On a cold spring night in 1952, a huge meteorite fell to earth and
obliterated much of the east coast of the United States, including
Washington D.C. The ensuing climate cataclysm will soon render the earth
inhospitable for humanity, as the last such meteorite did for the
dinosaurs. This looming threat calls for a radically accelerated effort
to colonize space, and requires a much larger share of humanity to take
part in the process.
Elma York’s experience as a WASP pilot and
mathematician earns her a place in the International Aerospace
Coalition’s attempts to put man on the moon, as a calculator. But with
so many skilled and experienced women pilots and scientists involved
with the program, it doesn’t take long before Elma begins to wonder why
they can’t go into space, too.
Elma’s drive to become the first
Lady Astronaut is so strong that even the most dearly held conventions
of society may not stand a chance against her.
