Engineers: So we had all this complicated theory, but no one can calculate that stuff by himself. Here’s a linear aproximation formula and 50 pages of tables where you just look up the values for the factors given certain conditions.
The complicated math is for the one guy who made the tables and charts. The rest of you just look it up. It’s fine, it’s how we’ve always done it. Even sending people to the Moon had lookup tables for precalculated things. Although those guys were legend, ever try to use a sliderule?
When your “calculator” is a room full of women, mostly black, it is kinda hard to fit them all into the orbiter.
Edit: I just realized that the “mostly black” came off like I was saying that us part of the reason they would not fit in the orbiter. I was trying to acknowledge the impact and importance of these black women in history, but I am autistic and fail hard at SQ communication.

I comprehended it as meant, and you’re right, give credit where it’s due.
