We have returned - a little later than planned due to one of your co-hosts having a touch of consumption. This time, Alex guides Kenny through the world of NASA in the early 1960s a place where computations are done by the human mind and Kevin Costner stalks the halls pretending to know maths. Into this scientific maelstrom step our three main characters, Katherine Goble, formerly a maths prodigy now a single mother of three, Mary Jackson, an engineer who at times appears to be the scarecrow from the Wizard of Oz and Dorothy Vaughan who can stop traffic with an Mmmm-hmmm - out to create history and, in Mary's case, risk certain death for no apparent reason. Expect racist MJ, Evil Sheldon and driving your car objectively too fast.
