Don’t forget that today is tax day! Personal taxes are due! If you haven’t filed yet or you still need to, you can file for an extension.

On Apollo 13, one of the astronauts (Jack Swigert) had a scary thought – and decided the best option was to radio into Houston. “Uh, Houston, I forgot to file my income tax.” Can you also hear the echo of Houston’s collective sigh. Luckily, he was out of the country at the time so, he was granted an automatic extension. Later Jack would have more to worry about, as the service module on the space craft exploded. NASA would list this incident (the explosion, not Jack forgetting tax day) a “successful failure,” meaning that it all worked out in the end. Just like filing taxes.
