I wish I REALLY could have been an astronaut....but one of the components of astronaut training involves being able to tolerate high gravity forces, as well as dizziness! Plus you have to be a good athlete, as well as good in science. Sadly, I am neither....sigh....<br /><br />Well, at least I'll get to read about it!

And yes, it's really hard to believe that not that long ago, it was considered "a novelty", as you put it, for women to go out into space. <br /><br />You know, I think that Star Trek TOS had a LOT to do with that stupid notion being laid to rest. Lol. Uhura and nurse Chapel were trailblazers. Then, in Star Trek Voyager, we had Captain Janeway.Maria Beharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13635809880830316283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276110560172164522.post-11186635354874725562018-06-29T13:48:04.206-04:002018-06-29T13:48:04.206-04:00Hi, Jenea!

A calamity, such as described in this book may very well have accelerated the process the way that World War II opened the door to many opportunities for women outside the home. I wonder if Mary Robinette had the World War II model in mind.Brian Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139559400312336791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5276110560172164522.post-43581291424929854122018-06-27T05:36:46.456-04:002018-06-27T05:36:46.456-04:00Sounds really good!!!
