图书简介
In the early history of NASA, astronauts were white men from the military fighter pilot ranks. While women lobbied to join the astronaut corps, NASA rejected their efforts and their political leadership. However, at the beginning of the Space Shuttle era in the late 1970s, NASA made a conscious effort to recruit women and more diverse candidates as astronauts. In addition, a new category of astronaut--the mission specialist, who performed a range of scientific, medical, and engineering experiments during a spaceflight mission--was created. These mission specialists typically had doctoral degrees (MD or PhD). In 1978, 6 women were selected from 8,000 applicants as mission specialists: Sally Ride, Judy Resnik, Anna Fisher, Kathy Sullivan, Shannon Lucid, and Rhea Seddon. Grush (science journalist) focuses on their individual and collective stories, illustrating the many societal and sexist challenges they faced. Sally Ride became the first American woman in space, and Judith Resnik died in the 1986 Challenger explosion. All six made a unique mark on history. The book is written in a captivating and engaging style, and space enthusiasts will enjoy it.
