From small-town southern girl to space traveler, Rhea Seddon experienced a life that was on a trajectory of its own from an early age. One of the first six women Astronauts accepted by NASA, Dr. Seddon, a surgeon by training, married Navy Captain Robert “Hoot” Gibson becoming the first Astronaut couple. Their three children became the world’s first Astrotots. A woman of many firsts, Rhea’s compelling story of achieving the American Dream carries a universal message to all that overcoming obstacles of any kind is possible if we persevere and carry the torch of our vision. Her memoir, Go For Orbit, tells of one American woman’s personal journey that will inspire you to reach amazing heights of your own. www.astronautrheaseddon.com
