Good film that and was a subject I had never heard about.

Excellent film shining a light on people who I had never been aware of before. RIP Katherine.

Think she was mentioned in the 13 Minutes to the Moon Podcast - which is outstanding. Any excuse to listen to it again. RIP Katherine.

Thought you meant the sexy Welsh singer at first.

Massive shame. Inspirational woman. And to think, we have some absolute halfwits on this board who discredit her achievements because they think the world is flat and the moon doesn't exist...

Yeah she was mentioned a few times in it, fantastic insightful podcast, so well done, looking forward to the next one later this year where they focus on Apollo 13

The film Hidden Figures, whilst typical Hollywood schmaltz, was still a good movie to give a bit of an idea about the back story of people like Katherine
