Trivia
The role of the women at NASA is the subject of Hidden Figures (2016), based on the book of the same name, recounting the true story of the African-American mathematician Katherine Johnson and her two colleagues, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson, who, while working in the segregated West Area Computers division of Langley Research Center, helped NASA catch up in the Space Race.

Goofs
During the live TV broadcast of Neil Armstrong stepping on the lunar surface and making his "That's one small step for man..." announcement, the image switches from a side view of the ladder, from the exterior of the Lunar Module, to an overhead view of Armstrong from the interior of the Module.

In fact, the exterior camera was the only available live TV feed. The overhead view was shot using a film camera and the film, which was a much higher resolution than that of the TV camera, was not developed or shown until after Apollo 11 returned to Earth.

Quotes
Wyatt Logan: All right, before I suffocate myself in polyester again, are we sure Flynn is headed to NASA?
Lucy Preston: Man landed on the moon today. NASA's the only thing going on in Houston. Believe me, it's the only thing going on the world.
Wyatt Logan: And Rufus, if Flynn's trying to screw the moon landing, how would he do it?
Rufus Carlin: [more to himself] He'd use Anthony. That's how he'd do it.
Wyatt Logan: Huh?
Rufus Carlin: Um... the problem is there's about a dozen ways to scuttle it from the ground.
Lucy Preston: So what do you think Flynn's gonna do? He's gonna knock over a radio tower, shoot the place up?
Rufus Carlin: Yes. No. I don't know.
Lucy Preston: What?
Wyatt Logan: [sarcastic] Great, going in blind. Love it.
