“She Should Have Gone To The Moon is like a Twin Peaks episode masquerading as a documentary about the Mercury 13, a band of valiant women pilots who went through rigorous NASA mandated training in preparation for joining their male counterparts in the space program. Fascinating and weird”

“I will be forever grateful to Ulrike Kubatta for allowing me to discover “Jerri” Thruhill’s inspired commitment to flying in this delightful 58 minutes of images and dialogue that stirred up various emotions and leave you wanting to know more about Jerri.”

“Kubatta readily admits that she fosters a romantic vision of Jerri’s flying days. Interspersed with interview footage are stunning atmospheric shots of the director (in a replica of Jerri’s original stylish white ‘flight suit’) against white sands and blue sky or suspended in water. An effective interpretation of what it might have felt like to be Jerri in the 50s and 60s.”
