'The Astronaut Wives Club': Space history vs. Hollywood in Ep. 3 'Retroattitude' [i]The original Mercury 7 spouses on ABC's "The Astronaut Wives Club" have spent their last week in Virginia — and their final week as the only astronaut wives — in "Retroattitude," the third episode of the 10-part series based on Lily Koppel's book about the real women behind the United States' first spacemen. Where as the first two episodes of "Astronaut Wives Club" spanned multiple years and spaceflights, this week's hour focused on the events in mid-1962, as NASA launched its second manned orbital mission, planning got underway for the two-man Gemini project and the entire program picked up and moved to Houston. "It's Scott Carpenter's turn to go up, and as the world — and the Astronaut Wives ready themselves for his launch, Rene [Carpenter] receives the opportunity to tell her own story, in her own words, in LIFE Magazine," ABC wrote in its "Retroattitude" synopsis. "Meanwhile, tensions flare as Deke [Slayton] deals with some troubling news of his own that questions his future as an astronaut, but all the while, the women come together to support each other."[/i]
