So Hollywood should limit to making movies about white men? WTF?
Remembrance of the Apollo 1 accident is a Hollywood thing? Or not remembering, that's the thing here?

I think it was one very important accident in the US space program. A lot of crucial things were changed.

Your reply came next after the poster pic of the three black women who were crucial to the mission. I was responding to that.

Well, I was responding to the opening paragraph that Fife made (with link to WP article), and that the discussion goes immediately to race/gender/political correctness. There's nothing about PC whatsoever in the WP article, but only a good article about a tragedy what happened decades ago.

Seems some people are really fixated on the race/gender/political correctness...

Likely in a film about mathematicians the people in focus do now their math.
