À propos de ce contenu audio

 When we think of the Space Race, we think of astronauts, engineers, and political leaders — almost all men. But behind the scenes, women played critical roles in both the American and Soviet programs, often without recognition. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the stories of women like Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman in space; Katherine Johnson, whose calculations were essential to Apollo; and the Soviet female cosmonaut cadre that was deliberately disbanded after Tereshkova's flight. They discuss the political motivations behind sending women to space, the sexism they faced, and the legacy of NASA's 'human computers.' From the Mercury 13 to the Soviet women's parachute training, this episode uncovers the hidden history of women who helped win the Space Race.
