Summary
"The never-before-told story of the barrier-breaking NASA class of 1978, which for the first time consisted of a diverse crew of women, people of color, LGBTQ+ people, and more, and their triumphs and tragedies working on the newly launched space shuttle program, with the exclusive cooperation of five astronauts"-- Provided by the publisher.

Character list
Ad astra
Light this candle
Ten interesting people
Baptism by fire, water, and air
I'll be you
Get the son of a bitch in space
The dream is alive
To have and have not
A feather in her cap
Rocket dawn
We deliver
Yellow death
Much have I traveled
Send me in, coach
Blood moon
The prince and the politician
Beautiful, like America
Godspeed
Speedbrake
All we know of heaven
Nature cannot be fooled
God help you if you screw this up
Through a glass darkly
Closer to God
Everything that rises must converge
Yesterday in Texas
God bless.
