Yep. Pretty much. Not much force acting out there, and traveling really fast.
They were some really really tough dudes. The selection process was extremely competitive and the training regimen was insane. They were all pilots for the military before becoming astronauts, so already elite...
Haha. Seriously.
Something that I spend a lot of time thinking about is this: when the guys on 13 were using the moon's gravity to turn around and come back towards earth, they were further away from home than any humans in history. Think of that. Those guys are legends. That crosses my mind...

It is kind of weird. Like, why did they make a post about that?
Did they also make a post when they started offering dental insurance? Or, when they change the paid-time-off policy? They could have offered whatever services they wanted to their employees then said nothing to the public.
50-50 on that. You're missing out on a great rod. Not a huge fan of the Mirage reels though. Or any Orvis reels for that matter.
Lucky for me, I don't give a flying f**k about a company's politics. It's awesome. Check it out sometime.
