Event Details

Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid

Joan Goodwin, a professor of physics and astronomy at Rice University, dreams of going to space after seeing an ad for NASA’s space shuttle program. Selected in 1980, she trains at Johnson Space Center with fellow candidates, including Top Gun pilot Hank Redmond, scientist John Griffin, mission specialist Lydia Danes, warmhearted Donna Fitzgerald, and aeronautical engineer Vanessa Ford. As they prepare for their first flights, Joan finds new passion and love, questioning her place in the universe. Everything changes on mission STS-LR9 in December 1984.
