As a kid, I was space-crazy. But I ended up focusing on SF visions rather than seeking a path to work with a #space program because 'everyone knew only men could be #astronauts' and, at the time, I was a little girl.
Decades later I learned about the many women performing critical work including programming and weaving hard-coded wiring -- even hand-stitching the spacesuits for use in vaccum!
It felt like a major betrayal to never have known this during the height of #TheSpaceRace
