The Calculating Stars

After a catastrophic meteorite strike devastates Earth in the 1950s, humanity faces a rapidly closing window for survival and must accelerate the race into space. Mathematician and pilot Elma York becomes central to the new effort, but institutional sexism and political resistance threaten to keep women out of the astronaut corps. Mary Robinette Kowal blends alternate-history spaceflight with social pressure and personal resolve in a novel about scientific ambition, public change and who gets to shape humanity’s future.
