black women were working there, being used, to help white men go to space.

There were HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of proud americans working on the space projects, and most of them would never be in a two hour movie nor want to be, it was a "small step for MANKIND," and paved the way for astronauts of all backgrounds to research in space.

Would've been better for them not to be there

I went to college to become a mechanical engineer but dropped out because I was surrounded by white men and didn't want to work in an environment with them... I still wouldn't want to be the only woman nor black woman nor gay woman among men nor white people nor straight people. I want to be with my own kind. I don't understand why others don't want the same thing. Black women helped white men go to space... Integration has benefited white people far more than "others".

This sounds pretty low-key racist. People should be free to follow whatever career paths they want to. Intimating that minority women shouldnt have worked at nasa 'because it helps white men' is ABSURDLY reductionist and ignores the ENTIRE point of the space race. Protip: it wasnt SOLELY to 'help white men', just as affirmative action wasn't "solely to help black men". But you sound very ignorant on the space race itself, so I will leave it at that.

Winning the race had far reaching implications for our country that we are still seeing the effects of today, simplifying it down to 'help white man' is hilariously ignorant and bad history.

You may have been alive back then, but you know nothing about the era.

Lol, and I get silenced by the mods for defending the 400,000 other americans who helped us get into space.

White people got to go to space first. Why? White supremacy.

Your post is delusional.
