“As a space geek, I greatly enjoyed the history. VonBraun, Kennedy’s speech, LBJ, all the historical context around those people and events was wonderfully. I dropped the podcast a star because of the over done frame as well as the agenda of the WP. Equal rights and discrimination were highlighted as a weakness of NASA in the later episodes of the podcast. Seemed unfair to single out NASA as the “all-white” astronaut corps was a reflection of general society of the time. Looking back from today we can see the problems with that thinking, but to accuse NASA of being racist is unfair and seems to promote an agenda.
Loved the history. Didn’t appreciate the agenda.”
