heres_the_thing's review against another edition
4.0
A detailed and fascinating overview of Sullivan's career as a NASA astronaut working during the 1980s and '90s. Sullivan has a gift for describing complex procedures in an engaging and clear fashion, and I enjoyed seeing the intersection of her interests in deep sea and outer space exploration, as well as the problem-solving that went into the installation of the Hubble telescope. Her eye for detail and generous mentions of her colleagues make for a vivid and enjoyable read.

5.0
I really admire this book. The technical details are fully laid out, but are pretty straightforward for a layperson (such as myself) to follow, or skim, depending on interest level. The author's hard work and determination really come through, along with all the teamwork that went into launching the Hubble. I wouldn't have picked this up had it not been on display for women's history month, so, thanks, library!
