It’s three o’clock on a damp Friday afternoon, and Menendez is urging Ros to change from her green T-strap shoes to her pink galoshes before the two venture out into the rain.

...pilot training--and famously brilliant at it nonetheless--Cooper flew twice into orbit, as the sole pilot of the last Mercury mission in 1963 and as commander of Gemini 5 in 1965. For a time, Cooper held the world record for time logged in space, 222 hours, but his strap-it-on-and-go approach served him less well in the lunar program, when NASA preferred more by-the-book pilots.
