The calculating stars
Una fredda mattina di primavera del 1952: un gigantesco meteorite precipita sulla Terra e cancella buona parte della costa orientale degli Stati Uniti, compresa la città di Washington. Lo sconvolgimento climatico che ne segue renderà presto il pianeta inabitabile per l'uomo, proprio come successo milioni di anni prima, all'epoca dell'estinzione dei dinosauri. L'unica soluzione è lasciare il vecchio mondo, prima che sia troppo tardi. È così che il programma spaziale mondiale subisce una rapida accelerazione, e in molti vengono coinvolti. Tra questi, Elma York: la sua esperienza come pilota militare e matematica fa sì che venga reclutata nell'International Aerospace Coalition, che sta cercando di portare l'uomo sulla Luna. Come lei molte altre donne, scienziate e pilote di grande abilità, alle quali però si chiede solo di occuparsi dei calcoli. Ciò a cui Elma aspira è invece salire su una navicella spaziale. Perché solo gli uomini possono farlo? La sua determinazione a diventare la prima Donna Astronauta spazzerà via molte delle assurde convenzioni sociali del tempo.
