In 1961, humanity has a moon colony, but the next frontier is Mars. Elma York, the Lady Astronaut, faces a new challenge when women are excluded from the dangerous Mars mission, despite their crucial skills. With unreliable electronic computers, a human calculator is essential, and all the best ones are women.
