Summary
In 1952, a meteorite strike causes a climate cataclysm that will soon render the earth inhospitable for humanity, forcing an accelerated effort to colonize space, and Elma York's experience as a WASP pilot and mathematician earns her a place as a calculator in the International Aerospace Coalition's attempts to put man on the moon, but soon her 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
