Sky’s The Limit Podcast: The female fight for space with Amy Shira Teitel

On this episode of Sky’s The Limit, hosts Anna Grbas and Hannah Dowling are joined by Amy Shira Teitel to discuss her latest biographical novel, titled Fighting for Space, which tells the story of the women vying to become NASA’s first female astronauts, and the Mercury 13.

Amy herself is a woman of many talents – she’s a space historian, YouTuber, TV host, and now, a biographical author.

In the episode, Amy tells us the story of Jackie Cochran and Jerrie Cobb, two distinguished pilots who dreamed of flying to space, and the rivalry between them that contributed to the downfall of the Mercury 13 program.
