I mentioned that we had watched the movie, Hidden Figures. I really enjoyed the history and a glimpse into the lives of these amazing, women pioneers.
One clip that jumped out at me was the woman lettering John Glenn's capsule, Friendship 7. I wonder who the calligrapher was that did the lettering? And did she letter all the Mercury 7 capsules?
I haven't seen this movie, may just go have a look. Thanks for sharing. Nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteYou won't be disappointed.
DeleteHmm. That would be cool to know. I love how different people see different things 😀
ReplyDeleteWould be very cool to know.
DeleteLoved the movie, but that went right over my head. Thanks for pointing it out. As a calligrapher, you think I would have been more tuned in. Hope to catch up next week. Enjoy the weekend.
ReplyDeleteThe scene went by very quickly.
DeleteThat's a great question. I missed that scene. Good job on zeroing in on it. Must come from having the exceptional eye of a calligrapher:)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend.
More like a savant thing :-D
DeleteInteresting.....
ReplyDeleteVery
DeleteI've not seen the movie, but I've seen the REAL Liberty Bell 7, which was also a Mercury project. I'll have to try to find out, since this is an interesting concept.
ReplyDeleteMust have been cool to see the Liberty Bell. I remember as a kid the excitement of watching the live rocket launches on TV.
DeleteVery interesting!!
