4:24….. Thats not the prime 17 crew

Play a game and take a shot every time Simon says covers! I bet you you’ll be bombed at the end LOL

I would have thought those covers were valuable even though the astronauts didn't die.

Wouldnt the state have covered a respectable widowers pension for any of the wives relieving them of the need for a life insurance? Seems the decent thing if your going to send them up in space, small cost compared to the whole program.

one of the most important high risk jobs in american history and government couldn't flip the bill for cancel-able (after the mission was a success) life insurances?!! that is fucking cold blooded considering this was all to prevent thermal Nuclear war.

You use green screen, I can tell

USA, I feel, is too selfish for a government. It fails miserably to secure the families of the its own employees – be it the armed forces, the NASA astronauts, the public school teachers and so on. Even the general public's health is not really taken care of.

I didn't quite understand the scheme. Why would the covers be worth their family's upkeep if they died? How about a good old payout from NASA if no insurance company was willing to cover them?

OK how fucking stupid is it that the men traveling into space were not completely compensated for cause you know they're VOLUNTEERING TO POSSIBLY DIE!!!! it's the least the us could do for them ugh how unbelievable that they had the gull to deny the family anything if there husband/father was killed because the government wanted to be better than a bunch of communists ugh should call it dick measuring insurance

Ok, whoops. The first shot is "supposed to be" a Saturn V, but is actually the new SLS.

I don't think Apollo 13 "made it" to the moon.

It's incredible that nasa didn't make provision for the astronaut's families.

For back then, not a lot of other options.

Make a video about "Batalla de puebla" this thursday 🙂

hey simon's back. we missed you.
