62. Then You Made It About Houston and Apollo

I was responding to you post stating that you worked in Houston on the Apollo mission. In previous posts you pretty much so claimed the movie was a lie. You then used your Houston and Apollo experience as proof that the movie was false. I provided information to prove that the movie was actually based on facts. The movie was about Virginia and Mercury; not Houston and Apollo.

In addition, what Jimmy Kimmel said was a joke. Clearly, Jimmy Kimmel and everyone watching the Oscars knew that white men had played a major role in getting the American space program started. He was pointing out and making fun of stereotypes being broken. Most Americans do not expect to see black people playing roles as scientists and engineers. Most people would not expect to see white people playing roles in which give major contributions to Jazz.
