If you didn't watch the Astronaut Wives Club on ABC tonight, I would highly recommend watching it next week.
For anyone that knows me, Apollo 13 is one of my favorite movies and the book by Jim Lovell of the same name was fabulous as well. A few summers ago, I read a new release called the Astronaut Wives Club (my review). It was definitely a page-turner and I remember starting and finishing it Fourth of July weekend. For me the book, was basically a female version of Apollo 13. It was amazing to see what those wives went through so that their husbands could be part of the space program.
The show was just as good and I'm excited to see what they can do with only 10 episodes. Some of the cast was recognizable actors and actresses, including Harry from Sex and the City. It makes me want to read the book again because a lot was included in the first episode, which highlighted the start of the program, the Life Magazine shoots of the wives and the first launch of an unmanned and then manned space capsule.
Don't miss it next Thursday at 8 p.m. on ABC!! Even non history lover or space enthusiasts should find it entertaining!
