Apollo 13 Jack Swigert requested a Tax Filing extension while headed to the moon:
“How do I apply for an extension?” he asked from space to those in Mission Control, who began to laugh. “Things kind of happened real fast down there and I need an extension. I’m really serious.”
Flight director Glynn Lunney later reassured the astronaut: American citizens who were out of the country received a 60-day filing extension. “I assume this applies,” he told the astronaut, who was already far from the planet at that time.
I love how this was added to the Apollo 13 movie. As they’re floating about feeling cold and miserable Swigert gets told he has been granted an extension as he is “definitely out of the country”.

Such a good movie
See I would have just assumed this was an incredible line added by some hilarious writer. The fact that it’s true is just chefs kiss perfect
