Brilliant documentary and shows how, very sadly, a group of women were unable to pursue their dream of going to space.
indeed, one could say there was a degree of misogyny, especially from those in NASA and the military, who effectively fed NASA with their astronaut candidates.
It was most interesting to hear how accomplished these women were, bearing in mind limitations imposed by law restricting their ability to fly jets and similar.
The US effectively threw away at least one way in which they could have lead the space race.
Of course it’s presented from the women’s perspective but the other sample footage used to show the misogynistic views does resonate and highlight that they lost a key opportunity.
Enjoy a good watch and lots of great footage
