.Copy !req
893. Right. Except, you don't have
the educational requirements.Copy !req
894. I have a bachelor's degreeCopy !req
895. in mathematics
and physical science.Copy !req
896. It's the same as most
engineers around here.Copy !req
897. We now require advanced
extension coursesCopy !req
898. through the University
of Virginia.Copy !req
899. It's in the employee
handbook. In addendum.Copy !req
900. In case you haven't read it.Copy !req
901. Every time we have a chance
to get ahead...Copy !req
902. they move the finish line.Copy !req
903. I just follow the rules
around here.Copy !req
904. And I expect everyone
who works for meCopy !req
905. to follow them as well.Copy !req
906. There are no special
circumstances for anyone.Copy !req
907. Y'all should be thankful
you have jobs at all.Copy !req
908. "For those that cannot attend classes
at the University of Virginia...Copy !req
909. "advanced extension courses
are availableCopy !req
910. "at the Hampton High School."Copy !req
911. That's still a
segregated school, Mary.Copy !req
912. Virginia acts like Brown
versus Board of EducationCopy !req
913. never happened.Copy !req
914. They are never gonna
allow a colored womanCopy !req
915. to just take classes
at an all-white school.Copy !req
916. Well, sounds about right.Copy !req
917. That's all you gonna say?Copy !req
918. I'm not gonna sit here all day
and listen to you complainCopy !req
919. about the way things are.Copy !req
920. We're trying to play cards.Copy !req
921. Petition the court.
Fight for what you want.Copy !req
922. But quit talking about it.Copy !req
923. I've been complaining?
For days.Copy !req
924. Ladies.Copy !req
925. Not one more peep
about work.Copy !req
926. Deal me in.Copy !req
927. Katherine?Copy !req
928. - Come on.
- Oh, no.Copy !req
929. Right here.
You.Copy !req
930. Child, I needed this.Copy !req
931. Thank you.Copy !req
932. Don't give her
anymore, Katherine.Copy !req
933. I can't. She drank it all.Copy !req
934. Listen, I'm fine.Copy !req
935. I'm as fine
as I have ever been.Copy !req
936. You're drunk
as you've ever been.Copy !req
937. Come on. Let's dance, ladies.Copy !req
938. Come on, Kat. Let's dance.Copy !req
939. Go and dance with her,
Katherine.Copy !req
940. Come on.
Get out here.Copy !req
941. Hide that.Copy !req
942. We gonna teach you
how to dance.Copy !req
943. You go ahead.Copy !req
944. All right.
It's too low.Copy !req
945. We gonna teach you
how to get a man.Copy !req
946. - Teach me? What?
- That's right. Come on!Copy !req
947. You got to know
how to dance.Copy !req
948. Slow. Slow.
Come on.Copy !req
949. Twirl it around.
Twirl, twirl.Copy !req
950. Yes!
Twirl, twirl, twirl.Copy !req
951. Whoo! Look at her,
Dorothy.Copy !req
952. Can I win me one of those
fancy dance contests?Copy !req
953. Whip it around.Copy !req
954. Yeah, and on the outside.Copy !req
955. Was it better than Mama's?Copy !req
956. No, not really.Copy !req
957. Segregation must go!Copy !req
958. Segregation must go!Copy !req
959. Segregation must go!Copy !req
960. Segregation must go!Copy !req
961. Don't pay attention
to all that.Copy !req
962. We're not part
of that trouble. Go on.Copy !req
963. "Mind. They must have done..."Copy !req
964. We don't want any trouble
in here.Copy !req
965. Oh, I'm not here
for any trouble, ma'am.Copy !req
966. What are you here for?Copy !req
967. A book.Copy !req
968. You have books
in the colored section.Copy !req
969. It doesn't have
what I'm looking for.Copy !req
970. That's just
the way it is.Copy !req
971. Go on, now.
You know better than this.Copy !req
972. Get your hands off my boys!
Don't touch them.Copy !req
973. You have a blessed day.Copy !req
974. Separate and equal
are two different things.Copy !req
975. Just 'cause it's the way,
doesn't make it right.Copy !req
976. Understand?Copy !req
977. Yes, Mama.Copy !req
978. You act right, you are right.Copy !req
979. That's for certain.Copy !req
980. Understand?Copy !req
981. Yes, Mama.Copy !req
982. You took that book, Mama?Copy !req
983. Son, I pay taxes.Copy !req
984. And taxes pay for everything
in that library.Copy !req
985. Can't take something
you already paid for.Copy !req
986. "Fortran is a new
and exciting language...Copy !req
987. "used by programmers
to communicate with computers.Copy !req
988. "It is exciting, as it is
the wave of the future."Copy !req
989. All right, everybody smile.Copy !req
990. - Everybody smile.
- Aw!Copy !req
991. Make a wish.
Make a wish.Copy !req
992. Blow. Try again.Copy !req
993. There you go.Copy !req
994. Leonard, you need
to get you a job now.Copy !req
995. Two jobs.Copy !req
996. Your baby is nine.
What are you gonna do?Copy !req
997. Thank you, man.
Yeah, you're just in time.Copy !req
998. Look at that.Copy !req
999. Look at what?
What a surprise.Copy !req
1000. Can't complain, man.Copy !req
1001. I'll say.Copy !req
1002. Howard must have invited him.
Mmm-hmm.Copy !req
1003. Let me go help them
with those flowers.Copy !req
1004. Walter, you behave yourself.Copy !req
1005. Now, you know,
I'm just... Yeah.Copy !req
1006. That's right, baby.
Shake it.Copy !req
1007. Yeah. There you go.Copy !req
1008. Good to see you.
Yes. Thank you.Copy !req
1009. I believe
I owe you an apology.Copy !req
1010. Well, was that it?Copy !req
1011. Can I make it
while we dance?Copy !req
1012. I'm afraid I simply misspoke
the other day, Mrs. Goble.Copy !req
1013. I've been away
for a long time.Copy !req
1014. I imagine I'm just
out of practice.Copy !req
1015. Mmm-hmm.Copy !req
1016. I was hoping you'd allow
me to start over.Copy !req
1017. Mmm-hmm.Copy !req
1018. See, the thing is...Copy !req
1019. I have an interest in
getting to know you better.Copy !req
1020. Mmm-hmm.Copy !req
1021. You're one
tough customer, huh?Copy !req
1022. You haven't said
you're sorry yet.Copy !req
1023. Right.Copy !req
1024. Of course.Copy !req
1025. I'm sorry, Katherine.Copy !req
1026. For what, Jim?Copy !req
1027. Underestimating you.Copy !req
1028. And any other woman
like you...Copy !req
1029. Though I don't imagine
there's many.Copy !req
1030. That's good practice,
right there.Copy !req
1031. We interrupt
this musical programmingCopy !req
1032. with breaking news.Copy !req
1033. The Soviet news agency
has announcedCopy !req
1034. that Russian cosmonaut,
Yuri Gagarin,Copy !req
1035. has become
the first man in space.Copy !req
1036. Gagarin completedCopy !req
1037. one full orbit
around the planetCopy !req
1038. in 108 minutes.Copy !req
1039. Stay tuned to this station
for more detailsCopy !req
1040. as they become available.Copy !req
1041. Guess that puts us
behind the curve.Copy !req
1042. The Vostok-1 rocket...Copy !req
1043. delivered Russian cosmonaut
Yuri Gagarin's 3KA capsule...Copy !req
1044. into orbit, at 6:07 UTC...Copy !req
1045. Reentering Russian airspace
at 7:55 UTC.Copy !req
1046. Proving conclusively that manCopy !req
1047. could survive
orbital space flight.Copy !req
1048. Gagarin was awardedCopy !req
1049. the Order of Lenin
and a Gold Star...Copy !req
1050. Well, they beat
the pants off us.Copy !req
1051. Let's go.Copy !req
1052. He is also conferred
the title...Copy !req
1053. Let's learn how to fly
to space.Copy !req
1054. "First Soviet Astronaut"...Copy !req
1055. and has been proclaimed
a national hero.Copy !req
1056. This is a day
of unprecedented triumph...Copy !req
1057. for the Russian
space programCopy !req
1058. and a crushing blow
for AmericaCopy !req
1059. in the race for space.Copy !req
1060. I wanna thank everyone
for staying.Copy !req
1061. I know it's late.
And after what I just saw,Copy !req
1062. I'm sure everyone's probably
anxious to just go home.Copy !req
1063. Before we do, I just
have to ask a question.Copy !req
1064. The same oneCopy !req
1065. I've been asking myself
all the way over here...Copy !req
1066. which is...Copy !req
1067. How the hell did
we find ourselfCopy !req
1068. in second place
in a two-man race?Copy !req
1069. Anybody?Copy !req
1070. Paul?Copy !req
1071. And I think Glenn said it
pretty well.Copy !req
1072. They're just outworking us.Copy !req
1073. The reason
I have to think thatCopy !req
1074. is because I refuse
to believeCopy !req
1075. that the Russians
are smarter than usCopy !req
1076. or that they have
more technology,Copy !req
1077. or that they care more.Copy !req
1078. But I don't know.
Is that possible?Copy !req
1079. Is it possible
that it actuallyCopy !req
1080. means more to them?Copy !req
1081. We're in the fight
of our lives, people.Copy !req
1082. We're not on
some epic joy ride.Copy !req
1083. I just saw seven facesCopy !req
1084. who aren't sure
that we can get there.Copy !req
1085. This is our problem.Copy !req
1086. And so as of right nowCopy !req
1087. there's only two things you
need to know going forward.Copy !req
1088. One is staying here,
working late,Copy !req
1089. that's gonna be
a fact of life.Copy !req
1090. And two, don't expect
your paychecksCopy !req
1091. to reflect the extra time
it's gonna takeCopy !req
1092. to catch up
and pass those bastards.Copy !req
1093. For those of you
who can't work that way,Copy !req
1094. I understand and thank you
for what you've done.Copy !req
1095. For everyone else...Copy !req
1096. I suggest
you call your wivesCopy !req
1097. and tell them
how it's gonna be.Copy !req
1098. I'll start with mine.Copy !req
1099. Sam, turn it up.
Turn it up.Copy !req
1100. Yes, sir.Copy !req
1101. John.
Morning, sir.Copy !req
1102. 7-5, 7-4, 7-3...Copy !req
1103. End of the day.Copy !req
1104. Okay, we're looking good.Copy !req
1105. Okay.Copy !req
1106. Sir, might be
the selector latch.Copy !req
1107. I'm taking a walk.Copy !req
1108. We're honored
to serve our country.Copy !req
1109. So we don't think
about danger.Copy !req
1110. We don't have time
to be scared.Copy !req
1111. We got a job to do.Copy !req
1112. Good morning.
Good morning.Copy !req
1113. Mrs. Jackson.Copy !req
1114. Colored seats are at the back
of the court room.Copy !req
1115. Thank you, ma'am.Copy !req
1116. So, which one of you
wants to go first?Copy !req
1117. The IBM 7090
data processing system.Copy !req
1118. It has the capability
of solvingCopy !req
1119. over 24,000 multiplicationsCopy !req
1120. per second.Copy !req
1121. Holy Moses,
that's lightning fast.Copy !req
1122. They'll never
get that to work.Copy !req
1123. Oh, it'll run eventually.Copy !req
1124. And when it does, we have
to know how to program it.Copy !req
1125. Unless you'd rather be
out of a job.Copy !req
1126. No, ma'am.Copy !req
1127. Mr. Z...Copy !req
1128. I got a court date.Copy !req
1129. "The computer uses itCopy !req
1130. "as its high speed
storage unit,Copy !req
1131. "an information
holding device."Copy !req
1132. Hmm.Copy !req
1133. You have a brain.Copy !req
1134. That I can work with.Copy !req
1135. This is in the wrong spot.Copy !req
1136. Attagirl.Copy !req
1137. Ruth.Copy !req
1138. Yes, sir. Get me the
Cape on the line.Copy !req
1139. Shepard's trajectories
need to be updated.Copy !req
1140. Wow.Copy !req
1141. Where is she?Copy !req
1142. You and I are no
different from each otherCopy !req
1143. Shut our eyes
when we slumber I see numbersCopy !req
1144. Black and white
we're computers, I am colorCopy !req
1145. Don't act like
you was there when you wasn'tCopy !req
1146. I don't want no free rideCopy !req
1147. Some nights I cryCopy !req
1148. 'Cause I can
see the day comin'Copy !req
1149. Together we flyCopy !req
1150. Oh, but no more runnin'Copy !req
1151. No more runnin'Copy !req
1152. Where the hell
have you been?Copy !req
1153. Everywhere I look, you're not
where I need you to be.Copy !req
1154. It's not my imagination.Copy !req
1155. Now where the hell
do you go every day?Copy !req
1156. To the bathroom, sir.Copy !req
1157. To the bathroom?Copy !req
1158. To the damn bathroom.Copy !req
1159. For 40 minutes a day?Copy !req
1160. What do you do
in there?Copy !req
1161. We're T-minus zero here.
I put a lot of faith in you.Copy !req
1162. There's no bathroom
for me here.Copy !req
1163. What do you mean there is
no bathroom for you here?Copy !req
1164. There is no bathroom.Copy !req
1165. There are no colored
bathrooms in this buildingCopy !req
1166. or any building
outside the West Campus,Copy !req
1167. which is half a mile away.Copy !req
1168. Did you know that?Copy !req
1169. I have to walk to Timbuktu
just to relieve myself.Copy !req
1170. And I can't use
one of the handy bikes.Copy !req
1171. Picture that, Mr. Harrison.Copy !req
1172. My uniform...Copy !req
1173. Skirt below my knees,
my heels,Copy !req
1174. and a simple string of pearls.Copy !req
1175. Well, I don't own pearls.Copy !req
1176. Lord knows you don't pay
coloreds enoughCopy !req
1177. to afford pearls!Copy !req
1178. And I work like a dog,
day and night,Copy !req
1179. living off of coffee
from a potCopy !req
1180. none of you wanna touch!Copy !req
1181. So, excuse meCopy !req
1182. if I have to go
to the restroomCopy !req
1183. a few times a day.Copy !req
1184. There you have it.Copy !req
1185. No more colored restrooms.Copy !req
1186. No more white restrooms.Copy !req
1187. Just plain old toilets.Copy !req
1188. Go wherever
you damn well please.Copy !req
1189. Preferably closer
to your desk.Copy !req
1190. Here at NASA,
we all pee the same color.Copy !req
1191. Heard you was
fighting the flu.Copy !req
1192. Figured you could
use some soup.Copy !req
1193. Hot meal for the girls.Copy !req
1194. Come on in.Copy !req
1195. Excuse me.Copy !req
1196. Okay, ladies.
Let's say grace.Copy !req
1197. Bow your heads.Copy !req
1198. Dear Lord, thank you
for this meal.Copy !req
1199. We ask that you
bless this foodCopy !req
1200. so that it may
bless our bodies.Copy !req
1201. In Jesus's name we pray.Copy !req
1202. Amen.
Amen.Copy !req
1203. It's a historic day,
here at Cape Canaveral.Copy !req
1204. And here's what we can expect.Copy !req
1205. Alan Shepard and Freedom 7
will be launched into spaceCopy !req
1206. at an altitude of about
116 miles an hour.Copy !req
1207. Dorothy, come on, you gonna miss it!
Oh, boy! Go.Copy !req
1208. - Come on, Dorothy.
- I'm coming.Copy !req
1209. then he will land
around 35 milesCopy !req
1210. off the coast of Florida...Copy !req
1211. where he'll be picked upCopy !req
1212. by the men
of the USS Lake Champlain...Copy !req
1213. Finally. Come over here.Copy !req
1214. who set out
for this historic purpose.Copy !req
1215. Freedom 7,
we're going to have to bleed offCopy !req
1216. some of the pressure
inside the liquid oxygen tank.Copy !req
1217. That should reduce the temperature
inside the capsule. Over.Copy !req
1218. Any day now, CAPCOM.Copy !req
1219. Fix your little problem
and light this candle.Copy !req
1220. Roger that, Freedom 7.Copy !req
1221. Stand by.Copy !req
1222. Temperature is returning
to normal.Copy !req
1223. Running one more
launch status check.Copy !req
1224. All systems now go.Copy !req
1225. Move to final countdown
sequence.Copy !req
1226. Moving to final
countdown sequence.Copy !req
1227. Roger that.Copy !req
1228. We're at T-minus 10...Copy !req
1229. nine...Copy !req
1230. eight...Copy !req

1235. three...Copy !req
1236. two...Copy !req
1237. one...Copy !req
1238. zero.Copy !req
1239. We have ignition.Copy !req
1240. And we have lift off.Copy !req
1241. Get up there.Copy !req
1242. Lift off,
and the clock is started.Copy !req
1243. Fuel is go. 2.5G.Copy !req
1244. Get on up there.Copy !req
1245. - Come on!

1246. 34 minutes after the hour.Copy !req
1247. Pitch 88.
Trajectory is good.Copy !req
1248. Yaw is okay.Copy !req
1249. Switching manual roll.Copy !req
1250. Yes!Copy !req
1251. For the eyes of the worldCopy !req
1252. now look into space,Copy !req
1253. to the Moon
and to the planets beyond.Copy !req
1254. Yes!
We did it!Copy !req
1255. And we have vowed...Copy !req
1256. that we shall not
see it governed...Copy !req
1257. by a hostile flag
of conquest...Copy !req
1258. but by a banner
of freedom and peace.Copy !req
1259. We set sail on this new sea...Copy !req
1260. because there is new knowledge
to be gained...Copy !req
1261. and new rights to be won.Copy !req
1262. We choose to go to the Moon
in this decadeCopy !req
1263. and do the other things...Copy !req
1264. not because they are easy...Copy !req
1265. but because they are hard.Copy !req
1266. Suppose we should all
thank President KennedyCopy !req
1267. for the continued
job security.Copy !req
1268. Uh, Gus Grissom's up next.Copy !req
1269. Another suborbital flight
with a Redstone.Copy !req
1270. It's our last shotCopy !req
1271. before we strap Glenn
to the AtlasCopy !req
1272. and pray we can bring him
back down.Copy !req
1273. Yes, and I imagine
he'd like usCopy !req
1274. to have the math
worked out beforehand.Copy !req
1275. Good work, gentlemen.Copy !req
1276. Go have dinner
with your kidsCopy !req
1277. and let's get
back to work.Copy !req
1278. Look what you've done to meCopy !req
1279. Make me behave like
I wouldn't everCopy !req
1280. I know you're the one for meCopy !req
1281. Your essence is the ink
in the word "forever"Copy !req
1282. I think it's high time that
I kissed you, Katherine.Copy !req
1283. Oh, and why is that?Copy !req
1284. Figured you attracted to me,
same as I to you.Copy !req
1285. Is that right?
Mmm-hmm.Copy !req
1286. Or you would have told me to
get going a long time ago.Copy !req
1287. Haven't kissed a man
in a long time.Copy !req
1288. Almost forgot how to.Copy !req
1289. The FBI
has arrested four white menCopy !req
1290. accused of throwing
a fire bombCopy !req
1291. into a Freedom Rider busCopy !req
1292. outside of Anniston,
Alabama...Copy !req
1293. - Hi, babies.
- The bus filled rapidlyCopy !req
1294. Hi, Mama.
with black smoke.Copy !req
1295. We all hit the floor.Copy !req
1296. All of us realized
the bus was on fire...Copy !req
1297. and had to go out
into the mob.Copy !req
1298. The kids don't need
to be watching this.Copy !req
1299. They need to see this.Copy !req
1300. When we got off the bus
in Birmingham...Copy !req
1301. Everybody needs to see this.Copy !req
1302. took me and forced me
out of the door...Copy !req
1303. and threw me into the crowd.Copy !req
1304. And then I was beaten by one
big guy and several others.Copy !req
1305. We think we're rendering
a great service to our nation.Copy !req
1306. For this is not a struggle
for ourselves alone.Copy !req
1307. It is a struggle
to save the soul of America.Copy !req
1308. Mary Jackson.Copy !req
1309. Petition to attend courses
at Hampton High School.Copy !req
1310. Good morning, Your Honor.Copy !req
1311. Hampton High School is
a white school, Mrs. Jackson.Copy !req
1312. Yes, Your Honor.
I'm aware of that.Copy !req
1313. Virginia,
still a segregated state.Copy !req
1314. Regardless of what
the federal government says,Copy !req
1315. regardless of what
the Supreme Court says,Copy !req
1316. our law is the law.Copy !req
1317. Your Honor, if I may.Copy !req
1318. I believe there are
special circumstancesCopy !req
1319. to be considered.Copy !req
1320. What would warrant
a colored womanCopy !req
1321. attending a white school?Copy !req
1322. May I approach
your bench, sir?Copy !req
1323. Your Honor...Copy !req
1324. you of all people
should understandCopy !req
1325. the importance of being first.Copy !req
1326. How's that, Mrs. Jackson?Copy !req
1327. You were the first
in your familyCopy !req
1328. to serve in the Armed Forces.Copy !req
1329. U.S. Navy.Copy !req
1330. The first
to attend university.Copy !req
1331. George Mason.Copy !req
1332. And the first state judge
to be recommissionedCopy !req
1333. by three consecutive
governors.Copy !req
1334. You've done some research.Copy !req
1335. Yes, sir.Copy !req
1336. What's the point?Copy !req
1337. The point is, Your Honor...Copy !req
1338. no Negro woman
in the state of Virginia...Copy !req
1339. has ever attended
an all-white high school.Copy !req
1340. It's unheard of.Copy !req
1341. Yeah. Unheard of.Copy !req
1342. And before Alan Shepard
sat on top of a rocket,Copy !req
1343. no other American
had ever touched space.Copy !req
1344. And now, he will forever
be rememberedCopy !req
1345. as the U.S. Navy man
from New Hampshire,Copy !req
1346. the first to touch the stars.Copy !req
1347. And I, sir...Copy !req
1348. I plan on being
an engineer at NASA,Copy !req
1349. but I can't do that
without taking them classesCopy !req
1350. at that all-white high school.Copy !req
1351. And I can't change
the color of my skin.Copy !req
1352. So I have no choice
but to be the first.Copy !req
1353. Which I can't do
without you, sir.Copy !req
1354. Your Honor...Copy !req
1355. out of all the cases
you're gonna hear today...Copy !req
1356. which one is gonna matter
100 years from now?Copy !req
1357. Which one is gonna
make you the first?Copy !req
1358. Hmm.Copy !req
1359. Only the night classes...Copy !req
1360. Mrs. Jackson.Copy !req
1361. Yes, yes, yes!Copy !req
1362. Yes!Copy !req
1363. Oh, my God.
I cannot believe.Copy !req
1364. How late did he say
he was gonna be?Copy !req
1365. Excuse me.
No more than five minutes, sir.Copy !req
1366. Gus Grissom's
coordinates.Copy !req
1367. Uh, I'd like to get a jump
on John Glenn's trajectory.Copy !req
1368. Do you have any idea
what you're asking?Copy !req
1369. An orbital launch with an Atlas
rocket is going to take time.Copy !req
1370. Is there a problem?Copy !req
1371. Mr. Harrison...Copy !req
1372. I was wondering.Copy !req
1373. Uh-huh. I've been
wondering my whole life,Copy !req
1374. so you just
spit it out.Copy !req
1375. Well, sir...Copy !req
1376. I would like to get a jump
on John Glenn's trajectory.Copy !req
1377. This isn't about
plugging in numbers,Copy !req
1378. it's about inventing the math.Copy !req
1379. And I think you and I
talked about that, right?Copy !req
1380. It doesn't exist.Copy !req
1381. I can do it, sir.Copy !req
1382. Do you have any idea
how exactingCopy !req
1383. these calculations have to be?Copy !req
1384. It's like shooting a sawed-off
shotgun from a thousand feetCopy !req
1385. and getting that one BB through a
hole so tiny, you can't even see it.Copy !req
1386. Okay, let me see
what you've got.Copy !req
1387. I'm an excellent shot, sir.Copy !req
1388. How have the
Grissom numbers been?Copy !req
1389. They've been spot on.Copy !req
1390. Give Glenn's orbit a go.Copy !req
1391. But you run it all through
Stafford, you understand?Copy !req
1392. Yes, sir.Copy !req
1393. Thank you.Copy !req
1394. Computers don't
author reports.Copy !req
1395. CAPCOM,
this is Liberty Bell 7.Copy !req
1396. Loud and clear.Copy !req
1397. Okay, it's a nice
ride up to now.Copy !req
1398. Roger.Copy !req
1399. Liberty Bell 7,
this is Hook 1 approaching.Copy !req
1400. Ready to hook on. Over.Copy !req
1401. I read you loud
and clear. Over.Copy !req
1402. The hatch is blown,
CAPCOM.Copy !req
1403. The Liberty Bell 7
capsule is taking on water.Copy !req
1404. Gus Grissom
is out of the capsule.Copy !req
1405. Rescuers are now going
to pull himCopy !req
1406. from the ocean waves.Copy !req
1407. Unfortunately, the Liberty
Bell 7 capsule is lost.Copy !req
1408. Mama.Copy !req
1409. I can't, I can't.
Mary.Copy !req
1410. Mr. Harrison,Copy !req
1411. taxpayer money
sank into the oceanCopy !req
1412. along with your capsule.Copy !req
1413. So what makes you thinkCopy !req
1414. you can bring
John Glenn home safely?Copy !req
1415. Let me say first...Copy !req
1416. discovery is never
just for the sakeCopy !req
1417. of discovery, gentlemen...Copy !req
1418. but for the sake
of human survival.Copy !req
1419. And it will always
come with a risk.Copy !req
1420. Whoever gets there first
will make the rules.Copy !req
1421. That's been true
of every civilization.Copy !req
1422. And so, I think
the bigger questionCopy !req
1423. for this body
to consider is...Copy !req
1424. who do you want calling
the shots in space?Copy !req
1425. We have to know
what's out there, Senator.Copy !req
1426. We have to touch the stars,Copy !req
1427. if only to ensure
our own survival.Copy !req
1428. And only a man can do that.Copy !req
1429. We'll get
John Glenn home safelyCopy !req
1430. because we have to.Copy !req
1431. Because he has to tell us
what he saw.Copy !req
1432. The Redstone rocket
went straight up.Copy !req
1433. But the capsule
didn't have enough speedCopy !req
1434. to go into orbit,
so it came back down.Copy !req
1435. Essentially a triangle.
Earth, sub-orbit, Earth.Copy !req
1436. That math was known.Copy !req
1437. That took Shepard,
took Grissom.Copy !req
1438. That cannot take Glenn.Copy !req
1439. Now, the Atlas rocket...Copy !req
1440. that can push us into orbit.Copy !req
1441. Goes up, delivers the capsule
into an elliptical orbit.Copy !req
1442. Earth's gravity
keeps pulling at itCopy !req
1443. but it's going so fast,
it keeps missing the Earth.Copy !req
1444. That's how it stays in orbit.Copy !req
1445. Now, getting it back down...Copy !req
1446. that's the math
we don't know.Copy !req
1447. Yes, Katherine.Copy !req
1448. So the capsule will spin
around the Earth foreverCopy !req
1449. because there's nothing
to slow it down?Copy !req
1450. That's right.Copy !req
1451. Slowing it down at precisely
the right moment,Copy !req
1452. at precisely
the right amount,Copy !req
1453. that's the task.Copy !req
1454. Yes, Katherine.Copy !req
1455. So it needs to move
from an elliptical orbit...Copy !req
1456. to a parabolic orbit.Copy !req
1457. Yes.Copy !req
1458. That's the "Go/No-go."Copy !req
1459. Now at this point,
it's a pin head.Copy !req
1460. We bring him in too soon...Copy !req
1461. He burns up
on reentry.Copy !req
1462. That's right.Copy !req
1463. We bring him in
too late...Copy !req
1464. he's pushed
out of Earth's gravity.Copy !req
1465. And any changes to mass,
weight, speed, time...Copy !req
1466. distance, friction,
or a puff of wind...Copy !req
1467. would alter the "Go/No-go."Copy !req
1468. And we start
our calculations over.Copy !req
1469. Yes.Copy !req
1470. So we need to be able to
choose this reentry point.Copy !req
1471. Now this "Go/No-go,"
this has to be exact.Copy !req
1472. Sam.Copy !req
1473. These are the latest
Redstone numbersCopy !req
1474. in current capsule data.Copy !req
1475. Obviously, we know
the launch spot.Copy !req
1476. Thanks.Copy !req
1477. A Pentagon briefing
should illuminateCopy !req
1478. where the Navy
needs the recovery zone.Copy !req
1479. Then we work backwards
from there.Copy !req
1480. And the rest is on us,
so let's get to work.Copy !req
1481. Uh, Mr. Stafford.Copy !req
1482. What, Katherine?Copy !req
1483. If I could
attend the briefings,Copy !req
1484. I'd be more useful
to the project.Copy !req
1485. Pentagon briefings
are closed door.Copy !req
1486. Yes, but if we don't
have the informationCopy !req
1487. of the changes...Copy !req
1488. we can't keep up.Copy !req
1489. I need those changes
as they occur.Copy !req
1490. As you said,
it's a pin head.Copy !req
1491. Katherine, that's the job.Copy !req
1492. You asked for this assignment,Copy !req
1493. so just calculate
with what you have.Copy !req
1494. Or we'll find
someone who can.Copy !req
1495. Okay.Copy !req
1496. Attagirl.Copy !req
1497. What the hell are you doing?
You can't be in here.Copy !req
1498. Who are you?Copy !req
1499. I'm with
the West Computing Group.Copy !req
1500. Dorothy Vaughan, sir.Copy !req
1501. This is a very delicate
piece of equipment.Copy !req
1502. I'm sorry, sir.
I'm just trying to be helpful.Copy !req
1503. Uh-huh.
Bill, we've got numbers.Copy !req
1504. What kind of numbers?Copy !req
1505. Well, I'll be.Copy !req
1506. What's your name again?Copy !req
1507. Dorothy Vaughan.Copy !req
1508. Dorothy Vaughan.Copy !req
1509. Sir, the parameters
for Friendship 7.Copy !req
1510. Oh, this is all moot.Copy !req
1511. We're altering the
window on the capsule.Copy !req
1512. When did this happen?
Six minutes ago.Copy !req
1513. The math is changing.
Start over.Copy !req
1514. Sir, if I could attend the briefings,
I could stay current...Copy !req
1515. Katherine, we have
been through this.Copy !req
1516. It is not possible.Copy !req
1517. There is no protocol
for women attending.Copy !req
1518. There's no protocol
for a manCopy !req
1519. circling the Earth either, sir.Copy !req
1520. Okay. That is just
the way things are.Copy !req
1521. Colonel Glenn's
launch coordinates,Copy !req
1522. accounting for
the window change, sir.Copy !req
1523. I have told you this.Copy !req
1524. Computers don't
author reports. Fix it.Copy !req
1525. Those are my calculations.
My name should be on it.Copy !req
1526. That is not the way
this works.Copy !req
1527. Paul. What's
happening here?Copy !req
1528. Mr. Harrison, I would like
to attend today's briefing.Copy !req
1529. And why is that?Copy !req
1530. Sir, the data changes so fast.
The capsule changes.Copy !req
1531. The weight and the landing zonesCopy !req
1532. are all changing, every day.Copy !req
1533. I do my work, you attend
these briefings,Copy !req
1534. I have to start over.Copy !req
1535. Colonel Glenn launches
in a few weeks.Copy !req
1536. We don't have the math
figured out yet.Copy !req
1537. Why is it she can't attend?Copy !req
1538. Because she doesn't
have clearance, Al.Copy !req
1539. I cannot do
my work effectivelyCopy !req
1540. if I do not have
all of the dataCopy !req
1541. and all of the information
as soon as it's available.Copy !req
1542. I need to be in that room,
hearing what you hear.Copy !req
1543. Pentagon briefings
are not for civilians.Copy !req
1544. It requires
the highest clearance.Copy !req
1545. I feel like
I'm the best personCopy !req
1546. to present my calculations...Copy !req
1547. You're not gonna let this go, are you?
No, I am not.Copy !req
1548. And she is a woman.
There is no protocolCopy !req
1549. for a woman
attending these meetings.Copy !req
1550. Okay, I get that part, Paul.Copy !req
1551. But within these walls,Copy !req
1552. who makes the rules?Copy !req
1553. You, sir. You are the boss.Copy !req
1554. You just have
to act like one. Sir.Copy !req
1555. You keep quiet.Copy !req
1556. Thank you.Copy !req
1557. Good morning.Copy !req
1558. Gentlemen.Copy !req
1559. This is Katherine GobleCopy !req
1560. with our Trajectory
and Launch Window division.Copy !req
1561. Her work is pertinent
to today's proceedings.Copy !req
1562. Come on.Copy !req
1563. Wanna get her a chair?Copy !req
1564. We have a
confirmed launch window...Copy !req
1565. Get her a chair, please.
Yes, sir.Copy !req
1566. We have a
confirmed launch windowCopy !req
1567. for Friendship 7.Copy !req
1568. Let's discuss a landing zone.Copy !req
1569. The Navy needs
a singular landing zone.Copy !req
1570. 20 miles square is what we
can service for retrieval.Copy !req
1571. Outside of thatCopy !req
1572. we risk the capsule's recovery.Copy !req
1573. We'd like three possible
recovery areas.Copy !req
1574. We can't cover
half the damn ocean.Copy !req
1575. With all due respect,Copy !req
1576. our capsule's being
altered daily.Copy !req
1577. We're orbiting the Earth
at what speed now?Copy !req
1578. Uh...Copy !req
1579. 17,544 miles per hour...Copy !req
1580. at the time the rocket
delivers the capsuleCopy !req
1581. into low space orbit.Copy !req
1582. Well, that's one hell
of a speeding ticket.Copy !req
1583. Okay.Copy !req
1584. So we have
the vehicle's speed,Copy !req
1585. the launch window...Copy !req
1586. and for argument's sake,
the landing zoneCopy !req
1587. is the Bahamas.Copy !req
1588. Should be enough
to figure the "Go/No-go"?Copy !req
1589. Yeah, in theory, sir.Copy !req
1590. We need to be past
theory at this point.Copy !req
1591. We'll be able to
calculate a "Go/No-go"Copy !req
1592. with that information.Copy !req
1593. When exactly
is that gonna happen?Copy !req
1594. Katherine.Copy !req
1595. Have a go at it.Copy !req
1596. The "Go" point for re-entry
is 2,990 milesCopy !req
1597. from where we want
Colonel Glenn to land.Copy !req
1598. If we assume
that's the Bahamas...Copy !req
1599. at 17,544 miles per hour...Copy !req
1600. upon re-entry...Copy !req
1601. 370 feet...Copy !req
1602. at a descent angle...Copy !req
1603. of 46.56 degrees.Copy !req
1604. Distance...Copy !req
1605. velocity squared, sine...Copy !req
1606. gravity squared.Copy !req
1607. Sine, 32 feet.Copy !req
1608. And the distance would be...Copy !req
1609. 20,530,372 feet...Copy !req
1610. or 2,990 miles...Copy !req
1611. or 46.33 degrees.Copy !req
1612. Okay, so that puts
your landing zoneCopy !req
1613. at 5.0667 degrees North...Copy !req
1614. 77.3333 degrees West.Copy !req
1615. Which is here.Copy !req
1616. Right here.Copy !req
1617. Give or take
20 square miles.Copy !req
1618. I like her numbers.Copy !req
1619. Thank you.Copy !req
1620. That, of course,
is assumingCopy !req
1621. the capsule hits
the re-entry point exactly.Copy !req
1622. How do we ensure that?Copy !req
1623. That's the math we don't
have yet, gentlemen.Copy !req
1624. We're working on it.Copy !req
1625. Katherine.Copy !req
1626. What's it gonna take to make
this thing worth the price tag?Copy !req
1627. We're just getting up
to speed here, Mr. Harrison.Copy !req
1628. I need more manpower.Copy !req
1629. I need programmers,
folks to feed the cards.Copy !req
1630. Get them,
for crying out loud.Copy !req
1631. Okay.Copy !req
1632. You're the IBM man, right?
Yes, sir.Copy !req
1633. Go pull them out of the sky
if you have to.Copy !req
1634. Let's get ahead of this thing
or I'm not paying you.Copy !req
1635. Understood.Copy !req
1636. I got that one,
I got that one.Copy !req
1637. I'm not paying any of you.Copy !req
1638. Me?Copy !req
1639. Temporarily, yes.Copy !req
1640. We need the IBM
for Glenn's launch.Copy !req
1641. The lead engineer says
you're good with the cards,Copy !req
1642. programming and such.Copy !req
1643. What about the girls here?Copy !req
1644. Human computers can't
calculate an orbital flightCopy !req
1645. in the time we have.Copy !req
1646. They'll stay put for now.Copy !req
1647. What about after now?Copy !req
1648. After Glenn's launch,Copy !req
1649. NASA's dissolving
the computing groups.Copy !req
1650. I'm not accepting reassignmentCopy !req
1651. unless I bring my
ladies with me.Copy !req
1652. Excuse me?Copy !req
1653. We're gonna need a lot of
manpower to program that beast.Copy !req
1654. I can't do it alone.Copy !req
1655. My gals are ready.
They can do the work.Copy !req
1656. Ladies.Copy !req
1657. We've been reassigned.Copy !req
1658. Leave your calculators.Copy !req
1659. You won't need them
where we're going.Copy !req
1660. Welcome, ladies.Copy !req
1661. You know
what your job is, Paul?Copy !req
1662. Find the genius
among those geniuses.Copy !req
1663. To pull us all up.Copy !req
1664. We all get
to the peak togetherCopy !req
1665. or we don't
get there at all.Copy !req
1666. Yes.
Well, good night, sir.Copy !req
1667. I don't know what time
I'm coming home.Copy !req
1668. Class ends at nine.Copy !req
1669. You got something to say?Copy !req
1670. I thought
you might need these.Copy !req
1671. You can refill them with
any weight lead you want.Copy !req
1672. You see, you just
hit the top like this.Copy !req
1673. All right?
The lead comes out.Copy !req
1674. You put the new lead in...Copy !req
1675. and new pencil.Copy !req
1676. You gonna make a fine engineer.Copy !req
1677. You think so?Copy !req
1678. Yes.Copy !req
1679. And nobody dare stand
in the way...Copy !req
1680. of Mary Jackson's dreams.Copy !req
1681. Myself included.Copy !req
1682. Don't make me mad again.Copy !req
1683. Yes, ma'am.Copy !req
1684. And don't
make me late, either.Copy !req
1685. You gonna be late.
I'mma make you late.Copy !req
1686. You won't be late.Copy !req
1687. All right, gentlemen.Copy !req
1688. Tonight, we discussCopy !req
1689. Planck-Einstein
wavelength relationships.Copy !req
1690. Yes?Copy !req
1691. I'm Mary Jackson.Copy !req
1692. I'm enrolled.Copy !req
1693. Well, the curriculum
is not designedCopy !req
1694. for teaching a woman.Copy !req
1695. I imagine it's the same
as teaching a man.Copy !req
1696. I don't see a
colored section.Copy !req
1697. Should I just
take any seat?Copy !req
1698. Thank you.Copy !req
1699. Okay. Uh...Copy !req
1700. Planck-Einstein.Copy !req
1701. The problem...Copy !req
1702. is when the capsule moves
from an elliptical orbitCopy !req
1703. to a parabolic orbit.Copy !req
1704. There's no mathematical
formula for that.Copy !req
1705. Because we can calculate
launch and landing...Copy !req
1706. but without this conversionCopy !req
1707. the capsule stays in orbit,
we can't bring it back home.Copy !req
1708. Maybe we've been thinking
about this all wrong.Copy !req
1709. How's that?Copy !req
1710. Maybe it's not
new math at all.Copy !req
1711. It could be old math.Copy !req
1712. Something that looks
at the problem numerically,Copy !req
1713. and not theoretically.Copy !req
1714. Math is always dependable.Copy !req
1715. For you it is.Copy !req
1716. Euler's method.Copy !req
1717. Yes.Copy !req
1718. But that's ancient.
But it works.Copy !req
1719. It works numerically.Copy !req
1720. That's it.Copy !req
1721. Let's type it up.Copy !req
1722. Okay.Copy !req
1723. Huh.Copy !req
1724. Dorothy.Copy !req
1725. Mrs. Mitchell.Copy !req
1726. You're working late today.Copy !req
1727. Seems to always
happen that way.Copy !req
1728. Yes. Seems to.Copy !req
1729. Thank you.Copy !req
1730. I hear the IBM's
up to full capacity.Copy !req
1731. You certainly
have a knack for it.Copy !req
1732. My father taught me a thing
or two about mechanics.Copy !req
1733. You know, I have a few
girls in the East GroupCopy !req
1734. that have an interest
in learning more about it.Copy !req
1735. It is the future.Copy !req
1736. I may bring them by,
if it's all the same to you.Copy !req
1737. That's not my
decision, ma'am.Copy !req
1738. That would be
the supervisor's.Copy !req
1739. Yes, that's true.Copy !req
1740. Good night, Mrs. Mitchell.Copy !req
1741. You know, Dorothy.Copy !req
1742. Despite what you may think...Copy !req
1743. I have nothing against y'all.Copy !req
1744. I know.Copy !req
1745. I know you
probably believe that.Copy !req
1746. Good night,
Katherine.Copy !req
1747. Good night.Copy !req
1748. Mama!
Hey, babies.Copy !req
1749. Mama.
Hi.Copy !req
1750. Hey.Copy !req
1751. Oh, please don't tell me
I missed someone's birthday.Copy !req
1752. No, you didn't.Copy !req
1753. No, you didn't, Mama.Copy !req
1754. Madame, your seat.Copy !req
1755. Well, thank you.Copy !req
1756. Wait, is it my birthday?Copy !req
1757. No, Mama.Copy !req
1758. You all look so pretty.Copy !req
1759. Mama, what's going on?Copy !req
1760. Good evening, Katherine.Copy !req
1761. So you're not gonna
say anything?Copy !req
1762. It's not my place.Copy !req
1763. You, either?Copy !req
1764. Okay, I'm not gonna
do this all night.Copy !req
1765. Oh, mother of mercy.Copy !req
1766. That's for me.Copy !req
1767. Are you sad, Mama?
No.Copy !req
1768. It's okay, Mama.
He's a good man.Copy !req
1769. I know.Copy !req
1770. I just can't help it.Copy !req
1771. He hasn't even
asked you yet.Copy !req
1772. I know, but he is.Copy !req
1773. You are, right?Copy !req
1774. If y'all will let me.Copy !req
1775. Well, go on.
She's already crying.Copy !req
1776. Oh, hush.Copy !req
1777. This was my mother's ring.Copy !req
1778. It's beautiful.Copy !req
1779. She and my father
were married for...Copy !req
1780. For 52 years.Copy !req
1781. Figure it's about as lucky
a ring as you can get.Copy !req
1782. The day I met you,
I called my motherCopy !req
1783. and I said, "Mom, I met the
woman I want to marry."Copy !req
1784. What'd she say?Copy !req
1785. She said, "She must be
something, Jimmy.Copy !req
1786. "Really something."Copy !req
1787. Then what'd you say?Copy !req
1788. I said, "No.Copy !req
1789. "She's more than something.Copy !req
1790. "She's everything."Copy !req
1791. Now...Copy !req
1792. I planned on this being
more romantic.Copy !req
1793. I'll make that
up to you real soon.Copy !req
1794. It's okay.Copy !req
1795. But I know marrying youCopy !req
1796. includes marrying
your girls as well.Copy !req
1797. Amen to that.Copy !req
1798. I do.Copy !req
1799. I didn't ask you yet.Copy !req
1800. Hurry up.Copy !req
1801. Oh, my goodness.Copy !req
1802. Oh!Copy !req
1803. My babies. Look, girls,
isn't it beautiful?Copy !req
1804. Look, Mama.Copy !req
1805. The
Mercury-Atlas space vehicle...Copy !req
1806. which will put John Glenn,Copy !req
1807. the first American,
into Earth's orbit...Copy !req
1808. has already undergone
five unmanned flight tests.Copy !req
1809. NASA has confirmedCopy !req
1810. that the IBM 790
data processing system...Copy !req
1811. has been utilized to confirm
all of the mission 's...Copy !req
1812. launch and recovery
system calculations.Copy !req
1813. The modifications
and equipment installationsCopy !req
1814. are progressing on schedule.Copy !req
1815. Yes, sir. Right in here.Copy !req
1816. You wanted
to see me, sir?Copy !req
1817. Have a seat.Copy !req
1818. Is there something wrong,
Mr. Harrison?Copy !req
1819. No, there's nothing wrong.Copy !req
1820. In fact, our IBM
is churning out numbersCopy !req
1821. in fractions of the time
any human can.Copy !req
1822. Present company included.Copy !req
1823. That's good then.Copy !req
1824. Maybe.Copy !req
1825. The thing is,
the Cape's now insistingCopy !req
1826. on doing all the backups
down there, on site.Copy !req
1827. I see.Copy !req
1828. So we won't be
running backups here.Copy !req
1829. And truth be told, we can't
keep up with that IBM anyhow.Copy !req
1830. Long story short,
we no longer needCopy !req
1831. a computer in this department.Copy !req
1832. Progress
is a double-edged sword.Copy !req
1833. Let's have you report back
to the West Group for now.Copy !req
1834. We'll see if we can find
another assignment.Copy !req
1835. Thank you, sir.Copy !req
1836. Katherine, I'm...Copy !req
1837. I'm sorry about this.Copy !req
1838. It's out of my hands,
if you can believe that.Copy !req
1839. I understand.Copy !req
1840. Katherine.Copy !req
1841. We heard you got engaged.Copy !req
1842. Yes.Copy !req
1843. That's thoughtful of you.Copy !req
1844. They're lovely.Copy !req
1845. Mr. Harrison's idea, really.Copy !req
1846. Although I suspect his
wife did the picking out.Copy !req
1847. Can't imagine he has an eye
for anything but numbers.Copy !req
1848. Now you have
a great wedding.Copy !req
1849. You did good work
around here, Katherine.Copy !req
1850. Hello there.
Good to see you.Copy !req
1851. Hi, Reverend. How you doing?
How are you?Copy !req
1852. I don't think I felt a thing
the first time I did this.Copy !req
1853. I was so nervous.Copy !req
1854. You're just
as beautifulCopy !req
1855. as you were back then.Copy !req
1856. - You think so?
- Mmm.Copy !req
1857. Just a little older.Copy !req
1858. And a little fuller.Copy !req
1859. But you look good.Copy !req
1860. Well, here we go. Again.Copy !req
1861. Project Mercury...Copy !req
1862. named after the winged messengerCopy !req
1863. of the gods in
Roman mythology. Today,Copy !req
1864. three years, two months,
and three days afterwards...Copy !req
1865. we're ready,
after 10 scheduled attempts...Copy !req
1866. Attagirl.Copy !req
1867. to try again to put
our first man into orbit...Copy !req
1868. to put Colonel John Glenn
into orbit.Copy !req
1869. Colonel John Glenn will be the
first American to orbit the Earth.Copy !req
1870. As you can see, there areCopy !req
1871. thousands of people here todayCopy !req
1872. to witness this historic event.Copy !req
1873. Paul, something's off here.Copy !req
1874. These landing coordinates
don't match yesterday's.Copy !req
1875. The IBM just ran them.Copy !req
1876. Well, then the IBM
was wrong yesterday.Copy !req
1877. Right?Copy !req
1878. Or the damn thing's wrong today.Copy !req
1879. Paul, am I right?Copy !req
1880. It appears so.Copy !req
1881. The IBM's been spot-on
up to this point, John.Copy !req
1882. But we'll run it again,
see what it comes up with.Copy !req
1883. Look, I'm gonna be
honest with you, Al.Copy !req
1884. When I fly,
I fly the machine.Copy !req
1885. And right now it seems like
this machine is flying me.Copy !req
1886. We're on the same page, John.Copy !req
1887. Our guys are on it.Copy !req
1888. Let's get the girl
to check the numbers.Copy !req
1889. - The girl?
- Yes, sir.Copy !req
1890. You mean Katherine?Copy !req
1891. Yes, sir. The smart one.Copy !req
1892. I mean, she says they're good,
I'm ready to go.Copy !req
1893. All right. We'll get into it.Copy !req
1894. Roger.Copy !req
1895. Sam.Copy !req
1896. Go find Katherine Goble.Copy !req
1897. She needs to verify
Glenn's "Go/No-go,"Copy !req
1898. or we're staying
on the ground.Copy !req
1899. Yes, sir.Copy !req
1900. I'm looking for Katherine Goble.Copy !req
1901. It's Katherine Johnson now.Copy !req
1902. They need you to verify
these coordinates.Copy !req
1903. and tourists have poured
into Cocoa Beach for weeks.Copy !req
1904. Took this whole area
surrounding Cape CanaveralCopy !req
1905. and Florida, really.Copy !req
1906. And all around the country,
it's as if time...Copy !req
1907. All right, give her
some space. Let her work.Copy !req
1908. as we await
Colonel John Glenn's launch.Copy !req
1909. A truly historic day
for America.Copy !req
1910. The country has waited
for several months,Copy !req
1911. through many failed unmanned
Atlas rocket testsCopy !req
1912. and 10 scheduled
manned attempts...Copy !req
1913. which were canceled
for various mechanicalCopy !req
1914. or system complications.Copy !req
1915. Even the weather...Copy !req
1916. All the final tests and checksCopy !req
1917. are being conducted.Copy !req
1918. John Glenn is ready to board
the Friendship 7.Copy !req
1919. But today we remain
truly optimistic,Copy !req
1920. and it's a "Go" day
in all regards.Copy !req
1921. The capsule is ready.Copy !req
1922. The rocket itself is A-Okay,Copy !req
1923. and the weather here
at Cape Canaveral...Copy !req
1924. Anything from Langley?
Not yet.Copy !req
1925. We are being toldCopy !req
1926. that Mission Control at NASACopy !req
1927. is conducting
a final check of the launchCopy !req
1928. and recovery coordinates.Copy !req
1929. Including the "Go/No-go"
calculations...Copy !req
1930. so crucialCopy !req
1931. to a safe and successful
launch and recovery.Copy !req
1932. After years of
waiting, and months of delay,Copy !req
1933. Colonel Glenn is finally ready
for that space flight...Copy !req
1934. that we've been waiting for
with so much anticipation.Copy !req
1935. These last-minute
checks could indicateCopy !req
1936. a hesitancy on NASA's behalf.Copy !req
1937. But let us say,
without reservation...Copy !req
1938. that the safety
of Colonel John GlennCopy !req
1939. is paramount to the mission...Copy !req
1940. and to the nation itself.Copy !req
1941. No, sir.
We're still a go.Copy !req
1942. Yes, sir.Copy !req
1943. That's it.Copy !req
1944. What the devil are you doing?
Are you taking a break?Copy !req
1945. Yes!Copy !req
1946. Say yeahCopy !req
1947. YeahCopy !req
1948. Say, yeah!Copy !req
1949. YeahCopy !req
1950. Don't you know,
we never everCopy !req
1951. Never know
what makes us majorCopy !req
1952. Your and my alchemyCopy !req
1953. Yes, we canCopy !req
1954. One and one equals threeCopy !req
1955. Yes, we canCopy !req
1956. I feel it like lightning
in the forestCopy !req
1957. Yes, we canCopy !req
1958. Pick a number, pick a note
Harmonize the chordsCopy !req
1959. You're my woman
don't need anotherCopy !req
1960. Get behind the other
We can lift each otherCopy !req
1961. It's all very well
that we may never...Copy !req
1962. Whoo!Copy !req
1963. Do you have the time?Copy !req
1964. Yes, we canCopy !req
1965. Like a solar system
they're surrounded by youCopy !req
1966. Yes, we canCopy !req
1967. Pick a number, pick a note
Harmonize the chordsCopy !req
1968. You're my woman
don't need anotherCopy !req
1969. Get behind the other
we can lift each otherCopy !req
1970. It's all very well
that we may never...Copy !req
1971. Whoo!Copy !req
1972. You're my woman
Don't need anotherCopy !req
1973. Get behind the other
We can lift each otherCopy !req
1974. Whoo!Copy !req
1975. Sir.Copy !req
1976. Pad 14.Copy !req
1977. Katherine.Copy !req
1978. Come on.Copy !req
1979. Sir, we've got
Pad 14 on the box.Copy !req
1980. All right.
Let me in there.Copy !req
1981. This is Langley, we have
the coordinates confirmed.Copy !req
1982. Stand by, Langley.Copy !req
1983. We can confirm...Copy !req
1984. the "Go/No-go" point
for re-entry is...Copy !req
1985. 16.11984 degrees latitude...Copy !req
1986. - 165.2356 degrees longitude.Copy !req
1987. The launch window is a go.Copy !req
1988. The landing coordinates match.Copy !req
1989. That is very good news, Al.Copy !req
1990. It's a little hard to trust something
you can't look in the eyes.Copy !req
1991. That's right, Colonel.Copy !req
1992. Katherine did manage
to calculateCopy !req
1993. a few decimal points further
than that hunk of metal.Copy !req
1994. I will take every digit
you got.Copy !req
1995. Be sure to thank her for me.Copy !req
1996. Gentlemen,
let's launch this rocket.Copy !req
1997. Good luck, Friendship 7.Copy !req
1998. Godspeed, Langley.Copy !req
1999. Here
at Cape Canaveral...Copy !req
2000. the countdown has resumed...Copy !req
2001. as Colonel John Glenn...Copy !req
2002. is now aboard
the Friendship 7...Copy !req
2003. high above the
Atlas rocket on Pad 14.Copy !req
2004. A height of over 93 feet.Copy !req
2005. So far, the countdown is...Copy !req
2006. These are pictures
from Cape Canaveral, Florida.Copy !req
2007. The gantry is now moving back.Copy !req
2008. We are go for launch.Copy !req
2009. The Mercury
spacecraft umbilical is out.Copy !req
2010. T-minus 10 seconds,
and counting.Copy !req
2011. Water systems, go.
Mercury capsule, go.Copy !req
2012. Eight, seven...Copy !req
2013. Six, five...
Ready engine. Start.Copy !req
2014. four...Copy !req
2015. three, two...
Good Lord, ride all the way.Copy !req
2016. One, zero.Copy !req
2017. Ignition.Copy !req
2018. Lift off.Copy !req
2019. The M-A 6 vehicle
has lifted off.Copy !req
2020. It's getting
a little bumpy along here.Copy !req
2021. Roger that.
You are in Max Q.Copy !req
2022. Roger that, CAPCOM.Copy !req
2023. All systems
are reported go.Copy !req
2024. 20 seconds to SECO.Copy !req
2025. The trajectory
is still A-Okay.Copy !req
2026. Go for SECO.Copy !req
2027. Roger that, CAPCOM.
Go for SECO.Copy !req
2028. Zero G and I feel fine.Copy !req
2029. John Glenn reports
everything looks good.Copy !req
2030. Oh, that view is tremendous!Copy !req
2031. Roger that, Friendship 7.Copy !req
2032. You are go for orbit.Copy !req
2033. Thank you, CAPCOM.Copy !req
2034. All right.
Ten and a half hours to go.Copy !req
2035. If we make seven
round trips.Copy !req
2036. I could use a coffee.Copy !req
2037. Well, as we
approach the end of the dayCopy !req
2038. here on
the Eastern Seaboard...Copy !req
2039. Colonel Glenn is just
beginning his third orbit...Copy !req
2040. three-quarters of the way
across the African continent.Copy !req
2041. We see he's currently
over Zanzibar...Copy !req
2042. which is the next
tracking station coming up.Copy !req
2043. Thankfully,
the F riendship 7 capsule is...Copy !req
2044. New assignment
came down the pike.Copy !req
2045. Always changing
around here.Copy !req
2046. It's hard to keep up.Copy !req
2047. Seems like they're going
to need a permanent teamCopy !req
2048. to feed that IBM.Copy !req
2049. How big of a team?Copy !req
2050. Thirty, to start.Copy !req
2051. Thank you for the information,
Mrs. Mitchell.Copy !req
2052. You're quite welcome,
Mrs. Vaughan.Copy !req
2053. Hmm.Copy !req
2054. We have a warning light.Copy !req
2055. CAPCOM 7,
I have a warning light.Copy !req
2056. Stand by, Seven.Copy !req
2057. Sir, we have a warning light.Copy !req
2058. What are we
looking at, Paul?Copy !req
2059. Uh...Copy !req
2060. The heat shield
may have come loose.Copy !req
2061. Seven, will you confirm
the landing bagCopy !req
2062. is in the off position?Copy !req
2063. Affirmative, CAPCOM.Copy !req
2064. Al, we need
to get him down now.Copy !req
2065. He could burn up
on re-entry.Copy !req
2066. Come on, babies.Copy !req
2067. There is a man in space.Copy !req
2068. And we don't want to miss it,
so we gotta hurry.Copy !req
2069. Something's wrong
with Glenn!Copy !req
2070. What's going on?
Come on, let's go.Copy !req
2071. Come on. Hurry up, now.
Y'all follow me.Copy !req
2072. We just learned
that the Friendship 7...Copy !req
2073. is in danger of losing
its heat shield.Copy !req
2074. Have you heard
any banging noises...Copy !req
2075. or anything of this type
at higher rates?Copy !req
2076. That is a negative, CAPCOM.Copy !req
2077. This poses a grave danger
to the mission.Copy !req
2078. Tell them not to jettison
the retro-package.Copy !req
2079. NASA is confirming there isCopy !req
2080. some sort of malfunctionCopy !req
2081. with the capsule's
heat shield...Copy !req
2082. and it may not stay in place.Copy !req
2083. If the heat shield's loose...Copy !req
2084. the retro-package straps
might hold it in place.Copy !req
2085. Will that work?Copy !req
2086. It will work.Copy !req
2087. It will hold it until he
reaches the "Go/No-go" point.Copy !req
2088. It will work.Copy !req
2089. Al, he has
to override the.05G.Copy !req
2090. Do it.Copy !req
2091. Friendship 7...Copy !req
2092. we're recommending
that the retro-package not...Copy !req
2093. I repeat, not be jettisoned.Copy !req
2094. This means that you will have
to override the. 05G switch.Copy !req
2095. Roger.Copy !req
2096. Is there a reason
for this? Over.Copy !req
2097. Stand by, Seven.Copy !req
2098. Not at this time, Seven.Copy !req
2099. Roger that, Command.Copy !req
2100. I will make
a manual.05G entry...Copy !req
2101. and bring the scope in. Over.Copy !req
2102. He knows.Copy !req
2103. Without a heat shield...Copy !req
2104. there is no way that
Colonel Glenn can get backCopy !req
2105. through the Earth's atmosphere.Copy !req
2106. The heat is simply
too overpowering.Copy !req
2107. A malfunction in the automatic
control system...Copy !req
2108. is causing the spacecraft
to yaw in a skid-like fashion.Copy !req
2109. Thus putting the Friendship 7'sCopy !req
2110. re-entry point in jeopardy.Copy !req
2111. Even now, Colonel Glenn is streaking
toward the United States.Copy !req
2112. And he must begin
the retro-sequenceCopy !req
2113. 300 miles west of California...Copy !req
2114. if he's to reenter
the atmosphereCopy !req
2115. at the designated point...Copy !req
2116. and land in the recovery areaCopy !req
2117. 700 miles south
and east of Florida.Copy !req
2118. Stay tuned to this station
for further details.Copy !req
2119. You're going to be
using fly-by-wireCopy !req
2120. for re-entry.Copy !req
2121. You'll need to maintain
a zero angle, over.Copy !req
2122. Roger. I'm on fly-by-wire.Copy !req
2123. Back it up with manual. Over.Copy !req
2124. Keep talking to him.Copy !req
2125. Roger.Copy !req
2126. The weather,
the recovery area...Copy !req
2127. three foot waves,
10 miles visibility.Copy !req
2128. CAPCOM, you're going out.Copy !req
2129. He's crossing the
communication blackout zone.Copy !req
2130. There's a real fireball outside.Copy !req
2131. It's getting
a little hot in here.Copy !req
