Hidden Figures. More or less "The Help" for NASA dweebs.

It concedes that black women were instrumental in developing and executing a successful space race, but gets really cagey around questions like "Why did NASA only have a White Men's Restroom to begin with?", "What caused us to omit people like this in films like Apollo 13 or The Right Stuff?", and "How come the women who pioneered implementation of Fortran at NASA weren't able to pivot into senior administrative roles, private contracting firms, or academic positions like their male peers?"
