- CONGRATULATIONS ON 200 EPISODES!
🙌🙌 Congratulations on 200, Emily and Dave! What a way to ring it in!!!

Certainly, there have been attempts ranging from m’eh to terrific (if short). The BBC’s 2009 documentary “Apollo Space Wives” and episode 11 of HBO’s From The Earth To The Moon, “The Original Wives Club” are among the better ones, in my humble opinion.
This…hearing from the children raised in that bubble by their incredibly poised but tough as nails moms…... more
