The Right Stuff, Apollo 13, and Hidden Figures are a trilogy, and nobody gon change my mind.

Jeff K.

Man would I love to see them do The Right Stuff. I know the run time is a bit intimidating for some people, but for me, it's one of the most flawless/greatest movies ever made.

Helly R

What about First Man? Quadrilogy.

Robert Cooper

First Man is bad, though. So it doesn't get included. :P

Robert Cooper

I have a rant about The Right Stuff, but I won't pull that string right now. 😝

Helly R

Disagree. The filmmaking in First Man is excellent. Hope it ends up on a poll.

I saw this with my father when it first came out, and he was able to confirm at the showing that everything had happened this way (Or close to it). Even the "John Glenn asks for Katherine Johnson specifically to double-check the figures". My father wasn't involved, he just knows a lot about the era. So I knew the whole way through that we were getting the real events (With artistic license). At my laboratory, everything is double-checked. EVERYTHING. It doesn't matter who did it originally, or what their position is. If the Laboratory Director did it first, somebody else still has to check it. It's sometimes a struggle to get new people to accept this since they view it as a lack of faith or lack of respect, but when they see that it applies to EVERYBODY the resentment goes away almost instantly. They just need to realize that it's not about them.

Hi Simone, my lefthanded fellow! ;) (I'm lefthanded too)

Hi golfextreme, we have not change any restrictions or permissions to our posts here on Patreon and has been the same for quite a few years. Our control only exceeds to Patreon membership tier access and nothing else, we have no control over anything on Google workspace or any networks. The video itself on YouTube side also has no restrictions set in aside from the fact that it is "unlisted" which all our videos are set to prior to public release, this has also been the case since the start of the channel and has not changed. Are you trying to cast the video from Patreon itself? or on YouTube side of the video?

Jeff K.

The scene where they’re talking about the Freedom Rider bus makes me think of another movie I hope y’all watch: Mississippi Burning, with Gene Hackman and Willem Defoe. Great film. Also, someone else mentioned The Right Stuff earlier but it’s worth another recommendation. It’s the story of the Mercury 7 astronauts, and is fantastic. Loaded cast. It’s over three hours long but well worth it. (It earned multiple Oscar nominations, including best cinematography for Caleb Deschanel... and yes, that's Zooey and Emily's dad. Their mom/his wife is also in the film, playing John Glenn's wife.)

Reid Mclellan

Do you really wanna open this door?

Adam K

I’m so happy you watched this movie - it’s such a wonderful and meaningful movie and a great reaction.

Tippnasty

for another great space race era movie i'd recommend "october sky." stars jake gyllenhaal and chris owen (the shermanator)

Brazilian_Rebel

Definitely suggest y’all watch Crooklyn !!

Helly R

Though note that it is Braveheart levels of accuracy.

JustALilTired

A very different perspective on smart women being underestimated and the advent of the IBM, Desk Set from 1957 is one of my favorite classic comedies. Hidden Figures always makes me think of that one. Love Hidden Figures, wonderful performances of three remarkable women! Great reaction 😊

Itbewhatitbe

im just jumping in to remind everyone the "be nice to eachother" post S&G reposts every once in a while... before anyone says anything they cant take back and results in a ban. as S&G often says, theres enough ugly politics on the internet, lets keep it away from here.

Jeff K.

YES. Great film. And quite possibly my favorite performance from Chris Cooper, which is saying something, because that dude is amazing in everything.

Adam Wetstein

Deleted my post as asked by creator

There is a great Apple TV show called For All Mankind that imagines that the Russians beat the US to the moon and shows the effects this has on both NASA and the whole world.

Karl Ries

Southpaws unite!

Christina Doxstader

One thing I love about this movie is how in illustrates why the Soviets beat the US to space so well. The Soviets didn't care about your background. All they cared about was if you could get the job done. Granted the Soviet Union was a mostly homogeneous society but it still points to the idea that the US saw certain people as "lesser than" because of where they came from or what they looked like. That's why I like Kevin Costner's character. He's a little gruff for sure but he is there to get a job done and he doesn't care who is there as long as they are capable of doing the work.

Ryan Alexander

The Soviets "beating" the US to space is largely a myth. While it is true the Soviets did alot of things first, they also did them very poorly. Sputnik was the first man made satellite, it was also useless. It carried no equipment to take readings, measurements, or provide any useful information other then that it was possible to achieve orbit. This held true across most of the Soviet's "firsts." The dog they sent up as the first animal in space was sent on a suicide mission and was roasted alive on it's flight, which they new would happen. The Soviets did things first, the US did them better. Also the Soviet Union was not remotely homogeneous, it was a collection of numerous nations and people many of whom suffered incredible persecution and discrimination. Like many movies Hidden Figured plays up the racial discrimination angle. It certainly existed, but if they made things more accurate to real life it wouldn't be very dramatic.

Another one of my favorites Octavia Spencer performances is in “The Help” (2011). I also really enjoyed Taraji P Henson in “The Color People” (2023). And I think Janelle Monae was very good in “Glass Onion” (2022).

Happy Hanukkah

For two significantly more consequential lapses, consider the "race" to the atomic bomb, and Lysenkoism in the USSR and China.

🥹 Sound... We have sound.... Simone's voice is one one of those things you don't know how much you'll miss till it's gone... 😬

Christina Doxstader

They sent a man to space and got them back before the US. That isn't a myth.

Ryan Alexander

that is true Yuri Gagarin went to space before Alan Shepherd. 1 whole month earlier. However while Yuri was a mere passenger who had no impact on the flight itself and was merely along for the ride just so the Soviets could say they did it first, the US created a craft Alan actually controlled, advancing the future of space exploration and once again, doing it better

MPH

FYI, this movie is mostly made up. The three women were real, but they did not know each other, and just about everyone else in the movie is fictional. It's mostly nonsense.

Gaius Frakking Baltar

I can't believe the movie left out the part where Gary Seven suddenly shows up on top of the rocket gantry and adjusts John Glenn's flight trajectory 🙃

Hollis Hamilton

Please watch The Right Stuff. It covers the space race from post war test pilots like Chuck Yeager through the Mercury seven program. George was giddy about the gyroscope test in this film, so he will be thrilled to see some of the tests the early astronauts had to endure.

Jeff K.

And since both George and Simone are readers, highly recommend Tom Wolfe's book that the movie was based on. It's fantastic.

Happy Hanukkah

And I demand the thumbnail be of them both in Tom Wolfe garb! :-)

Hollis Hamilton

Gagarin's flight completed one 108 minute orbit, while Shepard and Grissom's flights were 15 minute suborbital trips to space. Before Glenn completed his three orbit flight in February 1962, Titov had completed 17 orbits in August 1961. This was surpassed by Cooper in 1963.

Adam K

George - per your comment - I highly a trip to Cape Canaveral and Kennedy Space Center. I was lucky enough to go with my father way back in 2008, and got to watch Shuttle Discovery launch. Even without the launch itself - seeing all of those huge rockets in real life is absolutely amazing. I think you’d enjoy it.

FALSE According to NASA’s website: Dorothy Vaughan was NACA's first black supervisor Katherine was told that women aren't included in the space program briefings. She did push her way in. Mary Jackson was NASA's first African-American female engineer. She experienced the bathroom segregation problem (not Kathryn). Mary did have to get special permission to attend those classes. The women mathematicians knew John Glenn. Katherine Johnson computed John Glenn's trajectory. He did really ask Katherine to double-check the electronic computer's calculations for his first Earth orbit. SOOOOO, The timeline, their friendship, and the bathroom scene may have not been real. But it was NOT mostly “nonsense”

Anthony James Marshall

Hey guys if you want more about the space race I think you'd love THE RIGHT STUFF about the Mercury missions that were the first steps leading to the Apollo missions

Jay Johnson

I think y'all would enjoy "Green Book", starring Mahershala Ali (played Katherine's husband Jim Johnson in this one) and Viggo Mortensen. actually, I'm surprised you guys haven't done more of Viggo's films

Ceruleo

I don't know if George sees these comments from older videos like this, but the Simone was right when she mentioned earthquakes after you asked about duck and cover. The idea behind duck and cover was that if you saw the flash and got under the desk, you might survive structural damage, partial collapse, and flying glass from the shockwave outside the radius of total destruction.
