1 00:00:32,630 --> 00:00:28,250 April 30 1970 the mood could only be 2 00:00:35,630 --> 00:00:32,640 described as relaxed Apollo 13 man's v 3 00:00:38,090 --> 00:00:35,640 Lulu mission the third scheduled to land 4 00:00:58,040 --> 00:00:38,100 on the moon continuing its tranquil 5 00:00:59,569 --> 00:00:58,050 Coast Thursday we've got one more item 6 00:01:02,930 --> 00:00:59,579 for you when you get a chance we might 7 00:01:05,630 --> 00:01:02,940 get there stir up your cryo things in 8 00:01:07,330 --> 00:01:05,640 addition our chef and onions okay for 9 00:01:21,070 --> 00:01:07,340 look at the common Bennet if you needed 10 00:01:26,179 --> 00:01:24,200 remain beautiful okay stand by Thursday 11 00:01:28,490 --> 00:01:26,189 and we're looking at it if we had a 12 00:01:31,819 --> 00:01:28,500 pretty large batch of the ranges with 13 00:01:35,450 --> 00:01:31,829 the brush warning there I'm gonna call 14 00:01:41,060 --> 00:01:35,460 BP with one that said error and spike on 15 00:01:48,469 --> 00:01:41,070 it was before any area but the battle 16 00:01:50,380 --> 00:01:48,479 against April 11 1970 launch day the 17 00:01:52,690 --> 00:01:50,390 crew of Apollo 13 18 00:01:55,090 --> 00:01:52,700 jim lovell commander and veteran approve 19 00:02:00,070 --> 00:01:55,100 devious measurements he had orbited the 20 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:00,080 moon Christmas 1968 on Apollo 8 fred a's 21 00:02:08,410 --> 00:02:04,570 his first time up lunar module pilot 22 00:02:11,050 --> 00:02:08,420 Jack Swigert command module pilot three 23 00:02:13,780 --> 00:02:11,060 days ago he was on the backup crew now 24 00:02:15,280 --> 00:02:13,790 he replaced Ken Mattingly Mattingly had 25 00:02:17,890 --> 00:02:15,290 been dropped from the mission because he 26 00:02:19,360 --> 00:02:17,900 had been explored to German measles he 27 00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:19,370 would launch the launch from Houston 28 00:02:29,020 --> 00:02:22,730 Mission Control auto-sync listening to 29 00:02:31,479 --> 00:02:29,030 the flame for the first impression by 30 00:02:33,820 --> 00:02:31,489 Buster as one team prepares company for 31 00:02:36,630 --> 00:02:33,830 an entire hour ago Roger has a low-key 32 00:03:35,830 --> 00:02:36,640 conjugates favorite oil King 33 00:03:43,180 --> 00:03:38,480 why product rejected confirm stationing 34 00:03:48,410 --> 00:03:43,190 driving price listed $84 layering okay 35 00:03:50,750 --> 00:03:48,420 I'd like to confer first feel senior 36 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:50,760 problem I got those days when I get my 37 00:03:55,490 --> 00:03:52,290 right now flying all day or anything you 38 00:03:57,590 --> 00:03:55,500 go the next step in the routine and 39 00:04:00,500 --> 00:03:57,600 lunar flight was to burn out of Earth 40 00:04:02,900 --> 00:04:00,510 orbit toward the moon then full three of 41 00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:02,910 the third stage and dock with the lunar 42 00:04:18,469 --> 00:04:06,570 module Aquarius at the controls of the 43 00:04:20,659 --> 00:04:18,479 command module Odyssey Jack Swagger they 44 00:04:31,070 --> 00:04:20,669 pull Aquarius away from the Saturn third 45 00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:31,080 stage the s4 be honest thing and 46 00:04:46,070 --> 00:04:34,050 Aquarius moved away from Earth toward 47 00:04:53,449 --> 00:04:49,040 so then we've had a hardware ring-spun 48 00:04:54,689 --> 00:04:53,459 learning more in are you not at all 49 00:04:56,879 --> 00:04:54,699 wonderful 50 00:05:02,399 --> 00:04:56,889 you see an AC bus undervolt they're dead 51 00:05:04,649 --> 00:05:02,409 for eco- I believe the crew reported for 52 00:05:07,439 --> 00:05:04,659 your Ramsey internal we leave that in 53 00:05:09,719 --> 00:05:07,449 imitation fell by brunch and we had a 54 00:05:14,209 --> 00:05:09,729 pretty large bearing from rotated with 55 00:05:17,999 --> 00:05:14,219 the project warning the sensation I had 56 00:05:21,329 --> 00:05:18,009 that I had felt a vibration accompanying 57 00:05:24,329 --> 00:05:21,339 the bang not a large vibration or 58 00:05:25,529 --> 00:05:24,339 shredder running kind of lazily remember 59 00:05:27,299 --> 00:05:25,539 when you're looking at instrumentation 60 00:05:29,670 --> 00:05:27,309 we had a real problem for lunch we're 61 00:05:34,339 --> 00:05:29,680 eating everyone to pressure and fuel 62 00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:34,349 cell 113 psi on fuel cell 302 pressure 63 00:05:41,639 --> 00:05:36,849 what do you want to do open circuit fuel 64 00:05:45,209 --> 00:05:41,649 so on a trip a trip down and reactants 65 00:05:46,649 --> 00:05:45,219 found and I ask for confirmation since 66 00:05:48,359 --> 00:05:46,659 when you do that it's sort of 67 00:05:53,159 --> 00:05:48,369 irreversible if you shot one these 68 00:05:59,129 --> 00:05:53,169 things down can be restarted from ground 69 00:06:07,290 --> 00:05:59,139 support equipment looking off the so we 70 00:06:09,059 --> 00:06:07,300 are everybody think of the kind of 71 00:06:10,529 --> 00:06:09,069 things we keep setting you can see you 72 00:06:14,339 --> 00:06:10,539 get an earring that looks abnormal in 73 00:06:16,739 --> 00:06:14,349 here so all about shoes we can't see 74 00:06:19,009 --> 00:06:16,749 anything good when still a baby they've 75 00:06:21,179 --> 00:06:19,019 got this representing its firm flight 76 00:06:25,049 --> 00:06:21,189 when you look at the system for those 77 00:06:27,749 --> 00:06:25,059 events effect okay Darren here is a 78 00:06:29,999 --> 00:06:27,759 bulletin from ABC News the Apollo 13 79 00:06:32,369 --> 00:06:30,009 spacecraft is not a serious power supply 80 00:06:33,250 --> 00:06:32,379 malfunction that could cause the lunar 81 00:06:35,650 --> 00:06:33,260 landing mission 82 00:06:38,350 --> 00:06:35,660 literally I assume you've called in your 83 00:06:39,970 --> 00:06:38,360 backup becomes right there again it's 84 00:06:43,510 --> 00:06:39,980 all in your backup become a surrogate 85 00:06:45,310 --> 00:06:43,520 small brain Carmen Taiwan your body at 86 00:06:46,990 --> 00:06:45,320 the moment the astronauts are continuing 87 00:06:49,060 --> 00:06:47,000 to try to isolate their trouble a label 88 00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:49,070 closes the spacecraft mal is operating 89 00:06:55,150 --> 00:06:51,290 on battery power alone all unnecessary 90 00:06:57,790 --> 00:06:55,160 equipment is being turned off okay now 91 00:06:59,800 --> 00:06:57,800 let's everybody keep girl we got legs 92 00:07:03,100 --> 00:06:59,810 still attached well in a spacecrafts 93 00:07:04,690 --> 00:07:03,110 good so we need to get back home we've 94 00:07:07,570 --> 00:07:04,700 gotta learn to do a good course of it 95 00:07:10,140 --> 00:07:07,580 with okay let's make sure we don't do 96 00:07:12,640 --> 00:07:10,150 anything that's going to blow our CSM 97 00:07:15,070 --> 00:07:12,650 electrical power with the batteries or 98 00:07:18,880 --> 00:07:15,080 it will cause us to lose the main or the 99 00:07:20,380 --> 00:07:18,890 fuel cell number two okay we want to 100 00:07:22,300 --> 00:07:20,390 keep the o2 and that kind of stuff 101 00:07:25,540 --> 00:07:22,310 working with right there of RCS but we 102 00:07:27,070 --> 00:07:25,550 get the command module system so we're 103 00:07:28,750 --> 00:07:27,080 in good shape if we need to get home 104 00:07:31,750 --> 00:07:28,760 we'll install the problem but let's not 105 00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:31,760 make it any worse by Jessie my concern 106 00:07:36,130 --> 00:07:33,890 was increasing all the time it's going 107 00:07:40,660 --> 00:07:36,140 from I want to look this is going to be 108 00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:40,670 to the landing so I wonder if we can get 109 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:46,970 back home again okay a local Electrike 110 00:07:51,640 --> 00:07:49,250 go ahead I think the best thing to do 111 00:07:54,070 --> 00:07:51,650 right now to start our day right if I 112 00:07:56,050 --> 00:07:54,080 daniel said it was quite apparent to me 113 00:07:57,930 --> 00:07:56,060 that it was just a question of time if 114 00:08:00,250 --> 00:07:57,940 the command module was going to be when 115 00:08:02,590 --> 00:08:00,260 you don't want to people show up uncle 116 00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:02,600 do you we can do that future number one 117 00:08:09,640 --> 00:08:04,970 fine okay well let's make sure we don't 118 00:08:11,950 --> 00:08:09,650 blow elision okay it concerns me it is 119 00:08:13,750 --> 00:08:11,960 hurting his phone equipment we had a 120 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:13,760 probably don't know the cause of the 121 00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:15,410 problem but right I have got a feeling 122 00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:18,530 we've lost you to yourself I hate to put 123 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:22,650 it that way but I don't know why Rossum 124 00:08:27,290 --> 00:08:24,930 this is an old tag of networks for 125 00:08:29,300 --> 00:08:27,300 Blanke right now are bring me up another 126 00:08:32,540 --> 00:08:29,310 computer in the RTCC William 127 00:08:34,550 --> 00:08:32,550 we got spell what machine on Caucasian 128 00:08:36,409 --> 00:08:34,560 feel that's dual safety national ok I 129 00:08:37,820 --> 00:08:36,419 want another machine up there at PCC I 130 00:08:39,760 --> 00:08:37,830 want to put the guys people are running 131 00:08:42,140 --> 00:08:39,770 D logs down there 132 00:08:43,339 --> 00:08:42,150 what all this means is only speculation 133 00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:43,349 at this point 134 00:08:46,970 --> 00:08:45,330 first builder has been so many tumbling 135 00:08:48,470 --> 00:08:46,980 or rotation of the spacecraft we have 136 00:08:52,340 --> 00:08:48,480 pronounced do not a clear to be in any 137 00:08:54,680 --> 00:08:52,350 immediate danger I'll tell you what can 138 00:08:56,510 --> 00:08:54,690 sing can you get somebody in the back 139 00:08:59,750 --> 00:08:56,520 room to try to figure out what the photo 140 00:09:02,329 --> 00:08:59,760 itself as he is we're getting the lead 141 00:09:04,940 --> 00:09:02,339 and see if we can backtrack to see we 142 00:09:07,730 --> 00:09:04,950 can figure out what's Betty Roger there 143 00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:07,740 to translate okay when I looked up and 144 00:09:12,760 --> 00:09:10,770 saw boo I'm thinking pleasures one 145 00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:12,770 athlete is zero another one going down 146 00:09:19,130 --> 00:09:16,650 is burn on me I'm sure dejected but 147 00:09:21,380 --> 00:09:19,140 about the same time but we were indeed 148 00:09:24,610 --> 00:09:21,390 in a serious trouble the only way to 149 00:09:29,690 --> 00:09:24,620 survive the situation were to transfer 150 00:09:32,150 --> 00:09:29,700 to be 120 count regarding the pressure 151 00:09:33,949 --> 00:09:32,160 no triptank water all the way down a 297 152 00:09:35,150 --> 00:09:33,959 either think about getting in the lab or 153 00:09:38,750 --> 00:09:35,160 you go on system 154 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:38,760 I'd say this is a serious of situations 155 00:09:42,560 --> 00:09:40,770 we have ever had an mainstage point 156 00:09:45,410 --> 00:09:42,570 we've always call around hundred 157 00:09:47,660 --> 00:09:45,420 lifeboat under those circumstances if at 158 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:47,670 any time when admission however when I 159 00:09:55,430 --> 00:09:50,130 had separated and we've gotten ourselves 160 00:09:57,920 --> 00:09:55,440 into a rondelay situation or the command 161 00:10:00,920 --> 00:09:57,930 module ring around the moon then what 162 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:00,930 you say is absolutely true it would be a 163 00:10:06,620 --> 00:10:02,330 fatal situation 164 00:10:08,900 --> 00:10:06,630 tell me it'll fly I want you to get some 165 00:10:10,910 --> 00:10:08,910 guys figuring out their own power in the 166 00:10:14,269 --> 00:10:10,920 lemon to stay alive 167 00:10:15,829 --> 00:10:14,279 the accident had occurred 200,000 miles 168 00:10:17,569 --> 00:10:15,839 from her levels 169 00:10:20,269 --> 00:10:17,579 rygart and Hayes Road in the lunar 170 00:10:22,999 --> 00:10:20,279 module attached to a lifeless command 171 00:10:25,939 --> 00:10:23,009 module Apollo 13 had started as a 172 00:10:30,519 --> 00:10:25,949 mission of scientific exploration it was 173 00:10:35,329 --> 00:10:33,349 since the command module was dead except 174 00:10:37,999 --> 00:10:35,339 for the oxygen and power awarded for 175 00:10:39,949 --> 00:10:38,009 reentry a guidance platform of Aquarius 176 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:39,959 designed to land on and take off from 177 00:10:45,949 --> 00:10:43,290 the moon would have to be used the first 178 00:10:48,319 --> 00:10:45,959 milestone and I consider exactly 179 00:10:51,710 --> 00:10:48,329 actually I guess more or less the two 180 00:10:54,699 --> 00:10:51,720 widely now the first milestone was to 181 00:10:56,900 --> 00:10:54,709 get alignment on a level platform 182 00:10:59,869 --> 00:10:56,910 alignments are important you know 183 00:11:01,759 --> 00:10:59,879 because without knowing exactly which 184 00:11:04,579 --> 00:11:01,769 way the attitude of the spacecraft in 185 00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:04,589 space is he'll learn how to learn or how 186 00:11:08,329 --> 00:11:06,569 goodness use the engines of that space 187 00:11:11,090 --> 00:11:08,339 back to get the propulsive proper 188 00:11:13,789 --> 00:11:11,100 exactly needs to come home the position 189 00:11:18,409 --> 00:11:13,799 we are in our green plane we have to go 190 00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:18,419 around the familiar to get back to the 191 00:11:22,519 --> 00:11:19,850 balloon to defend him 192 00:11:24,799 --> 00:11:22,529 we haven't had enough capability with 193 00:11:28,100 --> 00:11:24,809 the SPS engine they forgot where you 194 00:11:31,159 --> 00:11:28,110 said man but we have to go for the back 195 00:11:32,809 --> 00:11:31,169 side of the road and come down to get 196 00:11:34,729 --> 00:11:32,819 into the correct orbit around the moon 197 00:11:36,739 --> 00:11:34,739 the crew had burned out of a trajectory 198 00:11:38,539 --> 00:11:36,749 that would automatically bring them back 199 00:11:42,590 --> 00:11:38,549 to earth they would have to get back 200 00:11:44,859 --> 00:11:42,600 onto a safe course toward Earth he needs 201 00:11:48,049 --> 00:11:44,869 to produce a bottle to man also like 202 00:11:48,889 --> 00:11:48,059 travel to mere point after that 203 00:11:51,590 --> 00:11:48,899 everything 204 00:11:53,419 --> 00:11:51,600 this maneuver again was completed on 205 00:11:55,909 --> 00:11:53,429 time and because it was a manual burn we 206 00:11:57,979 --> 00:11:55,919 had a feeling that operation Jack good 207 00:11:59,299 --> 00:11:57,989 day take care of the climb you tell us 208 00:11:59,900 --> 00:11:59,309 them to light off the engine when we 209 00:12:02,689 --> 00:11:59,910 stopped it 210 00:12:04,249 --> 00:12:02,699 red handle girl which maneuver I handled 211 00:12:05,949 --> 00:12:04,259 the world globally when I push the 212 00:12:17,300 --> 00:12:05,959 button to start and stop the engines 213 00:12:28,260 --> 00:12:25,650 okay query she's looking good the first 214 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:28,270 problem was solved they were back on the 215 00:12:33,870 --> 00:12:30,970 path to work but there were many other 216 00:12:35,540 --> 00:12:33,880 problems we saw from a building at 217 00:12:38,010 --> 00:12:35,550 Houston's manned spacecraft Center 218 00:12:38,790 --> 00:12:38,020 systems experts coordinating the 219 00:12:43,620 --> 00:12:38,800 coast-to-coast 220 00:12:46,650 --> 00:12:43,630 effort to get the crew back one of the 221 00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:46,660 big problems was consumables there will 222 00:12:52,020 --> 00:12:49,210 be enough to eat and drink but in space 223 00:12:54,090 --> 00:12:52,030 there are other factors oxygen to 224 00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:54,100 breathe electrical power to keep the 225 00:12:59,280 --> 00:12:56,530 spacecraft alive water to clean the 226 00:13:01,050 --> 00:12:59,290 equipment and keep it operating but 227 00:13:03,390 --> 00:13:01,060 we'll be doing till we get them back on 228 00:13:05,820 --> 00:13:03,400 the water is concentrating on everything 229 00:13:07,350 --> 00:13:05,830 that is their lives and dependent upon 230 00:13:08,790 --> 00:13:07,360 at the moment rather than worrying about 231 00:13:11,340 --> 00:13:08,800 the accident because there's nothing we 232 00:13:13,770 --> 00:13:11,350 can do about that now as it appears its 233 00:13:14,220 --> 00:13:13,780 presence and on it everything is under 234 00:13:17,460 --> 00:13:14,230 control 235 00:13:25,710 --> 00:13:17,470 and that we have a safe situation at the 236 00:13:31,380 --> 00:13:25,720 moment are you guys okay we are about 17 237 00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:31,390 hours from home and we think we have the 238 00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:34,650 situation in control we've checked the 239 00:13:40,170 --> 00:13:38,050 consumables as I've described and we 240 00:13:43,410 --> 00:13:40,180 have a plan for carrying out the rest of 241 00:13:46,170 --> 00:13:43,420 the mission but there is going to be no 242 00:13:49,560 --> 00:13:46,180 relaxation at all as far as that goes 243 00:13:52,260 --> 00:13:49,570 fanatical splash there was a key 244 00:13:55,740 --> 00:13:52,270 decision to be made before Apollo 13 245 00:13:58,770 --> 00:13:55,750 went behind the moon where we bring 246 00:14:00,540 --> 00:13:58,780 down there present course was taken to 247 00:14:02,850 --> 00:14:00,550 the Indian Ocean where recovery would be 248 00:14:04,320 --> 00:14:02,860 difficult a burn to bring home quicker 249 00:14:07,320 --> 00:14:04,330 would take them to the Pacific Ocean 250 00:14:09,090 --> 00:14:07,330 near the recovery forces bringing them 251 00:14:10,500 --> 00:14:09,100 home even fast to replace them in the 252 00:14:13,260 --> 00:14:10,510 South Atlantic again 253 00:14:20,190 --> 00:14:13,270 away from recovery forces it was decided 254 00:14:23,390 --> 00:14:20,200 to take them to the Pacific soon ladies 255 00:14:27,020 --> 00:14:23,400 culture and educate the conscious 256 00:14:30,930 --> 00:14:27,030 continuously ever since left last night 257 00:14:33,870 --> 00:14:30,940 we tried to simulate virtually anything 258 00:14:38,730 --> 00:14:33,880 we've had the cool to do that is not 259 00:14:42,360 --> 00:14:38,740 normal they didn't prove the most fair 260 00:14:44,250 --> 00:14:42,370 thing that we've been able to run on the 261 00:14:46,260 --> 00:14:44,260 simulator part of pants me up there may 262 00:14:48,150 --> 00:14:46,270 be some detailing of them but basically 263 00:14:50,330 --> 00:14:48,160 we've checked the feasibility everything 264 00:14:55,020 --> 00:14:50,340 we've been and will continue to be Bay 265 00:14:56,940 --> 00:14:55,030 they past 137 miles from the moon for 266 00:14:59,790 --> 00:14:56,950 level it was the second time that he had 267 00:15:00,990 --> 00:14:59,800 seen the moon so near but there was no 268 00:15:04,240 --> 00:15:01,000 time for contemplation 269 00:15:10,520 --> 00:15:04,250 there was another critical burn coming 270 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:14,190 and in Houston the news men poured him 271 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:26,440 shortly after Apollo 13 had separated 272 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:28,850 from the Saturn third stage the states 273 00:15:33,550 --> 00:15:30,890 have been sent on to a trajectory toward 274 00:15:37,240 --> 00:15:33,560 the moon its impact would be recorded by 275 00:15:42,780 --> 00:15:37,250 the seismometer left by Apollo 12 by the 276 00:15:45,930 --> 00:15:42,790 way the plan 3c resulting from pro 277 00:15:49,810 --> 00:15:45,940 seismometer that's like your booster 278 00:15:53,530 --> 00:15:49,820 just hit the moon and it's rocking it a 279 00:15:56,770 --> 00:15:53,540 little bit while these cook for work the 280 00:15:59,770 --> 00:15:56,780 perfect answer glad we didn't have any 281 00:16:01,710 --> 00:15:59,780 I'll live impact to Jim you are go for 282 00:16:05,590 --> 00:16:01,720 the burn go for the burn 283 00:16:09,430 --> 00:16:05,600 Roger our current global firm guidance 284 00:16:10,390 --> 00:16:09,440 okay put your trust in Charles okay okay 285 00:16:13,900 --> 00:16:10,400 five down 286 00:16:17,640 --> 00:16:13,910 let's go fight take their okay we're 287 00:16:22,240 --> 00:16:17,650 dirtfoot ground confirmed recognition 288 00:16:24,890 --> 00:16:22,250 for burning 44s or a houston you're 289 00:16:37,170 --> 00:16:33,720 Roger shut down Roger shut down potatoes 290 00:16:40,050 --> 00:16:37,180 a dead bird charges I want to borrow 291 00:16:41,910 --> 00:16:40,060 dollars any possible literature to 292 00:16:44,790 --> 00:16:41,920 conserve the electric power and cooling 293 00:16:47,760 --> 00:16:44,800 water the crews shut down all over the 294 00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:47,770 vital life-sustaining systems of the 295 00:16:50,100 --> 00:16:48,130 length 296 00:16:52,980 --> 00:16:50,110 I think the blend spacecrafts in 297 00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:52,990 excellent shape and I think it's fully 298 00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:56,410 capable of getting the clear dr. I think 299 00:16:59,970 --> 00:16:57,970 as we get found before we turn and we 300 00:17:02,250 --> 00:16:59,980 put the limb spacecraft to a test 301 00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:02,260 it's always done much more than was 302 00:17:06,780 --> 00:17:03,730 guaranteed be doing I think this is a 303 00:17:10,500 --> 00:17:06,790 good case in point from sort of the 304 00:17:14,310 --> 00:17:10,510 consumables cooling water electric power 305 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:14,320 they when water gun was leaking and when 306 00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:17,290 we set that off I guess it makes about a 307 00:17:22,860 --> 00:17:20,650 quart of water or destiny but it took me 308 00:17:24,660 --> 00:17:22,870 about two days to get my feet dry and of 309 00:17:26,250 --> 00:17:24,670 course it is I think we're all aware 310 00:17:29,550 --> 00:17:26,260 that the temperatures were going down 311 00:18:27,280 --> 00:17:29,560 and the both vehicles in and that made 312 00:18:35,900 --> 00:18:32,750 Lord your astronauts will come back see 313 00:18:42,530 --> 00:18:35,910 if I may be serious for one moment and 314 00:18:48,740 --> 00:18:42,540 ask the entire audience for a moment of 315 00:18:53,480 --> 00:18:48,750 prayer for the two men of the Apollo 13 316 00:18:53,490 --> 00:19:23,530 a standard 52 percent and 2 percent 317 00:19:30,700 --> 00:19:25,970 going down in temperature but I think 318 00:19:34,669 --> 00:19:30,710 fundamentally we found about 38 degrees 319 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:34,679 along a path below sort of chilling for 320 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:37,530 those three roles of perspiring but when 321 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:40,050 they get completely wet because it 322 00:19:45,610 --> 00:19:43,530 wasn't too healthy unequality hot dogs 323 00:19:59,799 --> 00:19:45,620 when they were puppies into the food or 324 00:20:03,500 --> 00:20:02,150 handle the situation what happened we 325 00:20:07,190 --> 00:20:03,510 haven't exactly I would expect 326 00:20:07,940 --> 00:20:07,200 completely everybody's well on top of it 327 00:20:09,770 --> 00:20:07,950 as anybody could be 328 00:20:12,110 --> 00:20:09,780 when we were here which isn't very much 329 00:20:14,660 --> 00:20:12,120 like to admit presence they did 330 00:20:16,880 --> 00:20:14,670 everything right within the college it 331 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:16,890 was available tuition of the time the 332 00:20:22,090 --> 00:20:18,690 fashion which is that's two always 333 00:20:24,500 --> 00:20:22,100 threatening to get a beautiful job 334 00:20:27,080 --> 00:20:24,510 that's the one I wrote little Sophie's 335 00:20:28,549 --> 00:20:27,090 language president put on and come off a 336 00:20:30,970 --> 00:20:28,559 little bit warm 337 00:20:34,880 --> 00:20:30,980 the astronauts faced another problem 338 00:20:36,980 --> 00:20:34,890 their own exhaled breath the lithium 339 00:20:39,110 --> 00:20:36,990 hydroxide chemical to take carbon 340 00:20:41,870 --> 00:20:39,120 dioxide out of the air was not 341 00:20:43,700 --> 00:20:41,880 sufficient in the lunar module they 342 00:20:46,370 --> 00:20:43,710 would have to adapt the canisters from 343 00:20:49,549 --> 00:20:46,380 the command module to fit the hoses in 344 00:20:51,440 --> 00:20:49,559 the LEM on the ground an adapter was 345 00:20:54,169 --> 00:20:51,450 fashioned from materials that crew have 346 00:20:58,070 --> 00:20:54,179 had available in the lab cardboard from 347 00:21:00,710 --> 00:20:58,080 a checklist plastic bags and tape after 348 00:21:03,320 --> 00:21:00,720 checkout in an environmental chamber the 349 00:21:07,220 --> 00:21:03,330 directions for construction were sent up 350 00:21:08,930 --> 00:21:07,230 to Aquarius at this point I'm I think 351 00:21:11,480 --> 00:21:08,940 the particle pressure of carbon dioxide 352 00:21:14,090 --> 00:21:11,490 was reading about fifteen millimeters 353 00:21:15,740 --> 00:21:14,100 and we constructed two of these things 354 00:21:18,710 --> 00:21:15,750 and put them on a line and I think 355 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:18,720 within an hour the partial pressure of 356 00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:22,410 co2 was down to two tenths but isn't it 357 00:21:29,570 --> 00:21:25,850 their survival rod now began one OPA of 358 00:21:32,510 --> 00:21:29,580 emotionalism ingenuity there was one was 359 00:21:34,010 --> 00:21:32,520 the ground continually helpless 360 00:21:35,870 --> 00:21:34,020 there are all kinds of people on the 361 00:21:37,930 --> 00:21:35,880 ground trying to think of ways of 362 00:21:40,580 --> 00:21:37,940 extending our lifetime 363 00:21:42,950 --> 00:21:40,590 there would be still another brownie 364 00:21:45,380 --> 00:21:42,960 I'll get close correction we get Apollo 365 00:21:48,370 --> 00:21:45,390 13 into the narrow corridor through the 366 00:21:57,310 --> 00:21:48,380 atmosphere for a safe return to work 367 00:21:57,320 --> 00:22:01,120 dress looks good 368 00:22:07,250 --> 00:22:05,020 shut down hang an era won't be long 369 00:22:09,590 --> 00:22:07,260 there are moments when I didn't know how 370 00:22:12,860 --> 00:22:09,600 much jingles had where we can make you 371 00:22:13,910 --> 00:22:12,870 guys come out but this is always why I 372 00:22:17,150 --> 00:22:13,920 thought there's only one thing you can 373 00:22:18,470 --> 00:22:17,160 do we'll just keep going and you just 374 00:22:22,340 --> 00:22:18,480 keep thinking up the way you can get 375 00:22:26,870 --> 00:22:22,350 more continue and so that's exactly what 376 00:22:31,190 --> 00:22:26,880 we did on April 17th they prepared for 377 00:22:46,260 --> 00:22:33,890 after the small course collecting burn 378 00:22:58,140 --> 00:22:46,270 begins in the damaged service module is 379 00:23:00,810 --> 00:22:58,150 that right next they got back into 380 00:23:12,660 --> 00:23:00,820 Odyssey to jettison Aquarius prior to 381 00:23:16,980 --> 00:23:12,670 entering into the atmosphere healthcare 382 00:23:58,979 --> 00:23:16,990 yellow s and a half entry attitude we 383 00:23:58,989 --> 00:26:06,240 Odyssey Houston standing by 384 00:26:14,669 --> 00:26:12,000 I recall getting the van I spoke to you 385 00:26:17,100 --> 00:26:14,679 on the phone you said that you regretted 386 00:26:17,820 --> 00:26:17,110 that you were unable to complete your 387 00:26:20,460 --> 00:26:17,830 mission 388 00:26:25,110 --> 00:26:20,470 I hereby declare that this was a 389 00:26:27,450 --> 00:26:25,120 successful mission from the start the 390 00:26:31,350 --> 00:26:27,460 exploration of space has been positive 391 00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:31,360 Spencer the voyage of Apollo 13 drama 392 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:37,090 tile is to twist the men of Apollo 13 by 393 00:26:43,020 --> 00:26:39,490 their poise and skills under the most 394 00:26:46,220 --> 00:26:43,030 intense kind of pressure it minimize the 395 00:26:52,140 --> 00:26:46,230 character that accepts danger and 396 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:52,150 surmounted there is the spirit that 397 00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:53,850 built America 398 00:27:00,270 --> 00:26:57,490 your missions serve your country it 399 00:27:03,060 --> 00:27:00,280 serve to remind us all of our poverty of 400 00:27:08,039 --> 00:27:03,070 a nation to remind us that in this age 401 00:27:12,630 --> 00:27:08,049 of technicians and scientific marvels 402 00:27:17,070 --> 00:27:12,640 that the individual still counts that in 403 00:27:25,490 --> 00:27:17,080 a crisis the character of America or of 404 00:27:29,690 --> 00:27:25,500 men will make fit gets a certain 405 00:27:36,659 --> 00:27:29,700 procedures on telly FDL flexible 406 00:27:39,630 --> 00:27:36,669 go-getter so Artie see you on any
