A new television drama series based on the book by Lily Koppel, The
Astronaut Wives Club focuses on seven women who were key players
behind some of the biggest events in American history. As America’s
astronauts were launched on death-defying missions, the lives of their
young wives were transformed, seemingly overnight, from military
spouses to American royalty. As their celebrity rose, and tragedy
began to touch their lives, they rallied together.
