What Apollo Astronauts Did For Life Insurance?

An ordinary problem common to all is that who will take care of the family behind; if something happens to the bread earner of the family. A problem that subsists since the time, the astronauts first stepped on to The Moon. Neil Armstrong, the first to take the bold step of leaving behind his family, to go to The Moon also planned it well in advance. The market was not that expansive and advanced back then but there definitely existed a market for insurance.

Wondering what was this insurance market all about? It was not the one that we know currently however it, still, was full proof. Prior to the launch date of Apollo 11, Neil Armstrong along with the other members of the crew signed hundreds of covers. Covers were envelopes signed by them that were postmarked on significant dates. The motive behind was to sell them off, in future to accumulate funds for survival, in case, the astronauts did not return back from the moon.

This is the Life Insurance market in those olden times!!
