An amazing movie!

A breath of fresh air. These women were trailblazers. In addition to celebrating their accomplishments it also highlights some of the indignities experienced by African Americans and how stupid segregation and racism was (and still is for anyone who wants to think any race is better than another). When we all work together, and help each other over the finish line, we all win! Maybe things in this movie took creative liberties and didn't accurately depict some of the prejudices experienced accurately - meaning maybe these women were given more of a fair shake at NASA than depicted in this movie, but you can guarantee the sort of discriminations presented did go on in many other places. Now imagine if Alexander Grahm Bell, the Wright brothers, Thomas Edison, or Albert Einstein, were held back... imagine all the greatest achievers in human history were held back because of their gender, or race. Makes one wonder where we'd be, in the present, if everyone got an equal start in life from the very beginning of human existence.
