Challenger Park is about Lucy Kincheloe, an astronaut about to go on her first space mission.
Lucy and her husband Brian are astronauts and share two children. Brian’s giant ego is threatening his career, and it’s affecting their entire family dynamic as well. At work, Lucy finds herself drifting closer to Walt Womack, her trainer. As this drama unfolds, we get a fun inside glimpse at the training process for going into outer space.

Challenger Park is unique and incredibly interesting. It’s captivating, and there’s nothing boring about it—even if you’re not typically interested in stuff about sci-fi or space.
Lucy’s character is great. She’s extremely intelligent, which makes her highly intriguing. I also love how we get to learn numerous facts and tidbits about the history of space exploration, and are given an inside look on the lives of astronauts.
