This book may be an alternate history, envisioning a world where a meteorite smashed into the Atlantic Ocean in the 1950s and wiped out the entire US Eastern seaboard, causing global climate shifts that could cause the earth to be uninhabitable by the year 2000 and catapulting the space race into overdrive...but it's also based on the true story of the women computers and would-be astronauts who were involved in the space race that actually happened, giving it the feel of really well done historical fiction. It's sort of like The Martian meets Hidden Figures, and I loved it.
