Talking About Women In Spaceflight
/
Some months ago, before the pandemic hit and we didn’t need to social-distance, space historian Amy Shira Teitel invited me to her studio to talk about the backstory of how American women first came to fly in space. It’s a fascinating story that has been told incorrectly so many times. Amy’s latest book, Fighting for Space: Two Pilots and Their Historic Battle for Female Spaceflight, is one of the very few books that tells the history as it is, rather than what others want it to be. I hope you enjoy our spirited discussion (complete with gratuitous cat appearance).
