Download Rocket Girl: The Story of Mary Sherman Morgan, America's First Female Rocket Scientist AudioBook Free
In 1938, a young German rocket lover known as Wernher von Braun had dreams of creating a rocket that can take a flight him to the moon. In Ray, North Dakota, a young farm girl known as Mary Sherman was participating high school. In an age when girls rarely dreamed of a job in knowledge, Mary wished to be considered a chemist. Ten years later, the dreams of these two disparate individuals would coalesce with techniques neither could have imagined. World Battle II and the Freezing War space contest with the Russians modified the fates of both von Braun and Mary Sherman Morgan. When von Braun and other top technicians could not find a remedy to the repeated failures that plagued the nascent US rocket program, UNITED STATES Aviation, where Sherman Morgan then worked, was given the challenge. Recognizing her talent for chemistry, company management flipped the assignment to young Mary. In the long run, America succeeded in releasing rockets into space, but only because of the joint attempts of the brilliant farm young lady from North Dakota and the famous German scientist. While von Braun continued to become a high-profile shape in NASA's manned space airline flight, Mary Sherman Morgan and her efforts dropped into obscurity - as yet.
