[edit] Lunacy
[edit] Back Cover blurb
The other side of "The Right Stuff"
Twenty years before Sally Ride became the first woman astronaut to go into space, thirteen American women successfully completed preliminary training but were denied the opportunity to become astronauts... Lunacy is a tribute to some forgotten women of history and a fascinating look at the meaning of the independence and achievement for women.
[edit] Notable quotes
Lewiston: Everyone knows that astronauts must be test pilots.
Jean: Women are not allowed to be test pilots.
Lewiston: There you have it.
Jean: I have been flying commercially since I was eighteen. I have my DC-3 Captain's license. I hold three world records - one for speed and two for distance. I have logged ten thousand hours in the air - twice the flying time of Mr. Glenn. I'm a hell of a flyer, sir. I could pilot that tin can you're sending into space as well as any of those Mercury jocks. You know I could, Lewiston. Waive the test pilot requirement for women!
