Hidden Figures Page #3

on the posterior side abutting

the retro-boosters.

Conclusion?

The area closest to the boosters

is closest to the heat.

Coupled with rising temperatures

on reentry,

the contacts soften.

We could consider another fastener

other than bolts.

Yes!

Yes.

Theres another opening in

the Engineer Training Program.

Flat head rivets would reduce wind drag.

Mary! a person with an engineers

mind should be an engineer.

You cant be a Computer

the rest of your life.

Mr. Zielinski.

Im a Negro woman.

Im not gonna to entertain the impossible!

Then Im a polish Jew whose parents

died in a Nazi prison camp.

Now Im standing beneath a space ship,

thats going to carry an astronaut

to the stars.

I think we can say,

we are living the impossible.

Let me ask you..

If you were a white male,

Would you wish to be an engineer?

I wouldnt have to.

Id already be one.

Skirts must be worn past the knee.

Sweaters are preferred to blouses.

No jewelry.

A simple pearl necklace is the exception.

Your supervisor is Mr. Al Harrison.

Director of the Space Task Group.

write research,

proof calculations, so forth.

Dont talk to Mr. Harrison lest

he talks to you.

Not many Computers last

more than a few days,

Hes been through a dozen

in as many months.

Come on! Keep up!

I think it's a little faster to run here!

Your clearance.

Theyve never had a colored in here before,

Katherine.

Dont embarrass me.

This wasnt emptied last night.

Im sorry. Im not the..

Curses on me!

Excuse me, maam.

Mr. Harrisons Computer reporting.

Take the desk in the back.

Ill get you work in a..

Bit.

Mr. Harrison wont warm up to you,

dont expect it.

Do your work, keep your head down.

Thank you.

Go on. Get settled.

Well..

Why are we still losing shingles off

the heat shield?

Well, Were working with a

prototype of the capsule, Al.

There is one third the size..

- And I get that. So..

Well, do we need to turn

our million dollar fan down, Karl?

- Turn it down?

- No, I don't think...

Hey! That was a joke.

Paul. If the heat shield comes off,

What'do gonna happens to our astronaut?

I know.

So were gonna..

Then come up with a solve, right?

Yes, sir. Were working on it.

Ruth. Whats the status on my Computer?

Shes right behind you, Mr. Harrison.

Does she handle how's Analytic Geometry?

Absolutely. And she speaks.

Yes, sir. I do.

- Which one?

- Both.

Geometry and speaking.

Ruth. Give me that.

Do you think you..

You think you can find me the Frenet frame

for this data,

Using the GramSchmidt...

With Orthogonalization algorithm.

Yes, sir.

I prefer it over Euclidean coordinates.

OK. Good.

Good. Then, Im going to need it

by the end of the day.
