Rise of the Rocket Girls: The Women Who Propelled Us, from Missiles to the Moon to MarsThe riveting true story of the women who launched America into space. In the 1940s and 50s, when the newly minted Jet Propulsion Laboratory needed quick thinking mathematicians to calculate velocities and plot trajectories, they didn't turn to male graduates. Rather, they recruited an elite group of young women who, with only pencil, paper, and mathematical prowess, transformed rocket design, helped bring about the first American satellites, and made
The riveting true story of the women who launched America into space. In the 1940s and 50s, when the newly minted Jet Propulsion Laboratory needed quick-thinking mathematicians to calculate velocities and plot trajectories, they didn't turn to male graduates. Rather, they recruited an elite group of young women who, with only pencil, paper, and mathematical prowess, transformed rocket design, helped bring about the first American satellites, and made the exploration of the solar system possible. For the first time, Rise of the Rocket Girls tells the stories of these women -- known as "human computers" -- who broke the boundaries of both gender and science. Based on extensive research and interviews with all the living members of the team, Rise of the Rocket Girls offers a unique perspective on the role of women in science: both where we've been, and the far reaches of space to which we're heading. "If Hidden Figures has you itching to learn more about the women who worked in the space program, pick up Nathalia Holt's lively, immensely readable history, Rise of the Rocket Girls." -- Entertainment WeeklyBinding Type: Paperback

Powerful Superfood Supplement – Start Slow to Avoid GI Upset
These 500mg organic chlorella tablets are a great way to add a nutrient-dense superfood to your daily routine. They’re packed with vitamins, minerals, chlorophyll, and antioxidants, and I definitely noticed a gentle boost in energy and overall wellness after consistent use. The tablets are easy to swallow and made with high-quality, clean ingredients.
That said, it’s important to ease into the dosage—especially if you’re new to chlorella. I experienced some mild gastrointestinal side effects (like bloating and gas) in the beginning, but once I gradually increased my intake over a few days, those symptoms went away. Starting with a lower dose and giving your body time to adjust really helps. Overall, this is a great natural supplement, just be mindful to start slow and stay hydrated!

Take before PM Sleep - Cleans-Out Cell's TOXIC Heavy-Metal contents, promotes Sleep.
GREEN Chlorella (along with BLUE-GREEN Spirulina) can replace ALL your other Supplements at a Fraction of the Cost. Chlorella is recommended just before going to PM Sleep, as it's Main Function is to CLEAN OUT all the Heavy Metal TOXIN's in your body's 38 Trilllion Cells, overnight, plus Promotes Deep REM Sleep, during which all this CLEAN-OUT happens, particularly in your BRAIN. When you wake up, you will feel Refreshed, like you just had a Good Night's Sleep, but without the Bad Side Effects of Sleeping Pills. Combine this by taking BLUE-GREEN Spirulina, soon as you Wake Up in the AM, for Breakfast, then repeat for Lunch, and Dinner too, which is like ROOM SERVICE for FOOD. All you have to do is Eat 6 Tables of It per meal. Did you know BLUE-GREEN Spirulina has 1000x more Vitamins, Minerals, and other Plant Based Nutrients, that the Human Body NEEDS, especially the Magnesium (Mg+) Ions from the Plant Chlorophyll, to Properly Function, and will give you a CALM, GENTLE ENERGY, like a Cup of Japanese GREEN TEA, for the Rest of your Day. You become Mentally Alert, but Body Relaxed, which is why Buddhist Monks use it to Meditate. RINSE then REPEAT, DAILY. Welcome to your New Life. 5-STARS, and suggest you try it too.

Chlorella for heavy metal detox
I use Chlorella in conjunction with Cilantro, DMSA, Modified Citrus Pectin and Zeolites for a heavy metal detox under a physicians protocol. I tested high for Lead, Mercury and Cadmium, as well as trace amounts of other heavy metals.
All our food supplies and tobacco products contain lead and other toxins. Amalgam teeth fillings some dentists use have mercury in them. Let's not even get into tap water. It is insane how much toxins we are exposed too! Chlorella is a natural chelator and binder for heavy metals and toxins. It also has vitamins and minerals in them. I take 6 a day with a meal and it has helped with the detox process tremendously.
I will continue to take these after my heavy metal detox protocol is complete for maintenance purposes. It definitely works!
As with all MicroIngredient products, you are getting tremendous value for the money. A bag will last you a long time.
