The Desk in the Corner

El escritorio de la esquina

July 1969. Three weeks before Apollo 11 launches, a 23-year-old intern at NASA finds a tiny number that could kill three astronauts. Nobody wants to hear it from her.

En el verano de 1969, Margaret Ellis tenía veintitrés años y era la empleada más reciente en la oficina de cálculo del Centro Espacial de Houston. No era ingeniera. No era científica.
