"The year is 1969 and the world is changing. Beehives and miniskirts are all the rage; Everyone is listening to The Beatles; and bag of fish and chips would cost you 25p. NASA has just put the first man on the moon. The world is transfixed and everyone is watching, including eight-year-old Maisie Robinson. From the very moment she saw the moon landings, Maisie knew that she was destined to be an astronaut. In her dreams she travelled beyond the Earth’s atmosphere and flew amongst the brightest of stars. Unknown to Maisie, people had other plans about her future. After all, girls don’t do science, do they?"
