Amy Shira Teitel on Instagram: "Like I wasn’t going to respond to this… threw this together super quick last night. The most frustrating thing is getting into the full explanation always requires more attention and detail that I can fit into something for social media. But I’m going to keep trying to distill down the explanations! For now, this is the best I could do super quick — time was tight! #author #history #space #nasa #apollo #science #moon #kardashian"

Amy Shira Teitel on Instagram: "Full doc linked in my bio! It actually came up a few times in the flight, Houston asked to check someone’s biomeds and they weren’t connected. I think Houston would have liked the data but they never really pushed for it. #author #history #space #apollo #nasa"

Listening to the mission audio, Jim Lovell is almost calm, almost sounds like he’s adding a little after thought when he mentions the venting! I thought this was such an interesting comparison between fact and fiction! #author #history #space #apollo #apollo13"

Amy Shira Teitel on Instagram: "This wasn’t a one-off. There’s a decently rich history of America getting planes to the RCAF through creative means with the ultimate end of helping Britain in the war against Hitler. I’ve known about the horse-drawn planes for a while, but rolling it down the hill was a new one for me! As always, there’s more to the story, but just wanted to share the little tidbit! #history #author"

I’m endlessly in love with the speed and innovation of the Gemini program — 12 missions in 20 months that turned the space program from orbiting missions into true flights living and working in space.
