The Mercury 13: The True Story of Thirteen Women and the Dream of Space Flight In 1961, as NASA prepared to launch its first man into space, a group of thirteen women underwent secret testing in the hopes of becoming America's first female astronauts. These remarkable women, all crack pilots and patriots, sacrificed jobs and marriages for a chance to participate in the country's space race against the Soviet Union. Despite their dedication and skill, they were summarily dismissed by the "boys' club" at NASA and on Capitol Hill, and their dreams were crushed. However, their stories have never been told until now. Martha Ackmann tells the dramatic tale of the Mercury 13, who passed the same battery of tests as the legendary Mercury 7 astronauts at the Lovelace Foundation, but were denied the opportunity to join the space program. Through extensive interviews with the women themselves, as well as Chuck Yeager, John Glenn, Scott Carpenter, and others at NASA and in the White House, Ackmann reveals the little-known true story of these extraordinary women.
The Mercury 13: The True Story of Thirteen Women and the Dream of Space Flight В 1961 году, когда НАСА готовилось к запуску своего первого человека в космос, группа из тринадцати женщин прошла тайное тестирование в надежде стать первыми в Америке женщинами-астронавтами. Эти замечательные женщины, все крэк-пилоты и патриоты, пожертвовали работой и браками ради шанса поучаствовать в космической гонке страны против Советского Союза. Несмотря на их самоотверженность и мастерство, они были суммарно уволены «клубом мальчиков» в НАСА и на Капитолийском холме, и их мечты были сокрушены. Однако их истории до сих пор ни разу не рассказывали. Марта Акманн рассказывает драматическую историю Меркурия-13, который прошел ту же батарею испытаний, что и легендарные астронавты Меркурия-7 в Фонде Лавлейса, но был лишен возможности присоединиться к космической программе. Благодаря обширным интервью с самими женщинами, а также Чаком Йегером, Джоном Гленном, Скоттом Карпентером и другими в НАСА и в Белом доме, Акманн раскрывает малоизвестную подлинную историю этих неординарных женщин.
