Welcome to Litsy!

This was a great listen that describes the experiences of the first six American women to be astronauts - Sally Ride, Judy Resnik, Anna Fisher, Kathy Sullivan, Shannon Lucid, and Rhea Seddon.

Happy Saturday and good morning! I started this audiobook with breakfast today and am looking forward to spending lots of time listening while I work around the house today.

Love that California Science Center will showcase the shuttle in such an eye catching way…bet Sally would too. 💫

I couldn't put this down. It's a nonfiction account of NASA's first 6 female astronauts. They went through so much to break the glass ceiling all the way into space. There were moments when their story was infuriating because of what they had to put up with but I am so grateful for their fearless determination. These brilliant women were doctors & scientists long before joining NASA. Their dedication to the space prorgam paved the way for so many.

Loving the tagged book but wish I‘d read it before my recent trip to Kennedy Space Center 👩‍🚀👩‍🚀👩‍🚀👩‍🚀👩‍🚀👩‍🚀🚀

2nd 5 ⭐️ read for January, an audiobook. I‘m old enough to remember the Challenger explosion, which is toward the end of this book, but I didn‘t know anything before that. This is so interesting, I looked forward to the drive to & from work. These women are/were amazing, courageous, & way smarter than me.

Mrs. Johnson‘s scientific contributions to the success of NASA was immeasurable! She lived a long and productive life as a scientist, though seeking attention and applause for it was secondary to the actual love for her role in it and her dedication to NASA. A true hero who lived to be 101.

Interesting, exciting, well written. Enjoyed the science themes and knowledge along with the criminal thrill. Great story, can't make something like that up (which it happens to be based on true events).
