Is this based on a real story?
ReplyDeleteThis is based on real life events, yes.
ReplyDeleteThx for the Info.
ReplyDeleteLooks good. But when will the trailer be released? I don't remember seeing it during the upfronts.
ReplyDeleteThis will premiere midseason. Since it was a straight-to-series order, they didn't shoot a pilot and production for the show hasn't begun either.
ReplyDeleteI highly reccomend the book it is based on, "The Astronaut Wives Club." "The Right Stuff," is also good. The first 50-100 pages of "The Right Stuff" are awful, but it's worth it. It's a ton of background, but it is important, and all of it ends up being relevant later in the book.
