Apollo wives

Having just watched 'Apollo Wives' for the second time tonight, do any of you agree they'd really be an asset toi A14? I bet some, at least, would be thrilled to be asked: they seemed articulate, intelligent and FULL of fascinating biographical details.....

(Of course, some possible astronaut attendees might be unhappy about sharing a hotel with their ex!)

I think thats the key problem, so few of them are still married to their first husbands. I seem to remember at the end of that documentary they said something like all the women at that reunion had either been widowed or divorced from the astronaut they were married to.

 

That said I did wonder if Marilyn Lovell would attend the show when Jim Lovell appeared last year. I'm sure she would have been really interesting to talk to. Maybe thats why she stays away, to avoid people asking her to re-live Apollo 13 all the time.
