"Most people that helped nasa with the space race have been forgotten. to imply that ^these women^ should not have been forgotten because of their ^race^ and ^gender^ seems silly to me. "

Motherhood statement. Let me guess: male, white, middle class and educated? Women of colour experience a different world to you.

I lived through the late stage of Apollo and the space race and followed it closely as a kid and never read or saw images of scientists, technicians other than the stereo-typical short white sleeve engineer with glasses. This is a book and film I'll be looking out for.
