Celebrate World Space Week at Kirkwood Community College every Tuesday in October! All daytime activities take place during the activity hour, 11:15 a.m. to 12:10 p.m., in 1158 Linn Hall. This event features the documentary: "Mercury 13."
Summary: After rigorous testing in 1961, a small group of skilled female pilots are asked to step aside when only men are selected for spaceflight. “The review aggregator Rotten Tomatoes assigned the film an approval rating of 100% based on 24 reviews . . . The site's consensus reads: ‘Mercury 13 offers yet another sobering example of how institutionalized sexism has thwarted countless dreams -- and held nations back from their full potential.’” (Wikipedia)
