A new National Geographic documentary explores the little-known stories of the first Black pilots and engineers who were pioneers of NASA's space program. Geoff Bennett has this look at the film, “The Space Race,” that is streaming on Disney+ and Hulu in the United States. Why did the Soviet Union send a Black person to space first, before America, in 1980 with Arnaldo Tamayo Méndez—a Cuban pilot?
