I believe that was true in the 60s. I may have picked this up from watching FTETTM or some such other reputable source... -- One way ticket from Mornington Crescent to Tannhauser Gate please. |

I believe that was true in the 60s. I may have picked this up from watching FTETTM or some such other reputable source... The NASA astronauts (not active members of the military or seconded from another country) have the same kind of life insurance Dryden research test pilots and every other civilian employee of the government has. It's called FEGLI, Federal Employees Group Life Insurance. It wasn't new in 1962, when my husband elected it when he hired on at Dryden. The military astronauts have SGLI, Servicemember Group Life Insurance, as do all other member of the military. I shouldn't say they all have this, as it's optional. It's just cheap term life insurance. There is also a NASA employee's association that offers insurance, mostly for dependents. It, too, is optional. In addition, the family of anyone who dies on duty gets a nice tax-free annuity. Spouses get it for life or until remarriage and children get it until they're 18 or, maybe, until they're out of college.
