Have you had insurance declined? But have you heard about Life Insurance in space? If you want to go to space, would you get an insurance, of course, you would. But if your insurance gets declined, how would you feel? Sad, frustrated, angry or mad, right?
This story had happened to astronauts from Apollo 11. Buzz Aldrin, Neil Armstrong and Michael Collins, got their insurance declined, but they still went to the moon. NASA didn’t have any special life insurance for its astronauts.
Neil Armstrong was famous, with the Apollo 11 crew. At that time, everyone wanted their autographs. Apollo 11 crew astronauts had been signing autographs since the day that they were announced as astronauts. They had been signing what they called “insurance covers”, which were small white postcards. They would wait until the launch date before signing and mailing the cards to their family, friends and their loved ones.
Fortunately, their creative insurance was never needed. Their mission was a success.
