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

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

Completely agree! Not trying to sound contrarian, but there are at least some women on youtube reacting to films that constantly sexualize the men in films also.

I read somewhere that said the real Katherine Johnson didn’t run half a mile to the colored restrooms. She basically said fuck it and used the white ones 🤣

[@bea3ce687]

Almost: the bathrooms weren't designated for any specifc "color", so she just used them. And nobody cared. Basically there was no drama around the bathrooms at all. She even declared that she didn't particularly feel segregation at Nasa, not like outside.

[@sheilaomalley4055]

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

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

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

[@arc7375]

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

What I prefer in that type of movies, it's when they tell us in the end, what happened to the protagonists after the events and they show pictures of them. I don't know if you knew it but the real Katherine Johnson was the last Hidden Figure who was still alive when the movie came out. She died three years ago at 101 years old.

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

Fun fact: he met with Queen Elizabeth II, and the Queen, contrary to etiquette, took a souvenir photo with him, citing the fact that he was not an ordinary, earthly person, but a heavenly one, and therefore there was no violation of etiquette.

To touch on the “We probably didn’t go to the moon” conspiracy. The movie & film industry debunked the conspiracy because the technology to do a fake live continuous film broadcast for the 11 hours did not exist and wouldn’t exist for decades. They also said that just the film alone would have required multiple football arenas to store it. It was a very fascinating deep dive on all aspects of the conspiracy.

To be fair computers were a thing long before actual the computer machine. So being a computer was on par as being called a doctor or and engineer or a librarian.

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

Kevin Costner - Tjn Cup (golf), Dances with Wolves, Waterworld, Bull Durham (baseball), Field of Dreams (baseball), Yellowstone (Paramount+ TV) plus myriad others, including many historical and many westerns. The Bodyguard, with Whitney Houston, and, a favorite of mine, the Upside of Anger.

[@pattipalmer7743]

Love The Upside of Anger, too!

[@Stephanie-es7wv]

A Perfect World! His best performance alongside John Dutton in Yellowstone IMO.

I remember watching Barack Obama award her the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Full body chills!

I get chills every time I see tarajis performance during the bathroom part. You should definitely check out imitation game it's an amazing true story about Alan Turing

Gud Grissom did die... but it was Apollo 1, during a test on the pad when a fire broke out inside the cabin. The bitter irony was that his Mercury capsule was lost when the door prematurely opened, so it was redesigned, one that made it impossible for the Apollo astronauts to open the door during the fure (though they only had maybe 10 seconds).

Finally, so glad you guys react to one of my favorite movies

The part about John Glenn saying he wouldn't go unless Katherine Johnson agreed with the numbers is true.

[@Huntress59]

You must see The Right Stuff to fully understand the space race . Then after that see Apollo 13

[@michelletaylor4916]

The movie Space Camp for fun. Especially since you don’t know how shuttles “rockets” land today 😊

[@jaygatz4335]

I loved this film - very entertaining and satisfying. The scene where Mahershala Ali proposes really was heart-touching.

[@kayliy1]

[@veronicakramlik6880]

Apollo 13 is another great space movie worth a watch.

[@sexishlut]

You guys are on such a good roll with these movies lately such bangersss

[@strangeturtle5947]

This is one of my fave movies ever. ❤❤

Great choice to react to. Judging by your reactions to The Help and Hidden Figures, I strongly recommend Fried Green Tomatoes (1991, Mary Stuart Masterson, Mary Louise Parker, Kathy Bates, Cicely Tyson, Chris O'Donnell) which was big at the Oscars, and A Time to Kill (1996, Sandra Bullock, Matthew McConaughey, Samuel L. Jackson, Kiefer Sutherland, Donald Sutherland) which was based on a fantastic John Grisham novel. If you're willing to explore further, Mississippi Burning (1988, Willem Dafoe, Gene Hackman, Francis McDormand) is another great movie [true story] based on a tragedy that took place in the 60s during the peak of the US civil rights movement.

Mrs. Katherine and her husband were married up until his death in 2019, she passed away a year later.

So glad you guys reacted to this movie. The only issue I had was the volume of the movie. Was hard to sync with your reaction and what was being said. Your volume was loud and clear. It would be great if you could increase the movie volumn and the size of the movie instead of that little oval. But you all gave wonderful heartfelt insights following the conclusion of the movie; well done. It made me subscribe.

Kevin Costner was in The Bodyguard,Field of Dreams ,Draft Day.

[@michelletaylor4916]

Field of Dreams is an excellent movie. If you haven’t seen it yet you should.
