50th anniversary, as the pressure to be ahead of the Russians.
The pilots were on NASA yesterday. They were funny and learned about what they went through. They explained being on top of that ship in the capsule was like being a ladybug on top of an antenna. If the bottom of the antenna moved a little bit the top moved or got swung around a lot. During the journey one threw up a couple of times.
There was a lot of funny comments but the last one was the funniest when they landed and a wave hitting it made it hard.
A navy diver was swimming around setting things up and life rafts were set around it. They seen him making the thumbs up sign as he moved around it and looking right at them so one remembered his face. They opened the door and the diver stuck his head in and then suddenly fell back.
He saw him after dressed in his navy suit. He ask him about when he fell back after he opened the door. Was it because of the way we looked he asked?
The navy diver said no sir, it was the smell.
