Bonus! Moonshot Songs o' the Day: Apollo 10
Linda Gardner & Topol, "Far from the Home I Love" from Fiddler on the Roof (Space Cadet Mike Papa Whiskey)
Commentary: The Apollo 10 trio journeyed farther from home than any other humans, due to the apogee of the Moon's elliptical orbit of the Earth, & then having the entire diameter of the Moon (due to orbiting on the far side of the Moon) & the entire diameter of the Earth (due to the Earth's rotation) between them & their families in Houston.
