- Hello, this is my Story Board That for my book club book, Almost Astronauts.
- Text Structure-Chronological
- Look magazine thought that having women go through astronaut training would make a good story and NASA cooperated with them.
- Betty Skelton went in to go through the astronaut training course and she went through all the things the Mercury 7 men went through.
- NASA allowed a women to go into astronaut training but not just any woman, Betty Skelton a top-notch pilot was picked to do it.
- Sign Post- Numbers and Stats
- "Female astronauts would be cost-effective, saving NASA nearly $1,000 per pound"(11).
- This is my book club book- Almost Astronauts
- Mindset-Takes on challenges
- To have women in space, NASA had to allow the women to go through the astronaut training.
- Summary-Aha! Huh? and If/Then
- If woman could go through the space program than it would show that women are just as capable at doing things as men are.
- The writer used this number because it explained how much cheaper it was to have women in space.
- Question
- Knowing that his idea might fail he was still able to succeed.
- Although Lovelace knew it would be hard to get NASA on board with recruiting women to the space program he was able to do it.
- Believe-Hope-Courage-trust in others-faith
- Two things that I found out in the story was one that women all over the US were only considered as home bound cleaners/baby creators and that even though it was unheard of for a woman to go through the space program Randolph Lovelace was able to make it happen
