About this Quote
This quote by Wally Schirra is describing the pressure that the Apollo program placed on the families of the astronauts. The Apollo program was a major undertaking for the United States and needed a good deal of commitment and sacrifice from the astronauts and their families. The partners of the astronauts had to make a lot of sacrifices in order to support their other halves and the program, but a few of them were unable to keep up with the demands of the program. This triggered the households to begin to break apart, as the other halves were not able to handle the strain of the program. This quote highlights the importance of household support for the astronauts and the sacrifices that they and their households needed to make in order to make the Apollo program a success.
