Ananda’s opinion
However, there were rules that excluded women from being astronauts.
Even though the women passed all of the same tests as the men, women were not allowed to be astronauts until 1978.
I admire the Mercury 13 women for completing the training even when faced with unfair challenges.
I hope they still inspire people today.
