Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })On a cold spring night in 1952, a huge meteorite fell to earth and obliterated much of the east coast of the United States, including Washington D.C. The ensuing climate cataclysm will soon render the Earth inhospitable for humanity, as the last such meteorite did for the dinosaurs. This looming threat calls for a radically accelerated effort to colonize space, and requires a much larger share of humanity to take part in the process.This is the setting of Mary Robinette Kowal's Lady Astronaut series, written as prequels to her 2012 novelette The Lady Astronaut of Mars.In 2018, she released the first two books as a duology. The first book, The Calculating Stars, begins with our heroine Elma York and her husband narrowly surviving the meteorite impact thanks to a fortunate camping trip, and chronicles the discovery that the resulting climate change will render Earth uninhabitable, kicking the space race into overdrive as colonization of other planets becomes humanity's only hope for survival. The next book, The Fated Sky, deals with the effort to colonize Mars.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Book three, The Relentless Moon, was released July 14 of 2020, to be followed by The Martian Contingency in 2023 or 2024. | |

Implied with Nathaniel. We know he is also Jewish and has blonde hair and blue eyes. Elma never mentions them having cultural differences. | |

Ace Pilot: Elma was a WASPnote Women Airforce Service Pilot during World War II. When we first meet her, she flies her and her husband to a nearby airbase while flaming meteorite debris is falling from the sky. | |

All Jews Are Ashkenazi | |
| Lady Astronaut / int_7f6a0b31 | comment |
All Jews Are Ashkenazi: Elma, she mentions her grandparents speaking Yiddish as a Second Language (although with a southern twang.) She wouldn't describe herself as fluent but Word of God says that's due to a lack of confidence not ability. Implied with Nathaniel. We know he is also Jewish and has blonde hair and blue eyes. Elma never mentions them having cultural differences. However, Parker's wife, Miriam, is sephardic and he assumes Elma to be likewise as she is from Charleston, SC, which has a high sephardic population. | |
