About This Show

The first women to train in the United States astronaut program are honored in this passionate play set in the 1960s. Mercury 13, the elite group of American female pilots are put through the same rigorous training and testing administered to their male counterparts until a Senate subcommittee decided in 1962, that women were an unnecessary complication in the US – Soviet Space Race.
