It a movie not all the facts are going to be spot on but t might make people to read more about it which would make a more informed person I think it's a great fill.

 

Very nice thank you. Greetings from Finland also. 100th comment i feel special. Yes happy 50th. I was 12 in 1969 and glued to the TV. I was into building models at that age and I built a Saturn Five. Back then glue was used and paint. I was proud of my models but the Saturn Five was my best model. I still had it when I began engineering studies several years later. America kicked the ball out of the field in those days. Very proud. Incredible moments when all the world was following the Apollo 13 ordeal! It was one of the finest moments for the space program, second only to the moon landing! Thanks for posting, it brought back the reason why I am an engineer.

13:30 Info: says six hours Picture: says one hour 👌. 0:59 I think that looks like the N1 first stage. Huh, this is really low-suspense compared to the movie. It is like an episode from HBO's FTETTM.

Earlier in the day at mission control in Houston, capsule communicator (Capcom) Joe Kerwin had reported that the spacecraft was “in real good shape”, and joked to the crew “we’re bored to tears down here. ” In fact, Nasa’s third Moon landing had completely failed to capture the public imagination. “People were getting bored, ” Lovell (now 89 but sounding 20 years younger) tells BBC Future. “The publicity for Apollo 13 you could find on the weather page of the newspaper, that was it. ” At 55 hours and 46 minutes into the flight, the crew finished their live TV message to Earth. They had taken viewers on a tour of their command module and lunar lander. None of the major TV networks carried the broadcast. Jim Lovell (left) says the public had become bored with the US space programme (Credit: Nasa) “The media didn’t have anyone at the control centre, ” says Sy Liebergot, who was sitting at his position behind the Electrical Environmental and Communications (Eecom) console. “They figured the public wasn’t interested in us going and landing on the Moon. ” Only recently out of college, Liebergot was among the dozens of young men – most in their 20s at the time of the Moon landings – recruited into mission control. Responsible for the health of the critical life support systems on the Apollo spacecraft, he features in a new documentary movie, Mission Control: The Unsung Heroes of Apollo. The philosophy of overseeing manned space flights from a single room, with a clear chain of command, had been developed by Chris Kraft, who had honed his ideas in aviation testing. Kraft likened mission control to an orchestra, with separate sections co-ordinated by a conductor or, in this case, Flight Director. All commands went through ‘Flight’ and were communicated to the astronauts via a single Capcom – usually an astronaut. “We on the ground knew more about the spacecraft and its operation than the crew, ” says Liebergot. “Work the problem – that was the mantra. It’s not the training kicking in, it’s the training to become disciplined. ” Everything possible had been done to eliminate confusion or muddled decision making. In fact, drama was the last thing anyone wanted. “Thirteen, ” says Capcom Jack Lousma, before the crew were due to settle down for the night. “We’re got one more item for you when you get a chance, we’d like you to stir up your cryo tanks. ” Apollo 13 would have been the third mission to land on the Moon (Credit: Nasa) These tanks, in the spacecraft service module, were Liebergot’s responsibility. They held oxygen and hydrogen, which was converted to electricity and water in three fuel cells – powering the capsule and providing the astronauts with drinking water. The routine instruction to turn on stirring fans was to make sure the liquid in the fuel vessels was properly mixed, to ensure the gauges gave accurate readings. Swigert flicks the switches for the fans. Two minutes later, there is a bang and the master alarm sounds. On the ground, Liebergot is beginning the last hour of his eight-hour shift and is the first to see something has gone wrong. “The data went crazy, there was a lot of commotion in the room, ” he says. “We didn’t know what we were seeing. ” That eight-hour shift would eventually end three days later. “Houston, we’ve had a problem here, ” Lovell tells mission control. “It looks to me, looking out the hatch, that we are venting something. We are venting something out into space. ” The damage to the spacecraft could be seen as the crew drifted away in the lunar module (Credit: Nasa) It was becoming clear that this was no telemetry error. “When the explosion first occurred, we didn’t know what had happened, ” says Lovell. “It wasn’t until I saw the oxygen escaping and saw on the instrument panel that we’d completely lost oxygen out of one tank, and it was rapidly disappearing out of the second, that I realised we were in deep trouble. ” With the TV stations scrambling for information, interrupting programmes to cut to mission control, Flight director, Gene Kranz, had his team “work the problem”. Everyone in the room was instructed to talk only on their headsets, call in their support staff and establish what was wrong. “It never occurred to us that we wouldn’t bring the crew back alive, ” says Liebergot. “That was not the attitude of flight controllers. ” The mission control team worked around the clock to bring the fragile module back home (Credit: Nasa) But 200, 000 miles (322, 000 kilometres) away and still heading away from Earth, Lovell was not as certain. “We didn’t have any solutions about how to get back or exactly what to do, ” he says. “That was perhaps the low point in the flight as regards the odds of whether we would get back to Earth or not. ” With responsibility for the failed systems, Liebergot’s role now was to attempt to save as much oxygen and, therefore, power on the damaged spacecraft as possible. His strategy, using an emergency procedure drawn up in the event of a fuel cell failure, was to begin powering down the spacecraft – reducing the demand on the one remaining operational fuel cell. “The job was to keep the fuel cell in the command module going long enough for the astronauts to get into the lunar lander and get those systems working, ” he says. “And that’s what we did in a very orderly, trouble-shooting procedure to keep the fuel cells going. ” Up in space, the crew weren’t floating around waiting for instructions. They had already begun moving across to the fully intact lunar lander, although Lovell soon realised it was not going to be comfortable. Despite fears over whether the parachutes would deploy, the module made its way back to Earth (Credit: Getty Images) “The lunar module is very fragile, ” he says. “It was only designed to support two people over two days and as I counted the crew there were three of us and we figured it would take four days to get back. ” “We finally got to the point where we realised we weren’t going to be able to land on the Moon, the mission was gone, ” says Liebergot. “The decision was made to loop around the Moon to intercept the Earth. ” Over the coming days, mission controllers worked around the clock – grabbing a few minutes of sleep under their desks when they could – to get the Apollo 13 crew home. There were plenty of problems to “work”. They planned thruster burns to stay on course and figured out how to keep the astronauts alive – using a plastic cover, an old sock and duct tape to fit the square carbon dioxide scrubbers from the command module into the round scrubber holes in the lander. “It was a collaboration, a tale of two groups, ” says Lovell, who makes it clear in our interview that neither group was having an easy time. “One in a comfortable control room with hot coffee and cigarettes – that had to come up with the ideas to get us back… and the second group in a cold, damp spacecraft to correctly execute those decisions. ” The successful rescue led to scenes of jubilation at mission control (Credit: Nasa) Even when Liebergot’s Eecom team managed to power-up the capsule again for the safe return to Earth, there was no guarantee the crew would survive. In their efforts to save energy, mission control had been forced to sacrifice the electrical power used to keep the parachute systems warm. “If the pyrotechnics that fired the parachutes failed, ” says Lovell, “we would have been on course but going too fast to survive a water landing. ” It was only, on 17 April, when TV viewers around the world watched the Apollo 13 capsule descend through the clouds on its three parachutes to splash down in the Pacific that mission controllers knew they had been successful. The crew became international heroes. After celebratory cigars were handed round in the control room, Liebergot and his Eecom team headed home to sleep. A few days later, they were back at work, planning the next mission. The three astronauts' rescue brought the space programme back to the front pages (Credit: Getty Images) Today you are as likely to see women as men behind the consoles of mission control but the principles, originally set out by Chris Kraft in the 1960s, are still in place. Each mission is a team effort. Behind every astronaut there are hundreds of people doing their best to ensure the crew makes it back to Earth alive. And, says Lovell, the Apollo 13 mission remains one of its finest hours. “In retrospect after years of thinking about it, ” he says, “the explosion of Apollo 13 was probably the best thing that could have happened to the space programme. ” Mission Control: The Unsung Heroes of Apollo was released worldwide on 14 April.

Everyone is entitled to their opinions but please don't attack others or their opinions. I just watched the Captain Philips one and I'm starting to think Tom Hanks like Disaster Movies. Houston we have a problem we have a MN BUS B UNDERVOL We have a MN BUS B A UNDERVOLT now to. Wow Gene Krantz is so awesome and Ed Harris is awesome playing him. I understand (although sad) that exact depiction is not what sells a movie, no matter how dramatic the actual events. Director Howard made (I think) good decisions remaining true to those involved, but getting the story out to the public. These brave men and women would not have their proper place in history (sadly) without this fine film.

I remember seeing the beginning of this as a child. I have no memory of much else besides i'm afraid i can't do that dave which i may have seen elsewhere; now i have just watched the whole show and it is as memorable to me now as it was then... The year I was Born. Who do I know when theyll charge me ? I didnt get charged to my card. they just emailed me a receipt. Ed harris is the shit. Awesome in THE ROCK. That was great. If they can put a washing machine in space, my Jimmy can bring it home. My favorite quote from the movie. Duct tape. Of course they survived.

If i get 1 cent each time they would say: Houston, we have a problem, i would have exactly 1 cent. They need to say it allot more. I'm not crying, you're crying. Lel, they had to reupholstered this video because of every comment being about the Mandela effect. Don't tell me I'm starting this again. Wait NOOOOOOOOOO. Home Missions Apollo 13 "Houston, we've had a problem" Apollo 13 was to be the third mission to land on the Moon. An explosion in one of the oxygen tanks crippled the spacecraft during flight and the crew were forced to orbit the Moon and return to the Earth without landing. Summary of Events The Apollo 13 mission was launched at 2:13 p. m. EST, April 11, 1970 from launch complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center. Apollo 13 Launch The space vehicle crew consisted of James A. Lovell, Jr. commander, John L. Swigert, Jr., command module pilot and Fred W. Haise, Jr. lunar module pilot. The Apollo 13 Mission was planned as a lunar landing mission but was aborted en route to the moon after about 56 hours of flight due to loss of service module cryogenic oxygen and consequent loss of capability to generate electrical power, to provide oxygen and to produce water. Spacecraft systems performance was nominal until the fans in cryogenic oxygen tank 2 were turned on at 55:53:18 ground elapsed time (GET). About 2 seconds after energizing the fan circuit, a short was indicated in the current from fuel cell 3, which was supplying power to cryogenic oxygen tank 2 fans. Within several additional seconds, two other shorted conditions occurred. Electrical shorts in the fan circuit ignited the wire insulation, causing temperature and pressure to increase within cryogenic oxygen tank 2. When pressure reached the cryogenic oxygen tank 2 relief valve full-flow conditions of 1008 psi, the pressure began decreasing for about 9 seconds, at which time the relief valve probably reseated, causing the pressure to rise again momentarily. About a quarter of a second later, a vibration disturbance was noted on the command module accelerometers. The next series of events occurred within a fraction of a second between the accelerometer disturbances and the data loss. A tank line burst, because of heat, in the vacuum jacket pressurizing the annulus and, in turn, causing the blow-out plug on the vacuum jacket to rupture. Some mechanism in bay 4 combined with the oxygen buildup in that bay to cause a rapid pressure rise which resulted in separation of the outer panel. The panel struck one of the dishes of the high-gain antenna. The panel separation shock closed the fuel cell 1 and 3 oxygen reactant shut-off valves and several propellant and helium isolation valves in the reaction control system. Data were lost for about 1. 8 seconds as the high-gain antenna switched from narrow beam to wide beam, because of the antenna being hit and damaged. As a result of these occurrences, the CM was powered down and the LM was configured to supply the necessary power and other consumables. The CSM was powered down at approximately 58:40 GET. The surge tank and repressurization package were isolated with approximately 860 psi residual pressure (approx. 6. 5 lbs of oxygen total). The primary water glycol system was left with radiators bypassed. All LM systems performed satisfactorily in providing the necessary power and environmental control to the spacecraft. The requirement for lithium hydroxide to remove carbon dioxide from the spacecraft atmosphere was met by a combination of the CM and LM cartridges since the LM cartridges alone would not satisfy the total requirement. The crew, with direction from Mission Control, built an adapter for the CM cartridges to accept LM hoses. The service module was jettisoned at approximately 138 hours GET, and the crew observed and photographed the bay-4 area where the cryogenic tank anomaly had occurred. At this time, the crew remarked that the outer skin covering for bay-4 had been severely damaged, with a large portion missing. The LM was jettisoned about 1 hour before entry, which was performed nominally using primary guidance and navigation system.

Don't stir the tanks. They had done it 4-5 times on the mission already.

Jim Lovell looks eerily similar to that captain who saved Private Ryan. His father perhaps

Screenplay: tripe Direction: competent FX: good Acting: excellent
A great true story into a Football Movie in space? Harris is the coach, and Hanks the QB. Kevin Bacon? He's the RB who fumbled the ball in the 1st Quarter and must now redeem himself. Paxton? The Tight End who sprained his knee in the 3rd Quarter but somehow pulls through the pain anyway. The man in the simulator? He's the benched chap who is dying to be out there on the field with the boys. You know from Frame 1 that the Hail Mary will be caught. And the dialogue is not simply shopworn, it's so manipulative you can almost feel the heartstrings being tugged at.
And, Hanks, Bacon, and Paxton, play it with the sort of conviction that would be better applied to the last production ever of HAMLET. The last three are shot in close-up, just like M. Falconetti, for almost the entire film. If any one of them doubted for one second what he was doing, the movie would fail.
The 1930s (Rest In Peace) were the Golden Age of screen writing. But right now, right under your nose, is the Golden Age of screen acting, and no one will realize it until it's gone.

This is why I love this channel so much, 25 minutes in and okay, NOW we can review the movie XD.
