Promised the Moon: The Untold Story of the First Women in the Space Race
Autor Stephanie Nolenen Limba Engleză Paperback – 21 oct 2004
A
female
world-record-setting
pilot,
Jerrie
Cobb
was
recruited
in
1959
to
take
the
astronaut
tests.
She
excelled,
so
the
doctor
who
supervised
the
selection
of
NASA's
Mercury
astronauts
recruited
additional
female
pilots.
Twelve
performed
exceptionally.
Stephanie
Nolen
tracked
down
eleven
of
the
surviving
"Fellow
Lady
Astronaut
Trainees"
and
learned
the
story
of
those
early
days
of
the
space
race
and
the
disappointment
when,
in
1961,
the
women
were
grounded.
