Rise of the Rocket Girls: The Women Who Propelled Us, from Missiles to the Moon to Mars | Nathalia Holt

#AyupAugust
I am not familiar with this song but when I read #SleepingSatellite was about the Apollo missions of the 1960s & the moon & sung by a woman, these three titles came to mind. I shelved them all after watching The Astronaut Wives Club tv series & Hidden Figures movie but can‘t seem to get around to finishing all the books. 📚📚📚😬🛰🌚🚀🛸📚📚📚📚

squirrelbrain I read Hidden Figures this year and unfortunately it was a bit dry.... Great post! 😁 5y

Cinfhen Another stellar post🙌🏻❣️🎉✨ 5y

#BookMail #WelcomeHomeCheer Thank you so much @Kalalalatja 💕💕💕💕what a lovely surprise to come home to 😁After two long but uneventful flights, followed by a luggage snafu in Israel, I found myself in a deep #SleepingSatellite today. Just waking up to an empty fridge and a huge amount of unpacking and organizing to deal with. Can‘t wait to settle in with my new books📚 #AyUpAugust

Quieter than Sleep | Joanne Dobson

I feel like I read this, though I don‘t have it recorded as read on LibraryThing; I may have read another by Dobson... In any case, I would have read this nearly 20 yeas ago, so a reread would be in order!

Dobson writes a mystery series set in academia with a English professor as an amateur sleuth. The titles in this series are based on the classics, hence this one referencing sleep and Emily Dickinson. #SleepingSatellite #ayupaugust

Crazeedi I've never hear of this series! Sounds like it might be worth checking out 5y

squirrelbrain It does sound good doesn‘t it @crazeedi?! 5y

Light from Other Stars | Erika Swyler

This book is gorgeous so far. I remember looking for Halley‘s Comet and the subsequent Challenger explosion when I was in elementary school as well. My experiences of those two events were very similar to Nedda‘s, except she was so close to the shuttle launch, her school shook! #sleepingsatellite #ayupaugust

Cinfhen, squirrelbrain

Crazeedi Sounds very good! 5y

Megabooks @Crazeedi It is so far. The older I‘ve gotten, the more I like this type of sci-fi. Things that have a basis in current times/reality, but twist it or move to the near future. (This, Dark Matter, The Martian, etc.) 5y

squirrelbrain I distinctly remember watching Challenger on Newsround, which was a UK news programme for kids. Sounds like a good book.... 5y

Crazeedi @Megabooks I've not really read much sci fi, I should push my boundaries!🤔 5y

Megabooks @squirrelbrain I‘m really enjoying it! 5y

Megabooks @Crazeedi I find having some grounding in a world I understand, makes it more enjoyable for me. I liked more “typical” sci-fi/fantasy in my youth, but my preferences have changed over the years. 5y

Scochrane26 I read this for book club in July & really liked it. First book I‘ve read that has Challenger in it, which was an important event in my childhood, too. Pushed my boundaries because of sci-fi but loved the relationships and themes. Hope you like the rest of it! 5y

Crazeedi @Megabooks that sounds about right, I dont know if I want to jump in to alternative realities from the get go. A little fantasy, time travel etc is good, but nothing too wacky. I'm too old for trying to keep everything straight and figure everything out. Lol 5y

From Earth to the Moon | Jules Verne

Apparently the song #sleepingsatellite is about man‘s exploration to space, the moon, in particular, as it was written at the 20th anniversary of the first manned landing on the moon.

The book follows 3 members of a post-Civil War gun club who design and build a ‘canon‘ and ride a spaceship fired from it all the way to the moon. Haven‘t read it.. it‘s considered one of the most scientifically accurate of the early Moon voyages! #ayupaugust

squirrelbrain Sounds intriguing! 🚀 5y

erzascarletbookgasm I don‘t know this 🤷‍♀️ 5y

batsy I remember the movie but didn't watch it! Interesting; didn't know it was a book. 5y

DGRachel @TrishB @Cathythoughts @batsy @squirrelbrain @erzascarletbookgasm I cried through the entire movie. I watched in the the theater when in was released and sobbed the whole time. I can't imagine reading the book. 5y

Cathythoughts @DGRachel ahhh! I cant remember it so well. But Robin Williams is such a brilliant actor 5y

Book not listed (I've tagged one of the author's other books) but I swear it's on Goodreads, I haven't made it up for this prompt.
@squirrelbrain @Cinfhen

squirrelbrain 🤣🤣🤣that could be a whole new book challenge - making up books! 5y

TrishB @squirrelbrain I‘d have thought she was extra special for making it up! 5y
