Sara Howard (1) (1943–)

Ms. Howard’s enthusiasm and dedication to her work spill over in this wonderful book! She not only gives us a unique look at our space program and its inner workings but so much more. Her book was so inspiring that I had to find out more about its author, so I contacted her and found out that she graduated from Louisiana State University with an Honors Degree in Math and Astronomy, that she is a pilot and a sailor, and that she is the founder and first president
of the Shreveport Astronomical Society which is still active today. As one of the first female aerospace engineers to work on the Apollo Space Program, she has so much to share with us and with our kids, and I hope she can visit schools all over the country and share her message
with students that American is a great country and that there is no limit to what they can acheve. This is actually her second book. Her first book was written for kids and is titled The Biggest Explosions in the Universe, so now I guess I’ll have to check that one out, too!… (más)
