>Black women are stupi-

God I know this is bait but I can't stop myself.

The equations for the Lunar missions were already known and simplified as best they could be by the (Fucking) white male scientists.

However, if any of you brainlets understood space mechanics you would know that the principal equations of motion do not have a closed for solution, therefore it is necessary to use numerical integration, linearization and approximation to find a numerical solution to these problems. Nowadays we use programs like MATLAB to solve this. The computer program can find the solution is seconds after running millions of calculations. In the 60's they didn't have MATLAB, but they did have slide rules, paper and black women, who were cheap cause you didn't need to pay them as much as a man or whity.

So basically the real scientist handed off the busy work to cheap labor. Yes they were important but they did not design the mission and did not do massive calculations in their head that the ebil whyte sycentists couldn't figure out.


Also, black? Really pic related
