Ryan Gosling grimaces and grinds his teeth and suffers mostly silently as heroic Neil Armstrong in Oscar winner Damien Chazelle’s First Man, out Friday. The title is short for first man on the moon for those who weren’t around in 1969 when the dude took “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”
Or, well, some of it. Fifty years later America doesn’t do such an out-of-this-world job when it comes to racial inclusivity. First Man is a reminder of such inequality.

When the surf wasn't up, they'd work at shaping the rigid fiberglass insulation around cryo-tanks for some unit of upper stages.
When the surf was up, they'd cost the contractor big dental bills from employees grinding their teeth.
Guess they missed Hidden Figures last year. Good movie.

There’s a chapter in Ben Rich’s “The Skunk Works” where some Latino political organization was all bent out of shape due to the lack of any ‘Latino’ scientists/engineers associated with Lockheed.

The first year in Iraq we had carte blanche to get things done and rapidly.
After that the affirmative action hires began showing up. It was generally agreed there was a steady decline in the quality of services rendered to coalition forces after that.
I was in an engineering outfit where these results became painfully obvious.
No sense of urgency, lack of purpose, poor education and resistance to hard work at every turn. They were no more than window dressing and a waste of our money.
