Undeterred, Funk went on to become one of America's first female aviation inspectors and civilian flight instructors, though her dream of being an astronaut never dimmed. In this offbeat odyssey, journalist and fellow space buff Sue Nelson travels with Wally Funk, approaching her 80th birthday, as she races to make her giant leap. Covering their travels across the United States and Europe--taking in NASA's mission control in Houston and Spaceport America in New Mexico, where Funk's ride to space awaits--this is a uniquely intimate and entertaining portrait of a true aviation trailblazer."--Dust jacket flap.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 629.13092 Funk Ne Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 629.13092 Funk Ne Checked In Add Copy to MyList
