Great insight, thanks for sharing. Your aunt sounds like a very interesting woman.
That indeed she was. She was fortunate to work with a great group of rocketeers who loved what they did..... hypersonic flight. She wrote a technical note that was appended to one of the other papers entitled “Point return landings from the moon to the earth”. The year was 1959.....guess where they got the quick reference for equations when Apollo 13 happened???
