Piecing together the jigsaw of questions and answers at a Press conference with the astronauts' wives we realised one thing: there were no feminine fripperies or personal souvenirs that a moon man could bring his wife.
Moon rocks and moon dust were his souvenirs for all the world: and the glory of his fulfilled mission, its all-encompassing joy and satisfaction—these were what he brought to his wife and children.
Almost the greater giving of a rare understanding and patience, and a rarer faith, were what she had for him in return, in the face of the known and unknown hazards of the historic journey.
The three well-groomed attractive women confessed that they are 'ordinary' housewives. The glare of publicity and the ever-recurring questions flung at them have not given them a feeling that they are 'extraordinary'. Not even the fact that their husbands may be away from home for almost 250 days out of a year and that the wives must get along by themselves.
Their normalcy certainly showed itself in their clothes. Nothing extraordinary, bizarre or eccentric there.
The attractive brunette Jane Conrad faced the curious glances of Presswomen in a well-cut superbly simple dress of navy jersey crepe. It had gold buttons down the front and a gold sun-patterned pin to set it off. She is the mother of four sons.
Barbara Gordon has six children to (...) in her husband's absence. She wears her greying heir piled back from her interesting, sensitive face. A summer-looking pink and white cotton dress helped her keep cool on a particularly steaming evening.
The blonde Sue Bean picked a dual-colour outfit in beige and mustard. The Beans have two children, both of whom experienced the thrills of the Apollo 12 mission on TV when they saw their father become the fourth man to set foot on the moon.
Had their husbands' vision of the stark and mysteriously inhospitable lunar reaches made the wives change their ideas about the moon? No. To them the moon would always be the moon—a romantic, beautiful and mysterious place.
