Summary:
Lindy Elkins-Tanton is the Principal Investigator of NASA's $800 million Psyche mission, and the second woman ever to be awarded a major NASA space exploration contract. Here she tells how, amid a childhood of terrible trauma, she fell in love with science as a means of healing and consolation. In telling her story-- and that of a massive asteroid called (16) Psyche, which has the potential to unlock the story of how planets form, and how our planet formed-- she takes us from the wilds of the Siberian tundra, to the furthest reaches of outer space, and to NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, where her team brought the Psyche mission to life. -- adapted from jacket
