This story ran yesterday on most public radio stations. Enjoy!

“Imagine, for a moment, that you’re a publisher hearing a pitch about a children’s book whose tangled plot braids together quantum physics, fractions and megaparsecs (a measure for distances in intergalactic space).

She was 55 and lived in Houston.

She read A Wrinkle in Time as a child, and it inspired her to become an astronaut. She even took a copy with her on the space shuttle.
