Speaking of NASA,the movie HIDDEN FIGURES was about 3 black female math wizards,their job title was computers....THEY WERE NASA’S COMPUTERS.....If math is racist,how did they get so smart AT MATH......

It was a different world. Americans of all backgrounds were prospering — and then LBJ and the “liberals” went full bore at throwing our nation off the rails.

So if it went up in 1990 (and was designed years before that) its using what - a pentium 386?

One of my fondest memories from my days working for MITRE at the Naval Space Command was having a copy of the Hubble ground control system with a complete 3-D map of the satellite on my Micro-VAX “PC”. A magnificent feat of engineering.

Don’t know how much money was spent on Hubble, but it sure was worth it.

It's too bad they can't haul it down to the ISS an park it nearby until they can fabricate modern parts for it.
It'd be a shame to lose the optics on it.

Good point and good movie. IIRC, the lead mathematician was invited into the mission control room for a launch after she found and corrected an error in the launch data.
I also like the part where flight control guy (forgot title) found out that they had to walk far just to use a black bathroom, which caused delays in their computations. He took a hammer to the "Whites Only" sign in mission control building where they worked. These women were brilliant and a credit to their profession and race.
