Took both my daughters to this movie, both of them are biracial. It inspired my youngest to get into Engineering. She is a top Engineering Student at Miami University, School of Engineering in Ohio with a full ride scholarship. This year, she was awarded additional money because of her success in Engineering. Her Degree is in Software Engineering. As a Freshman, she was hired as an Intern at GE Aerospace in Cincinnati, Ohio for the Summer. And will be going on her third year this Summer. What made that unusual, is they rarely hire Freshman, let a lone Sophmores, but the Ge recruiters were impressed. She is a member of the organization called N.S.B.E. National Society of Black Engineers. Her Grandfather, was one of the few black men that worked as an Engineer for Nasa back in the 1960s and 1970s. I have a picture of him working on some project at Nasa. He told me that you would not believe the things he saw. Meaning, a micorwave before it became a household item and many other things.

Their is a " Hidden Figures" black man version of a story like this who worked on the Manhattan Project. They were instrumental in the development of the Atomic bomb. Their were 12 of these brilliant black men if I'm not mistaken and one in particular was accepted to the University of Chicago at the age of just 13 and is to this day still the youngest student to have ever been accepted there. His mind was unbelievable. The other black guys were brilliant as well. You should tell your daughters to read up on them. But a movie needs to be made about them. Matt Damon made a movie about Oppenheimer being like the brain behind the Manhattan Project although I haven't seen movie because I already knew it will hide the truth From what I've researched the man that was accept to college at just 13 was the true Hidden Figure behind the scenes. I can't think of his name now but if you want it to share with your daughters I can look it up I saved the page of him on my computer. Ironically, he also retired in Hampton, Virginia like two of the women in this movie.

No recognition? Look up the paperwork for the departments they worked in. Their names are all over it. Even some buildings named and programs after the three. I agreee that lots of that was BS. My mom raised me to be fair above all else. And lots of things were not fair. But lots of what was said was the same thing anyone employed there would have been told. "Calculators don't get the header" "Engineers need continued education" "You took the job and that what it takes to do it".. The coffee, Library, Bus and bathroom did peve me a bit.. btw.. little bit of history.. talking about the bus part. Did you know that Rosa Parks was married when she rode the bus at that time? And they had a car! JS

There was a video of the real Katherine Johnson in her late 90s and in a wheelchair being wheeled out onto the stage by her daughter to receive credit for this movie. The entire audience of celebrities gave her a long standing ovation. Her daughter stooped down and said softly in her ear, "Say thanks." Katherine waited a moment and said clearly, "Thank you." She clearly knew the praise was for her and her work. I wept just watching that. Not sure if it was shown at the end of the film, but one of the NASA buildings was renamed to honor her. Beautiful.

Yes and no. The bathrooms were segregated and whilst the person portrayed didn't have to experience this humiliation, it did happen to one of the other women. Namely, Mary Jackson the engineer. So whilst the movie isn't a recreation of history, what it does, is amalgamate real experiences of the West Computers into the story of the main character.

She said the moviemakers included racism in order to make the story "more exciting" and she didn't wholly agree with it.

Dorothy Vaughn coined the term "bug" in reference to computer malfunction. There was a moth in her IBM. I loved learning about her in my BASIC programming class way back in 1985.

@kirkdarling4120 4 ай бұрын

No, Grace Hopper coined the term bug. Grace Hopper was an American computer scientist, mathematician, and United States Navy rear admiral. One of the first programmers of the Harvard Mark I computer, she was a pioneer of computer programming. Grace Hopper invented COBOL and also coined "bug"...because she actually found a bug in the computer and jokingly blamed it for a code error.

THOMAS EDISON. In 1878, Thomas Edison wrote in a letter to an associate: “You were partly correct, I did find a ‘bug’ in my apparatus, but it was not in the telephone proper. It was of the genus ‘callbellum.’ The insect appears to find conditions for its existence in all call apparatus of telephones.” Grace Hopper was born in 1906.

He was very proud of his work on this film as he tried to make it as accurate as possible from a mathmatics standpoint.

When this came out, a young Black woman I know said that if she had known about these women when she was in school she might have been inspired to study mathematics. At first, I found that hard to believe but then I realized that as a white male, I have always had people who were like me in every profession and field of study. I don't know what it like to feel like I might be excluded from something because nobody who looked like me was excelling at it.

*I am sorry, sir, but “excluding” and simply not being surrounded by people to influence you on a particular path are two VERY different things. Please do not make this a race issue, because it most certainly is not. The young black woman chose the path she wanted (and was probably influenced to), and you chose the one that you wanted and was also influenced to. If she needs to see black scientists in films in order to choose a profession, then that is a HER problem and not a societal one. If she would have simply picked up a book or used Google and KZfaq, she could have been influenced by numerous scientific minds such as, Ronald McNair, Margaret S. Collins, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Mae C. Jemison, George Washington Carver, Marie Maynard Daly, Emmett Chappelle, Joan Murrell Owens, Herman Branson, Alma Levant Hayden, Ruth Ella Moore, Walter, Lincoln Hawkins, Jewel Plumber Cobb, etc. Also, it is quite pitiful (and telling) that you would capitalise the ‘B’ in black, but used a lowercase ‘w’ when describing your own race.* 🤦🏽‍♀

@AdeboFunkyVoodoo 4 ай бұрын

@@EdgarAllanJo no she couldn't have been influenced by those people because she was likely never made aware that they existed. These are not the people that most people are tought about. It is a race issue. It is a societal issue. The outrage over schools teaching black history that we see today clearly indicates that. The laws being passed in states like Florida, which have led to parents having to give written permission for their children to be allowed to read a book which was simply written by a black author prove that. That slavery in America must be taught as having been a positive thing for black people proves that. It would be lovely if you were correct. Sadly, you aren't. The vast majority of aft8can Americans grew up in a society where their only black role models were civil rights activists, athletes and musicians. The second we start to teach kids in schools that black people are and can be more than this, they make laws to ban it for being subversive and one half of the political spectrum have opposing it as a key policy in their Presidential election campaign.

My father worked in the shuttle program early in his career, and after I left the Air Force we settled on the space coast in Florida, where we regularly watch Falcon-9 launches from our back yard. Every time one goes up, I think of this movie...of all the hidden people whose tireless efforts, sacrifices, hardships, and tenacity made it possible to do the seemingly miraculous things we do nowadays. The women portrayed in this movie endured things most of us couldn't imagine. Not only did they survive and overcome, they excelled. Nobody's perfect, but if we all try to be just a little bit better today, imagine what we could do tomorrow. So glad you reacted to this one.

I loved Mary. Early in the movie when Katherine said, “no one wants to go to jail behind your mouth”, I knew she was the “sassy one”. 😂

I love both the social as well as technical sides of this film. If you want more about the birth of the space program, I HIGHLY recommend 'The Right Stuff' -- it's long, but well worth the time.

RE-ENTRY BLACKOUT: generally, for those capsule designs, reentry communications blackout ranged from 3-7-ish minutes. apollo 13 was a little longer than normal because they had a very shallow angle when compared to missions where everything went closer to plan. absolutely stunning and fantastic film! casting was amazing! i love that these fine ladies are finally getting their time in the sun for their massive contribution to the space race. it's sad that most of america hated the people who were actually behind our successes back then, and it's even sadder that so much of that hatred is still here.

Love this reaction! As a native of the 757 and the child of a retired NASA employee who knew all three ladies, I was excited to see this movie. As everyone here has said the movie was enjoyable and inspiring. As enjoyable and inspiring as the movie is, the book is as inspiring or maybe more inspiring than the movie. There are stories that the movie does not include or events that didn’t happen the way the movie presented it (ie Katherine Johnson didn’t have to go across the Center to use the bathroom, that was Mary Jackson’s experience), and a fourth that the movie doesn’t highlight.

LOVE this movie and, as a sixty-three year old man, I don't remember any of the 1962 space travel, personally, (since I was only 2), but, I do remember a lot of racism, being raised outside of Memphis, TN. My family never passively sat by and allowed it, though. My father was a career Naval officer and always said, "There is no color in the military but, red, white and blue." He also would instill in my brother and me that race doesn't matter. All that matters is character.

Remember when someone asked John Glenn what he was thinking as he sat on that launching pad. His response: "I couldn't help thinking that every part on this rocket was provided by the lowest bidder"....;) This is the best movie I've seen in years.

Amazing film. I couldn’t believe that I was almost 50 before I knew of this story. This is part of very important history with NASA and the time period it happened and also for women and especially Black women. I didn’t see it when it was released but several years later and was blown away by these actresses. Everyone should be made to watch in school especially young Black girls and see that anything is possible no matter the odds. These women altered the space program in ways that were tremendous and extremely important.

I'm a white British male and this movie blew my mind and really opened my eyes, to the bull that African Americans had to go through and the fact that not many people even knew till now that the space race would have been a one sided affair without these outstanding ladies...this movie will for ever be in my top ten greatest movies of all time....outstanding...you need to watch Green Book next...it's just as wonderful as Hidden Figures

Fun fact. After the French Revolution, a mathematician, by the name of Gaspard Clair François Marie Riche de Prony, was charged with producing math tables to help with measurements and standards in France. Inspired by the burgeoning Industrial Revolution, he decided he could produce them faster if he employed a handful of scientists and engineers who figured out how the tables had to made and be calculated. He then employed several lower skilled (cheaper) workers to use those formulas to crunch a bunch of numbers and fill in the tables. These workers were referred to as computers, like the women in this movie were referred to. What is interesting is that Gaspard's "computers" were unemployed hairdressers (due to the French Revolution).

I grew up a couple miles from this NASA, in fact, my mom was trained on the mainframe by Dot (Dorothy). There was always a really collegial atmosphere at this NASA (from the 70s on when I knew it)where they really didn't give a crap where you were from as long as you were competent. People in our area were from India, Poland, Iran, Germany, and other places.

Taraji P. Henson gave SUCH a beautiful performance in this film. All three of them did, ofc, but the main focus of the movie was on Mrs. Johnson, and Ms. Henson played her with so much grace and humility. I adore this movie.

I got to see this movie multiple times in the theaters, and I had to take multiple people to watch this with me. 😂❤ WORTH. EVERY. PENNY.

"Hidden Figures" is a movie based on the Book by Margot Lee Shetterly. It's a play on words. It's about black women "computers" at NASA Langley who were calculating figures and the like for the Mercury space program at the time.

Women have been involved in math and computing from the start. I hadn’t heard about Katherine Johnson but her work was classified. But as a computer science major I heard about Ada Lovelace, one of the first computer programmers writing code for a theoretical mechanical computer that hadn’t even been built yet. And Grace Hopper was one of the first programmers and credited with creating a more human readable programming language which became COBOL, a business programming language still used today.
