I don't know.

I don't know that it translated down like that.

You mean to the kids?

But see, it wasn't like that then, Flora.

These guys were pilots first, right?

And they did have to learn a lot of science.

And, in fact, they had to know a lot more in terms of flying the spacecraft than anyone now because there weren't computers like there are now.

But I don't think – you know, again, when it's your dad, you don't think of them that way.

And I knew they worked hard.

We all did.

They were gone forever.

All during the week.

They were only home on the weekends.

So in some ways, I think a lot of the kids thought, well, they weren't thinking, oh, my dad's an overachiever.

They were thinking, my dad's gone a lot, and I don't get to see him very much.

Right?

It's really more a story about how children develop and about families and about how we all have a family context that shapes us.

That is a great way to say it, Flora.

I'm not sure that we kids had a job, but our moms did.

And it was so much more than people realize.
