Just watched the Netflix documentary about the Apollo 13 mission last night.
Good stuff.
If you are a space wonk and havenāt already read Gene Kranzās book, I highly recommend it. It has some great insights into the entire space program. Smylie was one of hundreds that saved the 13 crew.

āIām a simple man, I donāt ask for much. Give me a nice comfortable chair, a cool breeze, a ballgame on the radio and an ice-cold beer, and I couldnāt be happier,ā Wendt wrote to open the book.
āTruth be told, if it came down to it, I could live without the chair. A cool breeze is nice, but it isnāt exactly mandatory for a good time. And there are plenty of times when I donāt have access to a ballgame.
āBut a world without beer? I donāt know if thatās the kind of world I want to live in.ā

Not quite as little known a fact, but Wendt passed away on the 32md anniversary of the last episode of Cheers.
