There can be only one ...

A good episode moving on with the women in space program. We meet a group of female trainee astronauts chosen for a variety of reasons, mostly political tokenism and PR driven, having less to do with perceived ability. An initial group of twenty is to be whittled down, Highlander style, to a final winner.

The addition of Sonya Walger as the cynical and acerbic Molly Cobb is most welcome adding a bit of grit to the oyster. She is highly qualified having trained in the Mercury program but is less propaganda, publicity and people friendly.

Quiz
The Mercury 13 actually existed, though the term was only coined in 1995 by Hollywood producer James Cross. Molly Cobb is based on Jerrie Cobb who scored in the top 2% of all astronaut candidates, male and female, and was the only woman to complete Phase III training. She died in 2019.

Blooper
In actuality, training on the Lunar Lander Training Vehicle (LLTV) was not a standard part of an astronaut's training. The only astronauts who trained on it were ones earmarked for a role that would require them to land on the Moon. For example, Neil Armstrong flew it many times to train for Apollo 11, but neither Michael Collins nor Buzz Aldrin flew it at all because their roles didn't require that training.

Citazioni
Shorty Powers: We do not have one John Glenn in that group, and it's not even close.
Gene Kranz: I don't know. A couple of them look like they're starting to lose their hair.
Shorty Powers: Who in this group is the all-American girl? The one people are gonna love and take into their hearts and feel good about doing it?
Deke Slayton: John Glenn wasn't John Glenn until he became John Glenn.
Shorty Powers: John Glenn was always John Glenn. And that's why he was chosen for Mercury.
