Hey, I'm on Medial • 1y

Wanna hear a CRAZY story? Back in the day, during the historic Apollo 13 mission, astronaut Commander Jack Swigert faced a hilarious yet serious dilemma. Commander Jack had joined the Apollo 13 crew at the last minute and found himself mid-mission when he realized he hadn’t filed his taxes. Just imagine trying to gather all your receipts and paperwork while floating in space! In a moment that’s both comical and relatable, he had to radio NASA with an urgent request for a tax extension. Despite the ground crew thinking it was a joke, Jack’s message was clear: "Hey, listen, it ain’t too funny; things kind of happened real fast down there, and I do need an extension. I didn’t get mine filed, and this is serious." Swigert filed for an extension and resolved the tax matter after returning from the mission. He was fortunate to get an extension, but not everyone is! So even if you're in Space, don't forget your Earthly duties, especially taxes! :)
