There’s a lot of good complaints to be had on the writing and presentation side. They really did not make it as good a show as it could have been. It really is a fascinating story. Done right it could have been another Mad Men (same era, a lot of the same social commentary), and they really never elevated their game that high. It was a pretty darn good show that had the potential for greatness. But it was still pretty darn good. And watching it gave me an excuse to show The Right Stuff to the wife (one of my favorite movies ever), as she kept asking “how do you know this” and TRS was always the answer.
‘The Right Stuff’ (the book) is one of the most interesting and *hilarious* books I’ve ever read.

The crew of Apollo 8 is a one-of-a-kind crew. Not only did they achieve the first manned flight to the moon, but they are the only crew that are still married to their first and ONLY wives.
