An "electrical failure." What exactly does that mean? 853 01:03:10,486 --> 01:03:13,398 The emergency has ruled out any chance of a lunar landing... 854 01:03:13,489 --> 01:03:16,196 and could endanger the lives of the astronauts... 855 01:03:16,258 --> 01:03:20,365 if the LEM oxygen supply, plus whatever is left of the command module's oxygen... 856 01:03:20,529 --> 01:03:22,838 can't last them until they can get back to Earth. 857 01:03:22,898 --> 01:03:24,672 What do you mean, "no immediate danger"? 858 01:03:24,733 --> 01:03:27,543 I heard they're losing oxygen. Can they get back? 859 01:03:27,603 --> 01:03:31,243 The LEM's descent rocket engine will be used in aborting the mission... 860 01:03:31,340 --> 01:03:33,513 and getting them safely back to Earth. 861 01:03:33,876 --> 01:03:35,446 Recapping what has happened. 862 01:03:35,544 --> 01:03:38,547 The Apollo 13 astronauts may be in grave danger. 863 01:03:38,614 --> 01:03:40,388 No, don't give me that NASA bullshit! 864 01:03:40,449 --> 01:03:42,895 I want to know what's happening with my husband! 865 01:03:42,951 --> 01:03:45,021 We want to switch control to the Aquarius now. 866 01:03:45,087 --> 01:03:46,793 - Roger that. - Houston, wait! 867 01:03:46,889 --> 01:03:49,631 Yeu're down to about five minutes now. 868 01:03:49,925 --> 01:03:54,897 Be aware our RCS isn't up here yet.

We'll get somebody to look at that. 920 01:07:43,492 --> 01:07:45,835 How do we get our people home? 921 01:07:48,463 --> 01:07:49,600 They are here. 922 01:07:49,698 --> 01:07:52,542 - Do we turn them around, direct abort? - Yes! 923 01:07:56,304 --> 01:07:59,341 No, sir! We get them on a free-return trajectory. 924 01:07:59,441 --> 01:08:02,251 It's the option with the fewest question marks for safety. 925 01:08:02,344 --> 01:08:05,450 I agree. We use the moon's gravity to slingshot them around. 926 01:08:05,547 --> 01:08:09,222 No, the LEM will not support three guys for that amount of time. 927 01:08:09,284 --> 01:08:13,926 I think we've got to do a direct abort. We do an about-face, bring the guys right home. 928 01:08:14,022 --> 01:08:15,626 Get them back soon. Absolutely. 929 01:08:15,724 --> 01:08:18,204 We don't even know if the Odyssey's engine's working. 930 01:08:18,260 --> 01:08:21,900 - If there's been serious damage to the craft... - They blow up and they die! 931 01:08:21,963 --> 01:08:24,409 That is not the argument! We're talking about time! 932 01:08:24,466 --> 01:08:27,606 - Not whether these guys... - I'm not gonna sugarcoat this for you! 933 01:08:27,703 --> 01:08:30,149 Okay, hold it. Let's hold it down. 934 01:08:30,238 --> 01:08:33,651 The only engine we've got with enough power for a direct abort... 935 01:08:33,742 --> 01:08:35,812 is the SPS on the service module. 936 01:08:35,911 --> 01:08:38,482 It could have been damaged in an explosion... 937 01:08:38,580 --> 01:08:40,218 so let's consider that engine dead. 938 01:08:40,282 --> 01:08:42,386 We light it up, could blow the whole works. 939 01:08:42,451 --> 01:08:44,988 Just too risky. We're not gonna take that chance. 940 01:08:45,087 --> 01:08:47,794 The only thing the command module's good for is re-entry. 941 01:08:47,889 --> 01:08:51,598 That leaves us with the LEM, which means free-return trajectory. 942 01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:54,105 Once we get the guys around the moon... 943 01:08:54,162 --> 01:08:56,471 we'll fire up the LEM engine, make a long burn... 944 01:08:56,565 --> 01:08:59,307 pick up some speed, and get them home as quick as we can. 945 01:08:59,401 --> 01:09:03,144 Gene, I'm wondering what the Grumman guys think about this. 946 01:09:03,205 --> 01:09:07,517 We can't make any guarantees. We designed the LEM to land on the moon... 947 01:09:07,576 --> 01:09:10,056 not fire the engine for course corrections. 948 01:09:10,145 --> 01:09:14,024 Well, unfortunately, we're not landing on the moon, are we? 949 01:09:15,584 --> 01:09:19,327 I don't care what anything was designed to do. I care about what it can do. 950 01:09:19,855 --> 01:09:22,767 So let's get to work. Let's lay it out, okay? 951 01:09:23,725 --> 01:09:27,001 Capcom, Flight, he says it will be ready in time. 952 01:09:27,195 --> 01:09:31,199 After this burn, we've got to build time in the flight plan for them to get sleep. 953 01:09:31,266 --> 01:09:34,076 - Run it by the FAO. - I've run it by the FAO. 954 01:09:34,169 --> 01:09:36,342 Do we know how long we're gonna fire that burn? 955 01:09:36,404 --> 01:09:40,010 - He wanted a quote from a flight director. - Who wanted a quote? 956 01:09:40,075 --> 01:09:41,781 - The President. - The President? 957 01:09:41,877 --> 01:09:43,754 Nixon. He wants our odds. 958 01:09:45,247 --> 01:09:47,090 We are not losing the crew. 959 01:09:47,382 --> 01:09:50,852 Gene, I gotta give him odds. Five to one against? Three to one? 960 01:09:50,919 --> 01:09:54,298 - I don't think they're that good. - We are not losing those men. 961 01:09:59,461 --> 01:10:01,634 How long are they gonna have to burn the engine PC + 2? 962 01:10:03,098 --> 01:10:05,373 Look, tell him three to one. 963 01:10:08,303 --> 01:10:11,215 Expect loss of signal in less than one minute. 964 01:10:11,273 --> 01:10:14,447 When we pick you back up we will have your PC + 2 burn data. 965 01:10:14,509 --> 01:10:19,116 Okay. Roger that, Houston. We'll hear from you again at acquisition of signal. 966 01:10:21,950 --> 01:10:23,520 You wanna look? 967 01:10:25,520 --> 01:10:27,260 Oh, look at that. 968 01:10:35,630 --> 01:10:38,940 Aquarius, that's 30 seconds until loss of signal. 969 01:10:42,838 --> 01:10:45,181 Mare Tranquillitatis. 970 01:10:47,275 --> 01:10:49,687 Neil and Buzz's old neighborhood. 971 01:10:50,545 --> 01:10:52,718 Coming up on Mount Marilyn. 972 01:10:52,881 --> 01:10:55,452 Jim, you gotta take a look at this. 973 01:10:57,052 --> 01:10:58,553 I've seen it. 974 01:11:04,793 --> 01:11:06,567 Aquarius, this is Houston. 975 01:11:06,628 --> 01:11:10,234 We expect loss of signal in approximately ten seconds. 976 01:11:11,433 --> 01:11:14,413 So long, Earth. Catch you on the flip side. 977 01:11:21,443 --> 01:11:23,923 When you go into the shadow of the moon... 978 01:11:23,979 --> 01:11:26,425 and the moon is between you and the sun... 979 01:11:26,915 --> 01:11:30,555 you see stars that are more brilliant than anything you've ever seen... 980 01:11:30,619 --> 01:11:32,689 on the clearest nights here on Earth. 981 01:11:32,754 --> 01:11:37,703 And then you pass into the lunar sunrise over the lunar surtace. 982 01:11:38,927 --> 01:11:43,102 It must be an awe-inspiring sight. I can't wait to see it myself. 983 01:11:43,531 --> 01:11:48,070 The problem now is not so much a question of adequate oxygen supply... 984 01:11:48,136 --> 01:11:50,275 but it is the rate of consumption of water... 985 01:11:50,405 --> 01:11:53,476 which is vitally needed for the cooling operations... 986 01:11:53,575 --> 01:11:55,645 to maintain the electronic systems... 987 01:12:34,316 --> 01:12:36,193 Look, it's Fra Mauro. 988 01:12:38,353 --> 01:12:40,526 I can see our landing site. 989 01:12:44,225 --> 01:12:46,671 Look at the Tsiolkovsky Crater. 990 01:12:49,197 --> 01:12:52,109 I can't believe how bright the ejecta blanket is. 991 01:12:52,200 --> 01:12:55,078 It's like snow.

How about it? 1443 01:43:32,572 --> 01:43:35,052 - Guess you can keep your job. - You betcha. 1444 01:43:35,108 --> 01:43:39,056 13, stand by. We're evaluating our power usage on that burn. 1445 01:43:40,914 --> 01:43:43,257 Let's hope we don't have to do that again. 1446 01:43:57,163 --> 01:44:01,406 Gentlemen, you've given our guys enough to survive till re-entry. 1447 01:44:02,702 --> 01:44:04,078 Well done. 1448 01:44:07,507 --> 01:44:10,852 Now we gotta get them in, so tell me about the power-up procedures. 1449 01:44:10,910 --> 01:44:13,390 Here's the order of what I want to do. 1450 01:44:13,446 --> 01:44:17,291 I want to power up guidance, ECS, communications... 1451 01:44:18,117 --> 01:44:22,224 warm up the pyros for the parachutes and the command module thrusters. 1452 01:44:22,455 --> 01:44:25,197 The thrusters will put you over budget on amps. 1453 01:44:25,358 --> 01:44:29,362 They've been sitting at 200 below for four days. They gotta be heated. 1454 01:44:29,429 --> 01:44:31,431 Fine. Then trade off the parachutes. 1455 01:44:31,865 --> 01:44:35,778 - If the chutes don't open, what's the point? - You're telling me what you need. 1456 01:44:35,869 --> 01:44:39,646 I'm telling you what we have to work with. I'm not making this stuff up. 1457 01:44:39,739 --> 01:44:41,809 They're going to need all these systems. 1458 01:44:41,908 --> 01:44:45,412 We do not have the power, Ken. We just don't have it. 1459 01:44:49,082 --> 01:44:52,825 I'll reorganize the sequencing again and find more power. 1460 01:44:53,319 --> 01:44:56,299 Let's start from scratch. Clear the board. 1461 01:44:59,592 --> 01:45:01,969 I don't know where the hell we'll find it. 1462 01:45:02,829 --> 01:45:06,367 Apollo 13 commander Jim Lovell has more time in space... 1463 01:45:06,466 --> 01:45:09,344 almost 24 days already, than any other man... 1464 01:45:09,402 --> 01:45:12,041 and I asked him recently if he ever was scared. 1465 01:45:12,138 --> 01:45:15,312 I've had an engine flame out a few times in an aircraft... 1466 01:45:15,375 --> 01:45:20,290 and was curious as to whether it was going to light up again, things of that nature... 1467 01:45:20,346 --> 01:45:22,450 but they seem to work out. 1468 01:45:23,149 --> 01:45:24,355 Is there an instance... 1469 01:45:24,417 --> 01:45:27,659 in an airplane emergency when you can recall fear? 1470 01:45:29,022 --> 01:45:31,900 Well, I remember this one time... 1471 01:45:31,991 --> 01:45:35,802 in a Banshee at night in combat conditions, so the carrier has no lights. 1472 01:45:35,862 --> 01:45:38,501 It wes the Shangri-la. We were in the Sea of Japan. 1473 01:45:38,564 --> 01:45:42,204 My radar had jammed, and my homing signal was gone... 1474 01:45:42,302 --> 01:45:45,681 because somebody in Japan was using the same frequency... 1475 01:45:46,072 --> 01:45:49,314 and so it was leading me away from where I was supposed to be. 1476 01:45:49,742 --> 01:45:54,657 I'm looking down at a big, black ocean, so I flip on my map light. 1477 01:45:55,081 --> 01:45:58,756 Then, suddenly, zap! Everything shorts out right there in my cockpit. 1478 01:45:58,851 --> 01:46:03,129 All my instruments and lights are gone, I can't even tell what my altitude is. 1479 01:46:03,923 --> 01:46:08,496 I know I'm running out of fuel, so I'm thinking about ditching in the ocean. 1480 01:46:09,062 --> 01:46:12,168 I look down there, and then in the darkness... 1481 01:46:12,265 --> 01:46:14,904 there's this green trail. 1482 01:46:15,068 --> 01:46:19,482 It's like a long carpet that's just laid out beneath me. It was the algae! 1483 01:46:20,640 --> 01:46:24,679 It was that phosphorescent stuff that gets churned up in the wake of a big ship. 1484 01:46:24,777 --> 01:46:27,018 It was just leading me home. 1485 01:46:27,313 --> 01:46:30,419 And if my cockpit lights hadn't shorted out... 1486 01:46:30,483 --> 01:46:32,792 there's no way I'd have ever been able to see that. 1487 01:46:32,852 --> 01:46:35,423 So, you never know... 1488 01:46:35,521 --> 01:46:38,968 what events are going to transpire to get you home. 1489 01:46:43,763 --> 01:46:47,676 Spacecraft commander Jim Lovell, no stranger to emergency is he. 1490 01:46:58,845 --> 01:47:01,552 - How's it going, Fred? - I'm okay. 1491 01:47:03,950 --> 01:47:05,690 What the hell was that? 1492 01:47:06,586 --> 01:47:08,895 Let's hope it was just the burst disk. 1493 01:47:08,955 --> 01:47:13,028 - Can you confirm a burst helium disk? - Wo confirm that. 1494 01:47:13,192 --> 01:47:16,867 Houston, is that going to affect our entry angle at all? 1495 01:47:17,430 --> 01:47:20,706 Negative. Your entry angle is holding at 6.24, Aquarius. 1496 01:47:21,434 --> 01:47:22,810 Houston... 1497 01:47:24,804 --> 01:47:28,911 we sure could use the re-entry procedure up here. 1498 01:47:29,809 --> 01:47:31,879 When can we expect that? 1499 01:47:34,247 --> 01:47:36,590 That's coming real soon, Aquarius. 1500 01:47:36,649 --> 01:47:38,253 Houston, we... 1501 01:47:39,218 --> 01:47:42,324 We just can't throw this together at the last minute. 1502 01:47:42,455 --> 01:47:44,832 So, here's what you're gonna do. 1503 01:47:45,124 --> 01:47:48,799 You're gonna get the procedure up to us, whatever it is... 1504 01:47:48,995 --> 01:47:53,136 and we're gonna go over it step by step, so there's no foul-ups. 1505 01:47:54,233 --> 01:47:57,077 I don't have to tell you we're all a little tired up here. 1506 01:47:57,170 --> 01:47:59,946 The world's getting awfully big in the window. 1507 01:48:00,239 --> 01:48:02,651 - Jim, this is Deke. - It's Deke. 1508 01:48:03,076 --> 01:48:05,351 They don't know how to do it. 1509 01:48:05,878 --> 01:48:07,482 Maybe Jack's right. 1510 01:48:09,048 --> 01:48:10,925 Hello, Deke.

We're just over budget on the amperage. 1516 01:48:30,903 --> 01:48:33,246 - By how much? - Three or four amps. 1517 01:48:33,306 --> 01:48:35,445 God damn it, John!
