A look into what it was like to be married to an American hero during the late 60's and early 70's. After learning what the wives put up with from NASA and what the expectations were, I realized we have indeed "come a long way baby". It was a picture of perfection that was to be presented to the public and the wives and children were expected to deliver that. They relied on each other and smoking and drinking were a way they coped with the stress. Most of them divorced but many of them are still friends to this day. A good read and I recommend it.
