incidentally, this is still the single most hilarious anecdote re: apollo astronauts i have come across
Apollo 13 was halfway to the moon before Swigert realized he had not flied his income taxes and that he would be quite unable to do so before the April 15 deadline. The subject came up as scientist-astronaut Joe Kerwin was reading the Sunday morning news: “Today’s favorite pastime across the nation—Uh oh, have you guys completed your income tax?”
Swigert radioed, “How do I apply for an extension?” Mission control exploded with laughter. “It ain’t too funny, things happened real fast down there and I do need an extension. I’m really serious…”
“You’re breaking up the room down here,” Kerwin said. A few minutes later he assured Swigert that there wouldn’t be any problem: an automatic extension is granted to anyone who is out of the country at tax time.
since halloween’s right around the corner here’s a reminder from your local Jewish Person to not dress up in antisemitic caricatures ie as a stereotypical jew (big nose, yalmulke, payot, dark curly hair, etc), it’s not funny and it’s incredibly offensive. my people are not costumes and neither is our culture.
hi hello it’s your Local Jew again with another reminder to reblog this everyday until halloween and after it bc i see a lot of you ignoring this like you do the other times when jews try and reach out to you so please keep giving this attention and educating yourselves pls and ty
