Ijeko (05 Jan 2017). "TIL that the astronauts of Apollo 11 couldn't get life insurance, so they signed photos that their families could auction in case the landing went wrong". reddit (front page). Retrieved 05 Jan 2017. {{cite news}}: Check date values in: |access-date= and |date= (help)

Why?[edit]

Why was there a need for this? Did the US government not compensate families of astronauts at all? Seems very unfair! Cls14 (talk) 09:09, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
