Trivia: What film depicts the women behind NASA’s early success in space?
Interstellar
Hidden Figures
One Small Step
Ad Astra
The correct answer is Hidden Figures
So why is this answer correct? : The Oscar-nominated 2016 movie “Hidden Figures” centers around three Black women, Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and Mary Jackson, who worked at NASA during the Space Race. All three were talented mathematicians who became instrumental to John Glenn’s launch into space in 1962. Later — in the movie’s epilogue and real life — Johnson went on to calculate the trajectories for the Apollo 11 lunar landing, reportedly calling it her greatest contribution to space exploration.
