STP158 - The Real Astronaut Wives - with Jessica Carr and Bruce McCandless III

<p>Following the death of Marilyn Lovell at the age of 93 last week, we wanted to talk about what it must have been like to be the wife of an astronaut in the Apollo era, so we asked Jessica Carr, daughter of Jerry and Joann Carr, and Bruce McCandless III, son of Bruce and Bernice McCandless to talk about their mothers experiences and to ask what it was like living in Houston in an astro house in the 1960s.</p><br><p>100 Patreons By Show 200: <a href="https://www.patreon.com/Spaceandthings" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.patreon.com/Spaceandthings</a></p><br><p>Bruce McCandless III: <a href="https://brucemccandless.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://brucemccandless.com/</a></p><p>X: <a href="https://twitter.com/BanLohannon" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/BanLohannon</a>&nbsp;</p><p>LinkedIn: <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/bruce-mccandless-iii-3b205726/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.linkedin.com/in/bruce-mccandless-iii-3b205726/</a>&nbsp;</p><br><p>Full show notes: <a href="https://spaceandthingspodcast.com/podcast/stp158-the-real-astronaut-wives-with-jessica-carr-and-bruce-mccandless-iii" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://spaceandthingspodcast.com/podcast/stp158-the-real-astronaut-wives-with-jessica-carr-and-bruce-mccandless-iii</a></p><p>Show notes include links to all articles mentioned and full details of our guests and links to what caught our eye this week.</p><br><p>Image Credits: Space and Things Podcast</p><br><p>Space and Things:</p><p>X:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.twitter.com/spaceandthings1" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.twitter.com/spaceandthings1</a></p><p>Instagram:<a href="https://open.acast.com/shows/5f4389f9e0d0e44f3c79a062/episodes/%C2%A0https://www.instagram.com/spaceandthingspodcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">&nbsp;https://www.instagram.com/spaceandthingspodcast</a></p><p>Facebook:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.facebook.com/spaceandthingsp
