AUCTION – The Fated Sky Cross Stitch
Quantity: 1
Donated by:
Alyshondra Meacham
The Fated Sky Cross Stitch!
This cross stitch is 10.5″ in diameter and is based off from Mary Robinette Kowal’s book The Fated Sky!
A custom-designed cross stitch kit is based on Florence’s needlework in The Fated Sky, designed by Mary Robinette Kowal’s first reader (and Worldbuilders supporter,) Alyshondra Meacham.
The Fated Sky continued the grand sweet of alternate history begun in The Calculating Stars. It is 1961, and the International Aerospace Coalition has established a colony on the moon. Elma York, the noted Lady Astronaut, is working on rotation, flying shuttles on the moon and returning regularly to Earth.
But humanity must get a foothold on Mars. The first exploratory mission is being planned, and none of the women astronauts is on the crew list. The international Aerospace Coalition has grave reservations about sending their “Lady Astronauts” on such a dangerous mission. The problem with that is that need for midjourney navigation calculations. The new electronic computation machines are not reliable and not easily programmed. It might be okay for a backup, but there will have to be a human computer on board. And all the computers are women.
Worldbuilders is very grateful to Alyshondra Meacham for this donation.
