The Mercury 13: The Women Who Almost Became Astronauts | Soft-Spoken ASMR
In this soft-spoken ASMR video, I chat about the Mercury 13, a group of women who went through the same physical and psychological tests as the original Mercury 7 astronauts during the early days of the space race.
This is a conversational, non-expert discussion, meant as a gentle introduction and a starting point for anyone curious about this lesser-known piece of history. I reference a few notes on index cards, but mostly it’s a relaxed, thoughtful chat about who these women were and why they were ultimately denied the chance to become astronauts.
If you enjoy quiet history, soft-spoken ASMR, and learning something new without pressure, I hope this video feels like a calm place to land.
