Yes, housewives were told to <a href='https://retrorecipe.wordpress.com/2008/09/25/jellied-bouillon-with-frankfurters-one-of-many-traumatic-dishes-made-possible-by-jellateen/'>put hot dogs in Jello</a>.  We wouldn't make up something like that.

NASA briefly considered sending <a href='https://www.insidehook.com/article/history/mercury-13-the-women-in-the-shadow-of-nasas-mercury-men'>women on the Mercury VII mission</a> but ultimately made John Glenn the first American astronaut in orbit instead. NASA's official selection criteria for astronauts was

<ol>
<li>Less than 40 years old;</li>

<li>Less than 5 feet 11 inches (1.80 m) tall;</li>

<li>In excellent physical condition;</li>

<li>With a <a href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bachelor%27s_degree'>bachelor's degree</a> or equivalent;</li>

<li>A graduate of test pilot school;</li>

<li>With a minimum of 1,500 hours total flying time; and</li>

<li>A qualified jet pilot.</li>

</ol>
