In the Pixar movie "Lightyear", at some point we see Buzz using an E6B calculator to quickly calculate a trajectory correction in space.
The E6B is some kind of nomogram/slide rule hybrid, still widely in use by pilots in flight training for dead reckoning.
Funny fact, the chart that Buzz uses in the film is used to calculate wind correction...in space. (Well he does get 'pushed' off course by the wind of an explosion).
