Brilliant documentary and shows how, very sadly, a group of women were unable to pursue their dream of going to space.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
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.<\/p>\n
The US effectively threw away at least one way in which they could have lead the space race.<\/p>\n
Of course it\u2019s presented from the women\u2019s perspective but the other sample footage used to show the misogynistic views does resonate and highlight that they lost a key opportunity.<\/p>\n
Enjoy a good watch and lots of great footage<\/p>\n
