13 Factors That Saved Apollo 13 - Part 1: To the Moon... and Back? | History Documentary

13 Factors That Saved Apollo 13 is a gripping tale of distant desperation and heroics. When an oxygen leak threatened the lives of three astronauts, the mission became a life or death attempt to get them home safely, organised by people 200,000 miles away. With limited power and supplies on board the spacecraft, NASA teams worked around the clock to engineer creative solutions to overcome carbon dioxide poisoning, dehydration, and the freezing temperatures of deep space to ensure the crew’s survival. Using spectacular footage, exclusive interviews with Apollo’s space scientists and stunning visual effects, this film explores 13 remarkable factors that brought the crew safely home. Explore the full story of the courage and ingenuity that cemented Apollo 13 as NASA’s finest hour.

Imagine being one of these 3 men & you have to sit & listen to nutjobs say you were never in space, it's fake, etc etc. Great doc. One of the craziest stories you will ever hear.

I remember this incident quite well, it was one of those moments in time when you never forget where you were and what you were doing.

I’ve stood right next to the Saturn V rocket in Houston. To say that it’s huge is a major understatement.

[yellowlynx]

I stumbled upon this and learned a lot how these design of the Command Module, Service Module and Lunar Excursion Module contributed to the astronauts' safe return.
Very educating.

The Crew of Apollo 13 proved Survival is the best success!

[nobunaga]

In profile Jim Lovell looks just like Kevin Costner. Hollywood missed a trick there!

The duct tape could actually plug up a hole in the ship from a meteor. Even a pretty large hole. That would make a good duct tape commercial.

Jim was always one of my favorite astronaut

I didn't know that Britishers worked in the Apollo program, except for Cliff Charlesworth. He was the flight director for the even-numbered Apollo missions. Gene Kranz directed the odd-numbered missions.

A had an uncle that worked for NASA, a cousin that works at the Pentagon, and my dad helped draw out the scematics or blueprints, for the F-16, in the Air force. I've done nothing great, myself except, survive a massive stroke at 35.... So, couldnt.

28:39 A bit of context that is often misreported and I'm glad this documentary points out is how the lunar lander suddenly became a lifeboat. Despite most dramatic depictions this wasn't entirely improvised. Considering the lander had to be able to operate separately even on a normal mission the transfer of a lot of command was already on the books anyway. The books also had some emergency procedures for quicker transfer and this kind of use of the lander. Mind you those procedures only prepared for partial failure of the command module and not the cascading set of troubles during Apollo 13 since it was thought the lander was already over-engineered.

I'm too young to have witnessed this firsthand bit I find it fascinating the computer that powered these missions was less powerful than my phone.

[brianhoskie]

That's what teamwork is all about.First it was 3 for all.Then it was all for 3.

[jodyssey]

How did they not cast Kevin Costner as Jim Lovell in the movie? Looks like they could be brothers when viewed side on.

[popeye]

25:35 Nova would have been the most Kerbal solution.

[LAGoodz]

Great documentary, thank you. I didn’t realise there were British engineers on the programme?

[Nicksonian]

It’s a testament to Ron Howard’s Apollo 13 film that if you watch it, you’ll already know pretty much everything in this documentary. While this is a good documentary for people who don’t know much about it, I didn’t learn anything new.

I saw the Saturn 5 in pieces & on it's side when I was married, & was visiting my in-laws in Florida. -Michael McClary, Professor Emeritus of Trumpet 🎺, Georgia Perimeter College and y😮❤🎉
