Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Johnson personally verified the computer calculations for John Glenn's 1962 orbital flight — Glenn refused to launch until she checked the numbers.
This 56-minute doc predates Hidden Figures' cultural impact but arrived after; it captures Johnson already aware she's become a symbol, which makes her candor about the work itself more precious.
