Index. Tracking Down JoAnn Morgan, a Semi-Hidden Figure of U.S. Space History. The space program of the 1960s was a man’s world.

There is only one woman at a console, in a dark dress, her hand to her chin. Who is she? I thought of this question again while writing about Apollo 11, the forthcoming documentary by Todd Douglas Miller that uses newly unearthed wide-screen film footage from the National Archives to tell the story of the first moon landing.
