Seems relevant at this point in time.

Pictures at link of the women.

John Glenn sold his soul.

Saw the movie, it was great. Makes you wonder about what happened to the black family since then.

None of this changes anything from a cultural or societal point of view. The Bell Curve doesn’t mean there won’t be any that won’t be on the high end, it’s just ever more so rare. I wish we had more blacks like these women. Their own culture doesn’t produce them.

What are the chances this story is fake? Why would Glenn micro-manage the launch?

Thank you for sharing! Loved Hidden Figures!

A reminder that even as we were struggling to live up to our truest ideals here at home — regardless of how divided we were — all of us, black and white — united around America in awe as we together fulfilled the dream of going to space.

And we were united in standing for freedom under God in the face of our nemesis: the atheist and communist Soviet Union.

It was an enjoyable movie. But the PC crowd had a field day with some of the ‘facts’. Yes, those women were PART OF THE TEAM at NASA. No more important than most of the men, and a lot less important than some of the men. A review of the movie in the UK Telegraph had a much less fawning appraisal of the movie. They did point out that Katherine Johnson used ANY RESTROOM THAT SHE WANTED. Just ONE of the ‘facts’ that was rewritten to make the 3 Black women seem much more put upon. There were several of those rewritten facts that were in the Telegraph review; that’s the one I remember.

Not quite the way I heard it - Poppy Northcutt was apparently the first woman to work on the Apollo Moon Project and was in charge of the entire return-to-earth phase of all flights - but then she wasn't of the black persuasion and as is the command these days, shan't be mentioned under penalty of being branded a racist for suggesting that any white might be as competent as some black - Poppy Northcutt was a pioneer - the first woman to work as an engineer in Apollo Mission Control - (and she was a real good-looker too, which wasn't a sexist comment back in the days of Apollo 11).....

Gotta play the race/sex angle somehow.

Maybe they were tall black women. They were 9 feet tall amazon black women.

BEWARE OF HOLLYWOOD FEEL-GOOD MOVIES...they are usually full of falsehoods and people that never existed.

Leftists hate white people. They are horrible racists.
