The first American woman to test for space flight, Jerrie Cobb, steps into an isolation tank for a record-breaking nine hours. Her memories unfold before her, from learning to fly a plane as a child in Oklahoma to testifying in Congressional hearings about the under-the-radar all-female Mercury 13 space program. A compelling drama about the challenges of sisterhood and fighting for the greater good, “They Promised Her the Moon” is based on a fascinating true story that shines a light on the unknown stories of our space program.
