Undeterred, Funk went on to become one of America's first female aviation inspectors and civilian flight instructors, though her dream of being an astronaut never dimmed. In this offbeat odyssey, journalist and fellow space buff Sue Nelson travels with Wally Funk, approaching her 80th birthday, as she races to make her giant leap. Covering their travels across the United States and Europe--taking in NASA's mission control in Houston and Spaceport America in New Mexico, where Funk's ride to space awaits--this is a uniquely intimate and entertaining portrait of a true aviation trailblazer."--Dust jacket flap. 600 10 $a Funk, Mary Wallace, $d 1939- 650 0 $a Women air pilots $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Air pilots $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Astronauts $x Training of. 651 0 $a Outer space $x Political aspects $x Political aspects $z United States. 655 7 $a Biographies. $2 lcgft 941 $a 6 952 $l GEPG771 $d 20210722061133.0 952 $l KTPC296 $d 20200731010805.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200529014921.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20190726011836.0 952 $l KSPG296 $d 20190504011449.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20190330012210.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=2FC3289652B111E9B3ECE36E97128E48 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
