I’m watching this Netflix documentary about women pilots who were sent to Albuquerque in 1961 and tested to see if they could match the test results of the first male astronauts. When the results came in, it turned out theirs were SUPERIOR to those of the male astronauts. Pres. Johnson and NASA were told about this, and their response, “We don’t need any women astronauts.” Makes me wonder how different our space program would be today if women had gone to space back then. #Mercury13
