    Was remembering a documentary about the wives of the spacemen at the time these guys came back as superstars they were more famous than film stars . Will that came wine woman and song many of these men ended up with failed marriages..

    One said that at the dinner party with President Nixon said he was ***ist and rather rude to the wives of these men and largely ignored them.Not well liked then was Nixon.
