To: Dad was my hero

It is a very good movie.

A real American story. It didn’t paint over the warts, it didn’t make martyrs of these women, it didn’t make civil rights heroes out of the white men who stepped up to change things and it didn’t oversell their accomplishments. (which would be hard to do with the Apollo program)

But it did acknowledge their critical role among the thousands of people who worked as a team on one of the greatest accomplishments of mankind. It showed how hard they had to work and how dedicated they had to be to be a part of it. IMO it was a pretty honest representation of the times.

You do realize the movie is not the real story and those women were exaggerated. Look it up.

Yes well put! In my view the movie/story reflects the MAGA spirit in spades. The heart of America that emerges even through our imperfections!

And I was especially struck by how much we stood for contrasted with that of the Soviet Union.
