At one point she goes into a library and gets a book. If you look carefully, you'll notice that it's a book on Fortran (FORmula TRANslation). I wrote my first computer program in 1969 using Fortran 4. NASA still needs Fortran programmers to update Voyager I and II.

I did notice that. And the racist attitude of the library worker.
