Review:
I did not like the change in narrator for this book. I have consistently found this character off-putting and truly did not find her less so inside her own head. Some of the details revealed helped explain why she was able to cope with the astronaut program (and, oddly, other details made it clear she should not have done well). The "fog of war" approach to different aspects of the astronaut corps not really knowing what other parts were doing as well as sketch communications worked, but it just made me yearn for the smaller scope books which focused on one person and her effort to do one thing--be an astronaut--instead of the narrator for this book who seemed to be doing, well, almost everything. Being one of the first exploring the moon did not jive very well with the concept of the women being after thoughts in the astronaut corps as a whole and so was a little too convenient.
