Over at a Jack in the Box on Wilshire Boulevard, her son Neil took a break from flipping burgers to watch the landing on a grainy television someone had brought in for the occasion. The lunar module contained not just his mother’s work, but his father’s, too. His father, a chemical engineer, had participated in the design of the variable-thrust descent engine that allowed the module to land on the moon. Growing up in his household, Neil may have “just assumed that every mother worked, everybody in the world was brilliant in math and science, well-read, and all that,” but, by the time he was a teenager, Neil was beginning to understand that his family was probably not the norm.
