Yeah Keira and I were sitting in the minivan one day waiting for her mom to finish grocery shopping, and I commented, "how'd you like to spend two weeks straight in an area smaller than these front seats, with equipment everywhere in front of you and beside you, with nothing but a window a little smaller than a football a foot in front of your face to look out of for two weeks?? That's what Frank Borman and Jim Lovell did on Gemini 7..."

"Not so much", she said...

Those guys really did have, "the right stuff" compared to nowdays...

Later! OL J R
