Once again thinking about how desperately I want Jane Conrad's wardrobe...

Guysssss I think I may have found (at least part of) the origin of "tell Conrad to get his kids off my roof"

The text next to the picture reads: "Peter Conrad, 10-year-old son of astronaut Charles Conrad Jr., heads for a "soft landing" from the roof of his home. Lacking fancy gadgets such as retro rockets or parasails, young Conrad uses a fancy umbrella to slow his fall. The purpose of the policeman's whistle in the Lad's mouth was not explained—but he made a safe landing."

I really wish Jim Lovell and Pete Conrad had ended up on a crew together. I mean, it's probably good they didn't, because they never would've gotten anything done, but it would have been fun

Everyone always talks about Gus and Deke (who I love, to be clear), but an underrated set of Astronaut Besties is Jim Lovell and Pete Conrad. They're so funny together. It's Pete's fault that Jim was called shaky. They're always hanging out. Also Jane and Marilyn are such cute friends.

The really funny thing about Pete Conrad's bet with the reporter is that it didn't even prove anything. Like Pete Conrad of all people would absolutely just get in trouble with nasa over 400 1969 dollars and a stupid joke. He's already on the moon. What are they gonna do about it?? Fire him??? What does he care he's already been to the moon????
