  • “Houston, we've had a problem” is the now famous phrase radioed from Apollo 13 to Mission Control upon the catastrophic explosion that dramatically changed the mission.
    On the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo 13 mission, we recognize the triumph of the mission control team and the astronauts, and look at the lessons learned. The Apollo 13 mission has become known as “a successful failure” that saw the safe return of its crew Commander James (Jim) Lovell Jr., Command Module Pilot John Swigert Jr. and Lunar Module Pilot Fred Haise Jr.
    Thanks to Stephen Slater and Ben Feist/Apollo in Real Time (apolloinrealtime.org/13) for providing additional footage and audio. Thanks for Andy Saunders for providing additional enhanced images.

      @Bilal Khalid this is a conspiracy theory with no scientific basis. Epidemics have existed before the 5g towers. If you are talking about radiation poisoning, that has nothing to do with infecting people and causing the specific simptomes the coronavirus has. Radiation does not spread from person to person, neither does it spread by human saliva. The coronavirus is a mutated version of the sars virus, but 5g towers and radiation are not the ones to blame. Such radiation cannot affect the mutation of viruses, as viruses are not alive, they do not posses the biological tissue to be affected by radiation in such a way it would mutate into this.

Not only did I get to meet him, shake his hand and have him sign my book "Failure Is Not An Option" which he wrote, I got to hear Craft give his speech. This was just a few months before he passed away. It was a very special evening and special event in my life. I highly recommend everyone read that book. It was such an incredible read that I was saddened when I finished it and it overwhelmed me emotionally. Fill my eyes with tears. These men were of a different bread.

      I had a similar experience although not related to Apollo 13. Back in 2000 I had the honor or meeting Neil Armstrong. At the time I worked for a local TV station in Cincinnati and Armstrong lived in the area. I went to his house and shot and interview for some awards video (not for broadcast). I took a book along I read, Moon Shot written by Alan Shepard and Deke Slayton. Upon leaving I asked if he'd sign my book. He did! He said to me, "I better not see this on eBay". I assured him he would not and to this day I still have it in my possession. I also got my picture taken with him. Before I departed I asked him one question, "what was the first airplane you ever flew"? He said it was an Aeronca Champ. I told him I've actually flown that airplane with a flight instructor when I was getting my pilots license. How cool is that? I flew the same airplane Neil Armstrong learned to fly in. What a special moment that was.

    Growing up i used to be obsessed with the movie Apollo 13 which is based on this event. I would watvh it constantly on repeat. One day i had watched it 5 times in a row, as soon as it finished, i would rewind and watch it again.

    Considering they were drifting in the huge emptiness of Space with damaged equipment and losing power and still managed to get back to Earth shows the inmense and amazing work everyone put to bring them back and the titanic amount of Divine Intervention on that mission .

      Wow , the desperation of Atheists to mock the dead and the speed at which they do it is insane .
      Considering they failed to make a door that opened properly under strong heat , blame NASA .

      @Unusual Stranger You started this! The desperation of Theists to convince everybody of their childish beliefs is insane.
      You see amazing technicians saving some lives - you call it divine intervention.
      You see some technicians making a mistake - human error. God hat no time to intervene - he was busy killing children in Africa with Malaria.

    I was a 6th grader when Apollo 13 happened. Our teacher had sparked our interest in the moon landings. Now we turned to him to explain to us exactly what the crew of Apollo 13 faced, and to explain to us exactly what the odds were for their safe return. He leveled with us about the hazards but told us there was a real chance they could make it back. Then we watched the splashdown on a TV brought into the school.

    I lived through this - from the UK with almost no coverage compared to 11 and ever 12. If we had CZcams or something similar back then, wow - it would have been different. Last night I watched two launches and landings - from multiple angles, live and repeated. Apollo 13 was horrifically real - distant and impossible to deal with - but they did it ! Majestic !
