How the Soviets Won the Space Race for Equality - The New York Times
Great article that puts it all in perspective. While we were fighting a ****-waving contest of toxic masculinity just to see if we could be the first country to have a man kick dirt on the moon, the Soviets were building a real diverse and inclusive space community. They saw space travel as an endeavor of humanity and its diversity and not some chest-beating competition. It'll require the strength of our diversity to get us to Mars or beyond.
