Historically inaccurate

My thoughts? Well, my first thought is that HF didn't say 3 women were the first people on the moon. Second thought: "Politically correct" is a virtually meaningless term used by people who wish the good old days of insensitivity to the less powerful were back.

HF is a good (but not great) film about a little-known part of history. I'm glad I went to see it.

The movie was about three women achieving in technology, not about the space program. It was challenging the Silicon Valley idea that only white and Asian men can succeed in technology. The space race was only in the background.

Those three may not have been the first on the moon if not for the women depicted in this film. The men have had their recognition. It is now time the women also do. It doesn't hurt to give them their due. One doesn't have to forget about others to enjoy these too.

Man helped to keep women down during that time. Not just as 'computers' but also as pilots. Some of the women did better on some of the tests than the men. They though then weren't permitted to remain part of the program. John Glenn even publicly joined the fight against them. He was likely afraid of more competition in an already competitive field. The spacecraft doesn't care which body parts the crew has. The Russians proved that.

Prejudice and sexism is why the US was second on many things in the space race. They could have been even more behind, perhaps a soviet flag would be on the moon, if the women of NASA didn't go beyond their job, title, and pay and help.

You clearly didn't see this film.

Did you SEE the movie? First of all, it took place in 1961-1962, the moon landing was only talked about in the movie as something they will work on in the future. The men chosen to travel to space are shown being interviewed, and they were all white men...

DAMN! My apologies, Aussersein. I've seen so much ignorant BS thrown onto this film's discussion boards that I didn't recognize your sarcasm as sarcasm. Hence my previous comment.

It was inaccurate but not in the way you described it, even it this is being sarcastic.
I did my research after and this was basically factional.
This is no better in terms of accuracy than War Dogs, Bridge of Spies and the upcoming Polka King.
This was entertainment pure and simple.

Each of the moon landings had TWO men on the surface, not three. Just sayin'
