Travelers Issued First Accident Policy for Space Flight and Lunar Exploration
Neil A. Armstrong, Edwin E. Aldrin Jr., and Michael Collins each
had $50,000 policies, which were effective from the time the crew entered the
command module through the completion of their quarantine period back on earth.
Included in the astronauts’ policies was protection against any threat of
illnesses or diseases while exploring the lunar surface. Since humans had never
landed on the surface of the moon before, Travelers had to consider various,
unknown risks when writing these policies. |
