The Unbelievable True Story Of The Apollo 13 Rescue

WTF is a capshule? The's no fuckin 'H' in capsule!

I'm glad the world can see how much of a goofball Jim Lovell is.

I remember watching as much of this on TV as possible while it was happening.

Hate when people zoom in the video to fool the copyright

One enormous yet intangible benefit of the Apollo missions was the phenomenon of sheer inspiration. My family of engineers and future physicists still recalls how they felt. I remember my then teenage cousin running through the house yelling, "I've GOT to be an astronomer!"

that there is what a missing screw can do to any machine

Now I am sure that Kevin Costner should have played the role of Jim Lovell...

I was so obsessed with my freshman year in college what with the struggle it was for me and an upcoming solo hitchhiking excursion to Europe—but still find it impossibly frustrating that I didn’t even know that this crisis in space was occurring. I hate to admit that the film released during the late-1990s was my first true exposure to the crisis. Since then, of course, I viewed any documentary or book about this veritable miracle I could get my hands on. I don’t regret my attention to other matters which kept me ignorant for so long because I was able to analyze the event with fresh eyes.

Nice and factual, but the Apollo 13 movie actually did a better job of showing all the tension, all the efforts, and all the emotions of this mission.
I will never forget the 4 extra minutes of silence during the reentry, expected to be less than 1 minute, when even Walter Cronkite was saying they were very likely burned up on reentry, and then the intense emotion when after more than 4 minutes, suddenly we heard them!! I still break into tears every time I see this story and I'm crying right now as I type this. I'm really sorry this video didn't show that.

Seriously, were all the NASA engineers British?

I wonder if ai could have made the return of Apollo 13 successfully. Does ai have the imagination and ingenuity that humans have?

Having lived through this event when it happened the memories flooded back of this amazing achievement... No doubt one of man's finest hours ! Thank you for this brilliant production, and yes I did have tears of joy in my eyes at the end !!!

Im a HVAC contractor and also have been in situations to overcome and adapt to more issues than I care to remember and YES duct tape has got to be one of the GREATEST inventions mankind has come up with .....Hands down !!

Not enough mention or credit was given to Ken Mattingly in this program for his role in helping bring the astronauts back safely.

I walk the streets of destitution every day.

There's no such thing as earthrise due to the same face is alwayys on the moon. Sorry Houston, take your problems to the asylum.

Stanley. Make me a hoax.

I very doubt JFK could have imagined this level of effort by all involved?

And then America became space losers after such amazing thing..

Rotisserie spacecraft! I love it!

Amazing experience .. have to make the most of any situation and live to tell 🙏

Would they have made it to the moon if the call not to stir the oxygen tanks came though or nasa didn't bother with stirring the tanks. Would the explosion still have happened?!

We can end 𝑨𝑳𝑳 of this Bullsh•t RIGHT NOW with a FACT and not even mention the Apollo missions!

TODAY, 𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒗𝒆𝒓𝒚 𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒅, it is STILL impossible for 𝗔𝗡𝗬 𝗦𝗣𝗔𝗖𝗘 𝗔𝗚𝗘𝗡𝗖𝗬 on the planet (ɪɴᴄʟᴜᴅɪɴɢ ɴᴀsᴀ) to land a human on the Moon!!

Those are FACTS today...now my friends its up to you to 𝒇𝒊𝒈𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒐𝒖𝒕 how the United States government, led by the corrupt President, 𝐑𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐍𝐢𝐱𝐨𝐧 duped you more than HALF of a CENTURY ago❗

That's a seriously impressive set of gnashers that man has there and my goodness Bob Odenkirk should have played Lovell in Apollo 13 still a really good movie

I agree. This was NASA's finest hour. Now can we apply all that required to mankind and address the healing we need on earth?

It really is unbelievable, America had lost interest in 13 until the accident - whether this happened in lunar orbit, low earth orbit or Stanley Kubrick's garden shed it was likely a PR exercise to justify continuing the Apollo program, and a highly successful one at that.

One thing about Nasa I do not like is the secrecy of missions, failed missions, disasters, and what they really know about the moon and near celestial bodies. The US tax payer pays for that organization and they have no right to act like the fbi about Information. We should be able to read and see any report or pictures we want as the funding citizen body.
Hopefully Trump's 2nd administration will provide laws, plans, or practices for transparency about information in every facet of tax funded anything

I was there! I don’t believe any of this

Watched this as a kid and wanted to be a astronaut.

To hear an English narrator mis-pronounce is very, very odd. At least it was only the one word (Jack's surname).
I read a couple of years ago that NASA already had contingency plans for the make-shift Lo2 device, so it was already a known thing, known by the boffins that is, not necessarily the Astronauts.

Our finest hour.

Great documentary ruined by music and weird ass sound effects!!

Listening to these recordings is one of my favourite things ever ....

Rocket scientists would be the last to admit to superstitions...And yet...The number 13....Apollo 13...launched on the 13th of the month..Plus some other #13 but I can't remember what it was....

Some say Apollo 13 was a failure.. It was actually the most successful mission we’ve seen

Excuse my ignorance but I thought they're all Americans. Since where did the British had any hand in the actual mission itself?

This is pretty much the best Apollo 13 doc that I've seen. Thank you for posting!

...why don't headphone's designers bring back old style headphones, like mission controller looks? 🍺💪°°🥴°🤳

QUE FRASE TAN TONTA Y DESABRIDA DE ARMSTRONG AL PISAR LA LUNA .....O NO ESTUVO ALLI ?

Like the Apollo 13 film your representation of the course correction is incorrect. They were not thrusting towards the moon. For the free return burn they were thrusting perpendicular to their direction of travel. The same flaw is shown in the film when correcting their course later in the mission
The skimming off the atmosphere isn't exactly what happens, hitting the atmosphere at a shallow angle will still show down the craft and lower it's orbit but it might be meant how it even days before it reaches periapsis where it would catch the atmosphere again and probably re-enter but well after the astronauts were dead.

Well done film on the legendary story. Amazing we got those guys back.

Fantastic job!!!

Great documentary....better than the Hollywood version 👍

The Lord created the problem. After that, man said "We'll take it from here"!

They should be showing these videos to high school students to motivate them to study and aim for the highest possible careers.

Hearing the news conferences, scientists tell the truth of the situation, makes us feel we want to help.

Cette reussite tranche avec les desastres de la navette.
C'etait fut le pic de l'Amerique.

You'd think he'd know how to say Gemini properly.

Being an astronaut would do for a job.
