As American astronauts were launched on death-defying missions, television cameras focused on the brave smiles of their wives. Overnight, these women were transformed from shy military spouses to American royalty: having tea with Jackie Kennedy, attending high society galas, and being featured on the cover of Life magazine. Sexy and sophisticated, rich in melodrama, and set against the uniquely atmospheric backdrop of the Space Age, 'The Astronauts' Wives Club' tells the real story behind some of the biggest heroes in American history.
