Question

1. in which film does nasa rely more heavily on: - old - school math and human calculation? - technology and simulation? plain briefly.

Explanation:

To answer this, we analyze films involving NASA. In "Hidden Figures", NASA (during the early space program) relied heavily on old - school math (like orbital calculations) and human calculation (done by the African - American female mathematicians). In contrast, modern - themed NASA films or those with more contemporary space missions might rely on technology and simulation. For the "old - school math and human calculation" part, "Hidden Figures" is the key film as it depicts the era when manual calculations were crucial for orbital mechanics, trajectory planning, etc., before advanced computing was widespread in NASA's operations.

Answer:

For "Old - school math and human calculation": "Hidden Figures". In this film, NASA (during the Mercury program era) relied on human mathematicians (like Katherine Johnson) for complex orbital and trajectory calculations using traditional mathematical methods, as advanced computing for such tasks was not as developed or trusted yet.

For "Technology and simulation": Films like "The Martian" or "Interstellar" (for NASA - related space missions in the films) rely more on advanced technology (like rover operations, space mission simulations, and high - tech equipment) for planning and executing space missions.
