The inspirational true story of India's race to the stars - and the women who made it possible. On November 5, 2013, a rocket launched toward Mars. It was India's first interplanetary mission, named Mangalyaan, and a huge gamble. Nine months later, when Mangalyaan successfully entered into Mars' orbit, it created history. Until this point, when we thought of rocket scientists, we imagined men from NASA in crisp white shirts. But India's success instead came from the genius and tireless efforts of scientists in silk sarees. With a Whistle in the Dark follows the stories of three women central to the building of India's space programme, and the success that came after. These women got Indian rockets to Mars, but faced cultural and gender barriers so immense, that by pursuing a life of science, they started a rebellion.
