Alternative history - a meteor hits the earth in 1952 and humanity have to get the space program working in order to survive the extinction event level weather changes. Told from the point of view of a female pilot who wants to become an astronaut. I enjoyed this book, but it didn't really pay off the initial setup? Maybe that's because it's the first in a series. It felt like it started with a bang, and then ran out of energy. Still, the main character was intriguing enough to keep me going, although her husband was just unbelievable. Too good to be true. Reminded me of the husband NPCs created by Mathew Mercer.
