Personally I find Gattaca’s aesthetic stunning. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, it’s niche, but I love it.
The hero however doesn’t necessarily have a heart condition, I think it’s only ever stated that he has a risk of one. The whole film is about how risk has been weeded out of the culture in certain ways because some people can “not have a risk”, except of course this is disproven by Jude Law’s character.
Weaker arguments, but the space industry is multiple launches per day from the Gattaca facility, so we can assume that they are much more flexible on astronaut selection. Also I’m not sure it’s said that it’s a public organisation. Again, minor details, but I didn’t take away from it what you seem to have. Everyone entitled to their interpretation though!
