They were not the victims of overt racial abuse at NASA so much as the victim of ongoing discrimination, petty and not so petty slights and indignities.? ?They were the victims of not just racism but sexism .? In the White, macho male culture of NASA, they got no respect for their intelligence because they was both Black and female.
>>>to solve getting a man back from the moon before the Russians do
Rather, the objective goal in the time frame of the? film is to do the mathematical calculations necessary to enable the first American astronaut to orbit the earth.? The moon missions came much later, after the FADE OUT and CREDIT SCROLL.
