I was interested in reading about the survival of these men during their time down there. I read about the guidance received from NASA experts on things such as fitness/exercise. It made sense that NASA would have the people who knew about longer term living in small quarters with limited supplies. The part about the skin infections some of the men suffered made me think of "Red Sands," too. Survival under these conditions is both miraculous and heroic.
