See this movie

I saw a really great movie today. It's called "Hidden Figures" and it deals with the early days of the US space race. I had no idea how much of the calculating / computing of trajectories etc. was still being done manually when the space program was started. I enjoyed seeing the early - fills a whole large room - IBM computer with punch cards which reminded me of the earliest days in my husband's computer software career. Of course, on a more human level it was the story of some really amazing people, including a lot of women, who made it all happen. I'm not at all surprised that this movie received several Academy Award nominations. It was really very good. How long has it been since you applauded at the end of a movie in a theater. The audience did today.
