Hidden Figures

This film reminded me of when I was learning Fortran. It was on a Cyber that took up a whole building and you had to wait in a queue for the punch card machine then you waited in another queue to get your card deck submitted for input.  In this film there was a magic 20 or so cards that produced a whole set of rocket trajectories. Poetic license at its best.

Those were the days
