“Tomorrow is Yesterday” predicted Apollo 11. The episode was aired in ‘67. The episode which involves time travel mentioned a shuttle launch happening on a Wednesday in July of 1969. July 16 was the actual date of the real Apollo 11 launch, and that was a Wednesday.

Dude, people don't like to work on the weekends. They also don't like to schedule things on Mondays or Fridays. This means they had to use Tuesday for prep and Thursday was reserved for troubleshooting. It always had to be Wednesday. Welcome to the working world.

Same phenomenon that 40% of sick days taken at work are on Monday or Friday.
