Previously on
"the astronaut wives club"...

What's going on in here?

I'm so sorry.
They were just playing.

It's ménière's.
There's no cure.

I'm never going up again.

I'm really going to be able
to hear the mission control

Talk to my husband
while he's in space?

Your son is fighting
for his life.

You'd rather be here
than be there for him?

[ applause ]

We'd make a great
presidential ticket.

Jo: One of your best friends
just died.

If we give up on the moon,

Then gus will have died
for nothing.

Robert f. Kennedy:
1968 is a year

Of unprecedented turbulence,

Danger, and questioning.

Uncertainty at home
and a divisive war abroad

Have led to a deep crisis
of confidence --

Confidence in our leadership,
in each other,

And our very self as a nation.

It is perhaps well to ask
what kind of nation we are

And what direction we want
to move in.

I was involved in many of
the early decisions on vietnam.

Can you see rene?

And i've come here today
to ask for your help...

Wait. I think that was
the back of annie's head.

...Not for me,
but your country

And for the people
of vietnam.
[ car door closes ]

The war must be ended.

What is he talking about?
We can't leave vietnam yet.

[ applause ]
[ sighs ]

Wally.
Hey, dad.

Marty. [ sighs ]

It is good to be home.

[ kisses ]

[ speaking indistinctly ]

Is something wrong?

I thought you were happy

With how the capsule
was coming along.

The capsule's ready to go.
It's everything else.

Dunk's putting
tv cameras on board

So we can wave from space.

And then they want
these experiments

That are gonna pull
our focus.

And what do you want?

I wanna get up, get down,
and not kill anyone.

[ lowered voice ]
not in front of the kids.

Jo, he's 18.

Not for a few months yet,
and that's beside the point.

We need to send more troops.

I mean, this war
is still winnable.

Right, dad?

Sure.

Sure.
[ applause ]

[ sighs ]

This flight is it.

I'm quitting.

But what about the moon?

I'm gonna finish the mission
gus started,

Then i'm announcing
my retirement.

[ exhales ] wally...

...Year,

But it's also
a year of choice --

A year when we choose not
simply who will lead us,

But where we wish to be led --

To the country we want
for ourselves and our children.

Thank you.

[ applause ]

[ crowd chanting indistinctly ]

[ laughter ]

You know, the campaign's been
to six cities in three days.

Rene calls him "bobby" now.

Everyone calls him "bobby."
[ laughter ]

Stop telling me i'm crazy!

I'm not crazy!

[ lowered voice ]
keep it down, please.

[ utensils clink ]
but you're never home.

Or in your motel room.

Walt and wally like
to joke around.

Then we have to work
overtime.

What about the matchbook
i found from the beverly hilton?

You're blaming that
on your crew members, too?

[ clears throat ]
is everything okay here?

Yes. We're -- we're good.

Donn, can i talk to you
for a second?

Excuse me.
Sure.

So my thanks to all of you,

And let's win there.

Congratulations, senator.

California's all yours.

Well, we're on our way now.

Thank you for your support.

♪♪♪

Hon, why are we even talking
about my flight?

Wally and the guys
are up first.

Well, dunk told us
that apollo 8

Will be
the most dangerous mission yet.

He said the odds are 50/50.

Look, frank,
what does that even mean?

I think you know
what that means.

Oh.

I guess i was hoping
you'd say something else.

[ exhales ] could you...

Look, you ladies are the ones
who demanded

To know the truth
about these things.

What's also true is that
i love you.

So we'll talk about everything
when i get home, okay?

[ whispers ] okay.

I love you, too.

Okay.

Who's your guy?
Nixon or humphrey?

Whoever can make me
the first man on the moon.

Well, you might wanna
settle for second.

You haven't heard?
They want a civilian.

With everything
going on overseas,

They're worried about it looking
like a military operation.

Good afternoon, gordo.

Frank, is my husband
in his office?

I believe he is, yes.

Great.

I'd check the door
before you enter.

What's the temp today?

Sub-zero.

[ hums ]

What? It's a joke.

It's not funny.

I brought you lunch.

Thought it might cheer you up.

Huh. It's gonna take more
than a turkey sandwich,

But thank you.

Look, i know that running
things with deke

Isn't enough for you.

But you have the bank.

That's going so well.

I really think it's another
outlet for you.

We're finally sending men
up again.

I wanna be one of them.

I wanna go to the moon.

Alan, you can't.

What if i can?

I've been reading about
this new ménière's surgery.

I'm going for tests.

Come with me.

[ sighs ]

The press is gonna be
all over harriet

After the launch.

You mind giving her
a little pep talk?

About what?
Donn's the problem.

Look, i don't like the guy
very much either,

But we're so close
to putting apollo 1 behind us

And getting this thing
back on track.

That's what i want people
talking about,

Not the first...Astro-divorce.

The women listen to you,
red.

You're good at keeping
these marriages rolling.

You sure about that?

Personally,
i'm one-for-two.

Oh.

You were young.

You didn't have the future
of the space program

Riding on ya.

[ chuckles ] i may have
a few helpful tricks

Up my sleeve.

Oh. Really?

Mm-hmm.

For example...

If you only want your husband

To drive to the store
and back...

[ unzips pants ]

Never send him off
with a full tank.

Okay.

Man: 20 months
and several unmanned missions

After the apollo 1 tragedy,
we have liftoff.

Wally schirra, donn eisele,
and walter cunningham

Are headed into space.

Apollo 7 is in the air.

The apollo 7 mission
now entering hour 4

Of its 10-day mission

Has been orbiting earth
without trouble.

[ indistinct conversations ]

How does it feel,

Seeing gus' flight
finally go up?

I had some time.
I had my trip.

Deke: Apollo 7, this is capcom.
Are you ready to go live?

I'm okay.

Wally: I can tell you
at this point

The tv will be delayed
without any further discussion

Until after the rendezvous.

Deke: All you have to do
is flip it on.

Wally: We don't have
the equipment out.

We haven't eaten.

Someone's cranky.

I refuse to foul up
our timelines this way...

He has a cold.

Look, it's his last mission.

He can say whatever he wants,
so long as he gets home safe.

I just can't believe wally's
leaving the program

When they're so close
to the moon.

Three missions are enough
for us.
[ silverware clatters ]

Well, we've -- we've all learned
you...Can't be

An astronaut f-forever.

Well, you can't rely on
anything forever.

You know, maybe the campaign
could still use your help.

Well, the campaign's over
in less than a month,

And nixon will take it,
just you watch.

It's not the same
without bobby.

Well, why not restart
your column?

It's had to go back
to writing about the world

When for a minute, i was
actually a part of shaping it.

Who needs a refill?

[ radio
continues indistinctly ]

Donn made it into space.

I've done my part.

Sweetie, you've got kids,
a life with him.

Don't throw it away
over cape cookies.

It's your marriage.

It's not cookies with donn.
Trudy, don't.

There's a woman.
Her name is susie.

All cookies are named susie.

Donn and susie are serious.
She has a son.

Oh, my god.

Are you sure about that?

We went to the house.
We met her.

And he made me feel like
i was going crazy.

I'm getting a divorce.

Harriet, really think
about this.

Trudy gave gordo
another chance.

Now look at them.

When i caught gordo,
he didn't lie.

Well, rene and scott --

They're living separately,
but they're still married.

Yeah, rene and scott
treat each other with respect.

We agreed to be wives,

For better or for worse...

At least until the end
of the program.

The program?

Divorce that jerk.

The whole world is changing.
Why can't we?

[ sighs ]

Man: It's the third day
of the apollo 7 mission,

And for the first time
in history,

We have live footage
from inside the capsule.

After 11 days,
apollo 7 touches down

Just 1.9 miles off its target.

Wally schirra ends
his n.A.S.A. Career

With another flawless mission,

And the space program
is back in business.

We're off to the moon.

Civilian life
looks good on you.

Dad gotcha.

Every bit as boring
as i imagined, and i love it.

Don't you think
i'm a little old for this?

You are never too old
for a good old "gotcha."

[ chuckles ]
"jolly wally."

[ lowered voice ] it's good
to have him back.
Mm-hmm.

So you've thought
about what's next?

I've been recruited
by regency investors in denver.

Gonna fly out next week,
check it out.

Denver?

Relax.
It's just an interview,

Which is why we weren't gonna
tell anyone yet.

Oh, right.
I forgot that part.
Mm-hmm.

[ clacking ]

[ keys jingle ]

It's a car.
Now it's not a corvette,

But it will get you to college
in the fall.

Well, actually, i'm...
Not thinking about college.

I'm gonna enlist.

Enlist?

Marty, you are not
going to war.

It's my duty.

Dad went to korea.

And what about grandpa?

Admiral holloway
had his own battleship.

This is a different kind
of war,

And not in a good way.

I made a cake.

Shaped like a rocket.

Good job, betty.

For the first time,

Man will be traveling
239,000 miles to the moon.

Our craft will leave
the earth's orbit

And enter the moon's.

The plan is to get a few miles
of the lunar surface,

Circle 10 times,
then come home.

But if i understand this
correctly,

There's a good chance

You could miss the moon
completely

And drift off into space?

Well, there are always
gonna be risks involved

In any space mission.

Mrs. Borman, how do you feel
about those odds?

Well...

Well, there's...Certainly...

Uh...

I have complete faith
in my entire crew

And the thousands
of people working tirelessly

On this mission.

With the power
of those saturn rockets,

The goodwill
of the american people,

And the love of this woman
right here,

We can't fail.

Thank you,
mr. And mrs. Borman.

And we cut.

Thank you, sir.

[ indistinct conversations ]

Let me see this.

[ laughs ] excuse me.

I'm gonna get in there
with frank.

[ blows kiss ]
[ blows kiss ]

[ indistinct conversations ]

[ clinking ]

[ bottle cap squeaks ]
that bad?

Frank had to step in.

[ exhales deeply ]
i can't sleep or eat.

Now apparently
i can't talk either.

Have you told frank
how you feel?

How can i?

He shouldn't have
to look after me.

It's my job
to be there for him.

You know, maybe you should
go see dr. Berry.

Sometimes he helps the wives
with...Stress management.

Pills?

What? No. I would never.

No, frank doesn't want me
taking anything.

He says if i can't sleep,

I should just walk around
outside until i get tired.

[ exhales deeply ]
and i do get tired.

So tired.

But...Every time
i shut my eyes,

All i see is him,
trapped in that capsule.

You know,
drifting off into space

Or circling around the moon...
Forever.

Oh, god.

[ exhales deeply ]

The surgery's been performed
a handful of times

With some success.

I think mr. Shepard's
a great candidate.

But i wanna be honest
with you about the risks.

What are they?

Well,
his symptoms could worsen.

There's also the possibility

That he may permanently lose
his hearing.

And of course, any time
you're operating on the brain,

There's a chance of stroke,
infection, brain damage,

Even death.

Legally, a wife can't just up
and leave her husband.

You will have to charge him
with cruelty.

That means that you will have
to convince the judge

Of adultery, abandonment,
and/or abuse.

We can prove all three.

Emotional abuse counts,
right?

You will need
indisputable evidence,

Meaning physical documentation
and testimonies

That not only prove
donn's guilt

But that you are not responsible
for his indiscretions.

That's just the divorce.

Child support is
something else entirely.

You're supposed to be
her lawyer, not his.

I just want you to know
what you'll be taking on.

It won't be easy.

Thank you, mr. Tucker.
I understand.

And we'll get back to you
with everything you need.

[ sighs ]

I told the doctor
to book the surgery.

Of course you did.

I've done everything
you've asked of me.

I'm home for dinner
every night.

I spend time with you
and the girls.

You are a good husband
and father.

I'm an astronaut
who can't drive.

our life together to change --

Apollo 8, you're looking good.

[ door closes ]

I told you
it'd be a big scandal.

It was on page 9,
below the fold.

All anybody really cares about
is apollo 8.

Funny how they still managed
to lift off

In spite
of the divorce talk.

[ dishes clanking ]

I don't understand how
this became about you,

But i want to.

You've never really told me
about him --

Why you got married,
why you got divorced,

Why you keep that damn trunk
with his name on it.

Well, you never asked.

I never have to
with you, red.

If there's something
you want me to know,

You say it, and then some.

I don't know exactly.

Regular reasons, i guess.

I didn't want you to think
of me with another man,

Be seen as...Damaged goods.

That trunks reminds me
to stand up for myself,

Even if it means causing
a scandal or getting a label.

It reminds me to be strong.

[ exhales ]

You don't need a trunk
for that.

Red, you're the strongest
person i know.

Rene: The astronauts
are just moments away

From trans-lunar injection,

Where they'll fire
all rockets

To escape earth's gravity.

She -- she l--
she l-looks like

She belongs there's-there.

[ chuckles ]
this is just the beginning.

Can you believe it?
Rene on tv?

Harriet getting
her freedom.

...Happens next. This is
a very tense moment.

It's also...

Wally took the damn job
in damn denver.

[ gasps ] what?
Jo.

This is my last launch party.

When did this happen?

He told me yesterday.
You can't go.

When would you leave?

End of the month.

I've just heard that apollo 8

Has just left
the earth's gravitational pull.

This is a first in history,

And it is now shooting
for the moon.

They say tall fences
make good neighbors.

But a hole in the fence
makes best friends.

Gosh, i am gonna miss you
so much.

I have something for ya.

Whenever you miss houston
and ole betty... [ chuckles ]

Just look at your fence hole.

You'll be okay.

You don't like it?

I love it.

Oh.

Come here.

[ cries ]

[ both laugh ]

Apollo 8 is about to attempt
its first lunar orbit.

The spacecraft will travel
to the dark side of the moon,

And we will lose communication
with the crew

For approximately
half an hour.

Now, we won't know
if they've been successful

Until they return.

This is obviously...

[ lowered voice ]
how's susan doing?

An incredibly tense moment...

[ lowered voice ]
honestly, i'm not sure.

They invited us
to mission control yesterday,

And susan didn't show up,

And then when i stopped by
the house,

She just stayed in her room.

Man:
Apollo 8, this is houston.

Be prepared for signal loss.

Frank: Thanks a lot, houston.

I guess we'll be seeing you
when we...

[ static ]

Rene: ...To not know what's
going on up there....

I can't take this.

So our thoughts and prayers
for the next 30 minutes

Are with the astronauts
who are up there

With no contact
with the world.

What do we do?

The usual.

We wait.

W-w-what's she doing?

She's writing
frank's eulogy.

We should be hearing
from the apollo 8 crew

At any moment now.

Man: Apollo 8, this is houston.
Do you read?

[ static ]

Apollo 8, do you read?

Frank:
Houston, this is apollo 8.

Please be informed,
there is a santa claus.

[ women gasp ]

Oh!

[ women crying ]

He's okay. He's okay.

They have -- we have made it
back from the dark side.

Now approaching
a lunar sunrise,

And, uh, for all the people

Back on earth,
the crew of apollo 8

Has a message that we would
like to send to you.

In the beginning, god created
the heaven and the earth,

And the earth was without form
and void,

And darkness was upon the face
of the deep,

And god said,
"let there be light,"

And there was light.

And god saw the light,
and it was good.

And god divided the light
from the darkness.

And god called the light "day"

And the darkness,
he called "night."

And the evening and the morning
were the first day.
