What is the series called? Sounds interesting...
I did learn some interesting stuff from the PR angle. For instance, how they sent up a congressman and a senator which led to Reagan feeling comfortable enough to call for a teacher to go. And sending her was a way to get the STS program back on the front page.

It’s so eerie when you think about all the things that came together that led to it being see live by millions of people.

I’m convinced that Tom Cruise only does big stunts to make up for his shortness.

Oh Dear!

I get my Mum moaning about my older sister droning on when she calls her not realising she does exactly the same thing when she calls me. I get the low down on her neighbours ailments, What my great nieces have got up to (all told in a childlike voice) and commentary on her latest bowel movements!

Wanna swap?
Suffice it to say, it’s just a typical Sunday.
