Minute 084: Touch the Moon for Us


Listen Later

Jim Lovell floats down the docking port from the Command Module.

“Hey Freddo,” says Lovell, pointing back through the docking port. “It’s too cold back there.”

Haise turns off the cassette player that was playing a slowed-down version of Hank Williams, Jr’s “Honky – Tonkin'”

“Yeah,” agrees Haise. Freddo looks at a card that was stored by his family. The card says:

TOUCH THE MOON FOR US

I LOVE YOU – Mary

Love, Mary

Love, Fred

0h7wwf-  (Steven)

 

“That’s a nice one of Mary,” says Lovell, holding up a snapshot. “You don’t look too good, Freddo,” he adds.

“I’ll survive,” says Haise.

“There’s some aspirin in the medical kit-” says Lovell.

“I took some,” says Haise. “Jim, I’m alright.”

There’s a pause. “It was an accident,” says Freddo.  “Mary getting pregnant. You should have seen the look on my face when she told me.”

“Well,” says Lovell, “That has a tendency to happen.”

“Yeah,” replies Haise, smiling.
