Rise of the Rocket Girls: The Women Who Propelled Us, from Missiles to the Moon to Mars Free Audiobook Download by Nathalia Holt

In her powerful and moving debut, Holt tells the stories of the "Rocket Girls" who were at the forefront of America's rocket science efforts. They were women like Margaret Hamilton, Katharine Johnson, and Dorothy Vaughan who created the first computers that guided missiles; designed the first satellite tracking system; and even helped NASA send astronauts to orbit on every Mercury and Gemini mission.

The first female engineer to be hired at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration was Katherine Johnson, who helped to calculate the orbit of John Glenn's final flight. Kathrine and her team calculated a variety of space missions and were responsible for landing men on the moon in 1969. In her book, author Nathalia Holt chronicles the lives of these women and how they changed our world.

Rise of the Rocket Girls: The Women Who Propelled Us, from Missiles to the Moon to Mars is an audiobook about the women who helped launch modern day America.

Between 1903-1917, a team of women led by Dr. Maria Begemann and Dr. Katherine Johnson used math and engineering to work on America's military rocketry program at the U.S. Army Signal Corps laboratory in Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. These "rocket girls" became vital to American space exploration in the 1940s, when they designed ballistic missiles that launched satellites into orbit and helped win World War II for the United States

In the early twentieth century, women were a vital part of the space industry which would eventually lead to landing on the moon. Nathalia Holt provides an in-depth perspective of women who have made history with their scientific contributions in Rise of the Rocket Girls: The Women Who Propelled Us, from Missiles to the Moon to Mars.
