Tells the true story of America's first women astronauts--six extraordinary women, each making history going to orbit aboard NASA's Space Shuttle.
When NASA sent astronauts to the moon in the 1960s and 1970s the agency excluded women from the corps, arguing that only military test pilots--a group then made up exclusively of men--had the right stuff. It was an era in which women were steered away from jobs in science and deemed unqualified for space...

For Pete Conrad, it was all about the ride. Whether he was flat-hatting fifty feet off the deck going Mach 2, test-flying every supersonic jet the Navy developed (including some they shouldn't have), orbiting the Earth at almost 20,000 mph, or just redlining his Corvette on a country road outside Houston, he loved pushing the envelope. Still, he wasn't exactly the squeaky-clean poster boy NASA astronaut. He wasn't tall, dark, and movie-star handsome....
