Sandra And The Stars

Sandra And The Stars

By Rebel Girls

Once upon a time, there was a girl who dreamed of going to the moon. Her name is
Sandra Cauffman, and today she is an electrical engineer who works at NASA.

On a summer night in Costa Rica, Sandra watched the first moon landing on her neighbor's TV. After seeing Neil Armstrong’s boot touch the moon’s surface, she knew then, that she wanted to be part of the adventure!
