It was an era in which women were steered away from jobs in science and deemed unqualified for space flight. Eventually, though, NASA recognized its blunder and opened the application process to a wider array of hopefuls, regardless of race or gender. From a candidate pool of 8,000 six elite women were selected in 1978--Sally Ride, Judy Resnik, Anna Fisher, Kathy Sullivan, Shannon Lucid, and Rhea Seddon. In The Six, acclaimed journalist Loren Grush shows these brilliant and courageous women enduring claustrophobic--and sometimes deeply sexist--media attention, undergoing rigorous survival training, and preparing for years to take multi-million-dollar payloads into orbit. Together, the Six helped build the tools that made the space program run. One of the group, Judy Resnik, sacrificed her life when the Space Shuttle Challenger exploded at 46,000 feet. Everyone knows of Sally Ride's history-making first space ride, but each of the Six would make their mark"--Provided by publisher.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 629.45009 Gr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 629.45009 Grush Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kailua-Kona Public Library Adult Nonfiction 629.45009 Gr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Koloa P/S Library Adult Nonfiction 629.45009 Gr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult New Books 629.45009 Gr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Makawao Public Library Adult Nonfiction 629.45009 Gr Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Nonfiction 629.45009 Gr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Acquisitions --- On Order   in Processing Add Copy to MyList North Kohala Public Library Adult Nonfiction 629.45009 Gr Checked In Add Copy to MyList Pearl City Public Library Adult Nonfiction 629.45009 Gr Checked In Add Copy to MyList More Results: 1 2 Next
