The Calculating Stars

Posted on by

A meteor decimates the U.S government and paves the way for a climate cataclysm that will eventually render the earth inhospitable to humanity This looming threat calls for a radically accelerated timeline in the earth s efforts to colonize space, as well as an unprecedented opportunity for a much larger share of humanity to take part.One of these new entrants in the space race is Elma York, whose experience as a WASP pilot and mathematician earns her a place in the International Aerospace Coalition s attempts to put man on the moon 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 aside from some pesky barriers like thousands of years of history and a host of expectations about the proper place of the fairer sex And yet, Elma s drive to become the first Lady Astronaut is so strong that even the most dearly held conventions may not stand a chance.
