The time is 1962; the place is a locker room in a small Midwestern town; the team is The Shooting Stars, a novelty all-female basketball team. As The Shooting Stars prepare to face off against the local men's team, the young women emerge as distinct personalities who reveal the lives they’ve abandoned to join the traveling team. The entrance of the team's male owner, creates a stir as he oversees every aspect of the women’s lives: from diet to hair style, from the language they’re allowed to use to the way they’re allowed to play the game. But when an unexpected event changes everything, the women are given the chance to chart their own destiny—forced to choose between abandoning the sport that they love or rising into the groundbreakers that they are capable of becoming.

AHS Robotics Team meets Norm Chaffee of NASA
The AHS Robotics Team was honored to invite retired NASA Engineer Norm Chaffee to speak at Ashland High School. Mr. Chaffee worked in NASA’s Propulsion and Power Division from 1962 to 1983, working as the deputy division chief 1980-84 and again in 1987-90, according to the NASA Johnson Space Center Oral History Project.
He also worked on the International Space Station program from 1984-87, and was manager for engineering and integration for the NASA Lunar Mars Exploration program. He became deputy chief for NASA’s Robotics and Automation division in 1991, working there until 1996. He worked on the Johnson Space Center’s Public Affairs’ Education and Information Services branch from 1995-98, and retired in 1998.
He was named NASA Engineer of the Year in 1987 and received the NASA Outstanding Leadership Medal in 1993, according to the JSC Oral History Project.
His fondest memory is of Apollo 8, a 1968 mission with the goal of orbiting — not landing on — the moon before returning to Earth.
“For the first time, people on Earth, including me and the control room, could see the lunar surface from about 50 miles up, and so we were just transfixed,” Chaffee said.
