Most people that helped nasa with the space race have been forgotten.<p>to imply that these women should not have been forgotten because of their race and gender seems silly to me. we don't generally remember people because of their race or their gender, we remember people primarily for unique/influential/pivotal actions.<p>that said the article was still good, and not really all that about the title.
Watch the trailer the article is promoting. It's inspiring, and about time to add their stories to those of the Right Stuff or Apollo 13. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RK8xHq6dfAo" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RK8xHq6dfAo</a>
best comment from the page: "If history forgot.....why are we reading about it? Why can I find countless accounts of this online? Why are their books talking about? TV interviews? Print articles? Etc etc.<p>Nobody forgot - a low level of interest is not akin to history forgetting. I guess that wouldn't make for such a dramatic headline though!"<p>It's true. Some media article is always telling us how we're bad and we forgot. Except we didn't. And our textbooks at least since the 80s have had this kind of content in them.
