    Summary: 
    Bagby introduces readers to the barrier-breaking NASA class of 1978, which for the first time consisted of a diverse crew of women, people of color, LGBTQ+ people, and more. She profiles their triumphs and tragedies working on the newly launched space shuttle program, depicting these young astronauts and the exuberant social and scientific progress of the space shuttle program against the efforts of NASA officials who struggled to meet America's military demands and commercial aspirations. -- adapted from jacket
