Recently, we watched the movie ‘The Right Stuff’. I had loved the book when it first came out - I thought it was the funniest book I’d ever read - and have now seen the movie a couple of times.

I still think the book is better (as books usually are) but it’s a great movie, if anyone is interested in these things.

It’s amazing to me what these men and their families went through to do all of this for us.

(My husband kept commenting that it was too bad that Yeager never became an astronaut, and I kept countering that he’d probably have been really bored, if he had :-)

Q: what’s the difference between Neil Armstrong and Michael Jackson?

A: Neil was the first person to walk on the Moon, while Michael Jackson was a pedophile.
