Having to apply your intelligence and quick thinking in real time on a life or death situation. Hats off to these men.

I know this story backwards and forwards, but your rendition of it still brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for posting it.

It really goes to show how much training they go through to become astronauts. A lot of luck is involved but also an insane amount of hard work.

Just one word to describe Thoughty2's ability to narrate a story: Brilliant.

Everyone wants to be an astronaut, but those people show why very few can actually work that job. That was incredible story and I admit I've never heard of them. But I can't describe how impressed I am. This is rare kind of courage.

At the risk of sounding cheesy, this is one of the great heroic stories of the 20th century. Three guys in a then high tech space craft nearly get terminated by a mechanical flaw. But despite the hostile environment, space, manage to bring themselves home safely. It's not an exaggeration to say the entire world held its breathe during the 4 minute coms black spot, and cheered with relief when they came through. And in a parallel with ancient stories it retells the story of Odysseus although he took 10 or 20 years and had more close shaves than Apollo 13. This is why Homer is such a ripping yarn.

Honestly this is there isn’t a better survival story in human kind… ever. At any point, any fraction of a mistake would have cost them their lives. Even fatigued and starving they still were able to do what likely no one else could have done. I love hearing this story. Every time I am blown away.

No matter how many times I hear the story, I will always be fighting the urge to break down crying.
They were so close to death the entire time. Normal people would have been sobbing and shaking and arguing away their last regrets to each other, but not these heroes.

To me, this equals, or possibly surpasses the achievement of actually landing on the moon. Having so many people creating solutions on the fly, and astronauts who definitely had "the right stuff"...even knowing the ending, you are on the edge of your seat watching this. Explorers at their absolute best!

I've seen countless of documentaries, interviews and fictional depictions of this story - and I cannot choose a favorite. The entire press conference about the incident from 1970 is also on YT, and is well worth a watch (or listen). These guys kept their cool and got the job done. They really were made of "the right stuff".

They did a great job with the movie, but I appreciate you breaking down how each of the modules worked with graphics and everything. There were definitely some parts they had to gloss over in the film for time and narrative flow, and this helped me understand parts of it better.

The movie version was an instant classic and one the best and most memorable movies I've watched growing up. I can even still remember the music score up until now.

April 11th, 1970 is about to celebrate its 53rd anniversary soon. I remember the difficulty of living through the stress of just not knowing the outcome while everything transpired as well as the exhilaration of getting them back safely. Tough times and the elation of a successful return took a while to sink in. The next day we all looked at each other and said, "Are you SURE they all made it back safely?"
"Lessons learned are like bridges burned - we only need cross them but once. Is the knowledge gained worth the price of the pain - Are the spoils worth the cost of the hunt?" [Dan Fogelberg]
Try not to forget.

Amazing job talking about this survival story. Well done, Thoughty2! Especially considering that most people have probably seen the movie and know the story already. But as always the book is much better.
