It's a great movie. I read a bit about her afterwards. One cool thing is that some of the parts that I assumed were made up by Hollywood to heighten the drama (like Neil Armstrong say "I'm not launching unless she does the calculations") weren't fabricated. That actually happened

my understanding is that pretty much the only thing that was fabricated was that these four women were friends.
