I checked my heart rate after the launch scene and it was 10 points higher than they said Buzz Aldrin’s was during the actual launch. I knew that guy was a psycho but 88 bpm while strapped to the top of a skyscraper rocket at launch? That’s the average American’s resting heart rate. My brain was moving 4,000 ft/sec trying to grab and keep everything I was…
