I believe Karen Baldwin, the wife of Ed, said (not a direct quote) at some point: "This is not important, my husband is on the MOON for Christ sake!" And I totally agree with her. Her husband is on the freaking moon, why are we even with her for so long?

This is a recurring theme in shows about the men and women of science. I was alright with all the civil rights stuff most of the time since it was a great setup for having female astronauts, but at some point it felt like the drama surrounding that and the families were taking center stage which I just cannot understand. It's the space race for crying out loud!

The show is absolutely amazing most of the time which makes it all the more disappointing when it feels as if they're almost attacking the people who built the space program. I don't want to go into spoilers, but suffice to say that dead men can't defend themselves and putting words in their mouth that people of today will see as indefensible is not a move I enjoy. These people were heroes, born in another time, and judging them based on their times feels rude.

The good parts were amazing though, which is why I'll give it a 7/10. I'd straight up cut away 30% of the show though.

At first I thought this was rather fascinating, but if you have a questioning personality you will start having questions. Questions that doesn't seem to have answers, at least not in this documentary which makes it feel rather biased. So I looked it up.

This resignation syndrome only happens to asylum seekers during the asylum processing and for decades it only happened in Sweden. In cases where the children have been separated from their parents they quickly recover in 1-2 days. The other known "cure" is giving them asylum. Supervised children have been found eating during the night. The more media attention it got, the more people suddenly had it. There's no scientific explanation.

This is information from Regeringskansliet (state commissioned report), Filter (a journalistic paper) and Uppdrag Granskning (an investigative journalistic program on state television) in Sweden. It's not some kind of right-wing foreigner-hating conspiracy. I think that if you're desperate enough and really want to get asylum, lying is the least of your worries and people working with asylum seekers don't want to believe they could be lying because questioning victims is a big nono and could probably get you fired.

It's easy to silence any criticism by calling people racist or pretending like there's no problem, but how nice is that towards the children? This documentary is propaganda.
