We are going around the room. We're gonna get you answers. 760 00:54:50,248 --> 00:54:54,001 We keep venting, we're gonna keep hitting the edge of that deadband. 761 00:54:54,085 --> 00:54:56,420 Take a look at the O2 on number one. 762 00:55:01,133 --> 00:55:04,136 200 pounds and falling. 763 00:55:04,220 --> 00:55:06,347 O2 tank two still zero. 764 00:55:06,430 --> 00:55:10,017 - Tank one: 218 psi and falling. - Is that what you're gettin'? Confirm. 765 00:55:10,101 --> 00:55:14,522 - We're seeing the same, 13. - Can we review our status, Sy? 766 00:55:14,605 --> 00:55:19,277 Let's look at this thing from a standpoint of status. 767 00:55:20,987 --> 00:55:25,658 What have we got on the spacecraft that's good? 768 00:55:27,201 --> 00:55:30,496 I'll get back to you, Gene. 769 00:55:32,623 --> 00:55:35,001 We're not gonna have power much longer. 770 00:55:35,042 --> 00:55:38,379 The ship's bleedin' to death. 771 00:55:45,219 --> 00:55:48,014 - Flight? - Yeah. Go, EECOM. 772 00:55:48,055 --> 00:55:52,143 Flight, I recommend we shut down the reactant valves of the fuel cells. 773 00:55:53,603 --> 00:55:57,023 What the hell good is that gonna do? 774 00:55:57,106 --> 00:55:59,025 If that's where the leak is, we can isolate it. 775 00:55:59,108 --> 00:56:01,340 We can isolate it there, save what's left in the tanks, 776 00:56:01,364 --> 00:56:02,718 and we can run on the good cell. 777 00:56:02,778 --> 00:56:04,697 You close 'em, you can't open 'em again. 778 00:56:04,780 --> 00:56:07,366 You can't land on the moon with one healthy fuel cell. 779 00:56:07,408 --> 00:56:10,703 Gene, the Odyssey is dying. 780 00:56:10,745 --> 00:56:13,581 From my chair here, this is the last option. 781 00:56:21,589 --> 00:56:25,218 Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, OK, Sy. 782 00:56:38,231 --> 00:56:41,609 CAPCOM, let's have them close the reactant valves. 783 00:56:41,692 --> 00:56:44,654 Thirteen, this is Houston. 784 00:56:44,737 --> 00:56:50,368 We want you to close react valves on cells one and three. Do you copy? 785 00:56:50,409 --> 00:56:54,664 Are you saying you want the whole smash? 786 00:56:54,747 --> 00:56:58,835 Closing down the react valves for fuel cells shut down? 787 00:56:58,918 --> 00:57:02,588 Shutting down the fuel cells? Did I hear you right? 788 00:57:02,672 --> 00:57:05,508 Yeah, they heard me right. 789 00:57:05,591 --> 00:57:09,303 Tell them we think that's the only way they can stop the leak. 790 00:57:09,387 --> 00:57:14,016 Yeah, Jim. We think that closing the react valves may stop the leak. 791 00:57:24,277 --> 00:57:27,530 - Did he copy that? - Do you copy, Jim? 792 00:57:29,031 --> 00:57:31,617 Yes, Houston, we copy. 793 00:57:36,706 --> 00:57:40,960 We just lost the moon. 794 00:57:48,384 --> 00:57:50,553 OK, Freddo, shut those down. 795 00:57:52,555 --> 00:57:54,473 Let's see what this does. 796 00:58:03,065 --> 00:58:05,318 If this doesn't work... 797 00:58:05,401 --> 00:58:08,196 we're not gonna have enough power left to get home. 798 00:58:26,214 --> 00:58:28,841 - Shit! - Goddamn it! 799 00:58:28,883 --> 00:58:32,136 Houston, O2 on one is still falling. 800 00:58:34,138 --> 00:58:37,475 Freddo, how long does it take to power up the LEM? 801 00:58:37,517 --> 00:58:39,685 Three hours by the checklist. 802 00:58:39,727 --> 00:58:42,230 We don't have that much time. 803 00:58:42,313 --> 00:58:44,357 Shit! 804 00:58:44,440 --> 00:58:49,487 OK, now, Jack, before the batteries completely die on us in here... 805 00:58:49,529 --> 00:58:54,492 let's power down everything so we can save as much as we can for reentry. 806 00:58:54,534 --> 00:58:58,162 Fifteen minutes of oxygen and that's it. The command module will be dead. 807 00:58:58,204 --> 00:59:01,332 OK. OK, guys, listen up. Here's the drill. 808 00:59:01,374 --> 00:59:03,835 We're moving the astronauts over to the LEM. 809 00:59:03,876 --> 00:59:05,837 We've got to get some oxygen up there. 810 00:59:05,878 --> 00:59:09,340 TELMU, Control, I want emergency power procedure; essential hardware only. 811 00:59:09,382 --> 00:59:13,669 GNC, EECOM, we're gonna be shutting down the command module at the same time. 812 00:59:13,670 --> 00:59:16,347 We'll have to transfer the guidance system from one computer to the other... 813 00:59:16,389 --> 00:59:19,267 so I want those numbers up and ready when our guys are in position. 814 00:59:19,350 --> 00:59:21,790 We've gotta transfer all control data over the LEM computer... 815 00:59:21,813 --> 00:59:23,688 before the command module dies. 816 00:59:23,729 --> 00:59:25,731 The lunar module just became a lifeboat. 817 00:59:26,190 --> 00:59:30,194 Odyssey, this is Houston. We need you to power down immediately. 818 00:59:30,236 --> 00:59:32,429 You're gonna have to power up the LEM at the same time, 819 00:59:32,453 --> 00:59:33,956 so you better get somebody over there. 820 00:59:33,979 --> 00:59:36,534 We already have Freddo in the LEM, Houston. 821 00:59:36,576 --> 00:59:39,036 We've got serious time pressure. 822 00:59:39,078 --> 00:59:41,539 You've got to get the guidance program transferred, 823 00:59:41,581 --> 00:59:44,541 and you've got to do it before you're out of power in the command module... 824 00:59:44,564 --> 00:59:46,711 or you're not gonna be able to navigate up there. 825 00:59:46,752 --> 00:59:48,754 How much time? Can you give me a number? 826 00:59:48,838 --> 00:59:52,925 Well, we're looking at less than 15 minutes of life support in the Odyssey. 827 00:59:55,178 --> 01:00:00,892 We've got 15 minutes, Freddo. It's worse than I thought. 828 01:00:00,933 --> 01:00:04,979 Houston, be aware I've moved from the command module into the LEM. 829 01:00:07,064 --> 01:00:10,568 If Jack can't get that guidance computer data transferred before they go dead... 830 01:00:10,610 --> 01:00:12,472 They won't even know which way they're pointed. 831 01:00:12,496 --> 01:00:13,170 That's right. 832 01:00:13,193 --> 01:00:15,904 - That's a bad way to fly. - I'll be in 210 if you need me. 833 01:00:17,909 --> 01:00:21,787 Houston, this is Thirteen. Are you back with me now? 834 01:00:21,829 --> 01:00:26,584 Aquarius, this is Houston. You now have about 12 minutes to power up. 835 01:00:26,626 --> 01:00:30,838 I can't see any stars. Man, there's a lot of debris floatin' around out there. 836 01:00:30,922 --> 01:00:35,009 OK, Houston, I have completed the steps on page 15. 837 01:00:35,092 --> 01:00:37,011 Now I'm ready to power down the computer. 838 01:00:37,094 --> 01:00:40,473 I'm gonna need your gimbal angles, Jack... 839 01:00:40,556 --> 01:00:44,811 - before you shut down the computer! - OK, Jim. 840 01:00:44,852 --> 01:00:47,021 I need this back to me before they power down. 841 01:00:47,104 --> 01:00:49,106 All right, all right.

O2 fans, tank two off. 846 01:01:05,790 --> 01:01:09,710 OK, Houston, check me. I have completed these gimbal conversions... 847 01:01:09,794 --> 01:01:13,381 but I need a double check of the arithmetic. 848 01:01:13,464 --> 01:01:17,844 - Yeah, you can go, Jim. - The roll CAL angle is minus two. 849 01:01:17,885 --> 01:01:21,389 Lunar module roll is 355.57. 850 01:01:21,472 --> 01:01:27,311 Pitch: 1678... Correction. Pitch: 167.78. 851 01:01:27,353 --> 01:01:32,358 - Yaw is 351.87. - Stand by. We're checking it. 852 01:01:32,400 --> 01:01:34,861 We've got negative visibility in our star field, 853 01:01:34,902 --> 01:01:40,032 and if this paperwork isn't right, who knows where we'll end up out here? 854 01:01:46,247 --> 01:01:48,207 Looks good, Flight. 855 01:01:48,249 --> 01:01:50,334 - It's all right. - Good here. 856 01:01:50,376 --> 01:01:52,837 - He's good, Andy. - We'll go on those numbers. 857 01:01:52,879 --> 01:01:54,881 - You're good. - Log them in, Freddo. 858 01:01:54,922 --> 01:01:57,383 Jack, turn off the IMU. Switch to SCS. 859 01:01:57,425 --> 01:01:59,886 Stand by to turn off the thrusters. Over. 860 01:02:00,344 --> 01:02:03,556 It's a great day in New York. It's girl watchers' weather. 861 01:02:03,639 --> 01:02:06,359 I like those ingenious girl watchers who put on Con Edison helmets... 862 01:02:06,382 --> 01:02:10,354 and dig trenches in the street to get a better view. 863 01:02:10,438 --> 01:02:12,732 But I... Hey, speaking of girl watching, 864 01:02:12,773 --> 01:02:16,777 did you know that our first bachelor astronaut is on his way to the moon? 865 01:02:16,861 --> 01:02:18,905 Is it Swigert? Yeah, first bachelor. 866 01:02:18,946 --> 01:02:23,242 He's the kind, they say, has a girl in every port. He has that reputation. 867 01:02:23,284 --> 01:02:27,663 He's sort of foolishly optimistic, taking nylons, Hershey bars to the moon. 868 01:02:30,500 --> 01:02:32,418 Did you read that three million... 869 01:02:32,502 --> 01:02:35,755 What do you say? Less viewers or fewer viewers? 870 01:02:35,796 --> 01:02:40,843 Three million fewer viewers, watched the space shot than did the last one. 871 01:02:40,927 --> 01:02:43,679 I... Colonel Borman is h... 872 01:02:43,763 --> 01:02:46,265 An ABC New... 873 01:02:46,349 --> 01:02:50,019 Here is ABC science editor Jules Bergman. 874 01:02:50,102 --> 01:02:53,689 The Apollo 13 spacecraft has lost all electrical power, 875 01:02:53,773 --> 01:02:56,359 and astronauts Jim Lovell, Fred Haise and Jack Swigert... 876 01:02:56,442 --> 01:02:58,903 are making their way through the tunnel to the lunar module, 877 01:02:58,945 --> 01:03:00,530 using it as a lifeboat, 878 01:03:00,613 --> 01:03:03,699 so they'll have electrical power for their radios on the command module. 879 01:03:03,783 --> 01:03:07,078 Apollo 13 is apparently also losing breathing oxygen... 880 01:03:07,119 --> 01:03:10,248 Slow down. An electrical failure. What exactly does that mean? 881 01:03:10,289 --> 01:03:13,292 The emergency has ruled out any chance of a lunar landing... 882 01:03:13,376 --> 01:03:16,045 and could endanger the lives of the astronauts themselves... 883 01:03:16,128 --> 01:03:20,216 if the LEM oxygen supply, plus whatever is left of the command module's oxygen, 884 01:03:20,299 --> 01:03:22,969 can't last them until they can get back to Earth. 885 01:03:23,052 --> 01:03:25,054 What do you mean there's no immediate danger? 886 01:03:25,137 --> 01:03:27,598 I just heard they're losing oxygen. Can they get back? 887 01:03:27,640 --> 01:03:31,435 The LEM's descent rocket engine will be used in aborting the mission... 888 01:03:31,477 --> 01:03:33,646 and getting the astronauts safely back to Earth. 889 01:03:33,729 --> 01:03:38,484 Recapping what has happened: The Apollo 13 astronauts may be in grave danger. 890 01:03:38,526 --> 01:03:40,486 No, don't give me that NASA bullshit! 891 01:03:40,528 --> 01:03:42,697 I want to know what's happening with my husband! 892 01:03:42,947 --> 01:03:45,116 We want to switch control to the Aquarius now. 893 01:03:45,158 --> 01:03:46,868 - Roger that. - Houston, wait! 894 01:03:46,951 --> 01:03:49,829 You're down to about five minutes now, Jack. 895 01:03:49,912 --> 01:03:55,168 Be aware our RCS isn't up here yet. We have no attitude control on Aquarius. 896 01:03:55,209 --> 01:03:58,504 They don't have control? Did we miss a step here? 897 01:03:58,588 --> 01:04:01,507 - Control, what the hell happened? - What? I don't know. 898 01:04:06,095 --> 01:04:10,475 We're out of whack. I'm trying to pitch down, but we're yawing to the left. 899 01:04:10,516 --> 01:04:12,477 Why can't I null this out? 900 01:04:12,518 --> 01:04:15,354 She wasn't designed to fly attached like this. 901 01:04:15,396 --> 01:04:19,233 It's like flying with a dead elephant on our back. 902 01:04:19,317 --> 01:04:22,195 Flight, Guidance. We're getting awfully close to center here. 903 01:04:22,278 --> 01:04:26,032 Watch that middle gimbal. We don't want you tumbling off into space. 904 01:04:26,073 --> 01:04:28,826 Freddo, inform Houston I'm well aware of the goddamn gimbals! 905 01:04:28,868 --> 01:04:30,870 Roger that, Houston. 906 01:04:30,912 --> 01:04:32,872 I don't need to hear the obvious. 907 01:04:32,914 --> 01:04:34,820 I've got the frappin' eight-ball in front of me! 908 01:04:34,844 --> 01:04:35,754 Andy, we're on VOX. 909 01:04:35,777 --> 01:04:38,002 Aquarius, this is Houston. We've got you both on VOX. 910 01:04:38,044 --> 01:04:40,588 You want what? You want us to go to VOX? 911 01:04:40,671 --> 01:04:43,758 You have a hot mike.

Jeffrey's calling for you. 917 01:04:59,357 --> 01:05:03,361 The terseness of Kraft and the grim lines of Jim McDivitt. 918 01:05:03,402 --> 01:05:08,115 This has been a very close call. We're not out of the woods yet. 919 01:05:11,911 --> 01:05:14,372 Jeffrey? 920 01:05:14,413 --> 01:05:17,792 Why are so many people here? 921 01:05:17,875 --> 01:05:23,714 Well, you know... your dad's flying his mission. 922 01:05:25,758 --> 01:05:28,886 He said he was going to get me a moon rock. 923 01:05:28,928 --> 01:05:31,806 Right. 924 01:05:31,889 --> 01:05:35,309 Well... 925 01:05:35,393 --> 01:05:40,648 something broke on your daddy's spaceship, 926 01:05:40,731 --> 01:05:46,320 and he's gonna have to turn around before he even gets to the moon. 927 01:05:49,240 --> 01:05:52,827 Was it the door? 928 01:05:53,077 --> 01:05:55,830 Thirteen, Houston. We still show that venting pushing you around. 929 01:05:55,913 --> 01:05:58,958 - How you doing? - Houston, Aquarius. 930 01:05:59,041 --> 01:06:03,963 We've had to learn how to fly all over again, but we are doing better now. 931 01:06:04,005 --> 01:06:08,092 - Roger that, Aquarius. - Have him close it out. 932 01:06:08,134 --> 01:06:11,679 Jack, we can close out your procedure now. 933 01:06:11,762 --> 01:06:16,851 Do we know for sure that we can power this thing back up? 934 01:06:16,934 --> 01:06:19,770 It's gonna get awfully cold in here. 935 01:06:19,812 --> 01:06:24,692 Copy that, Jack. We'll just have to deal with that later. 936 01:06:27,570 --> 01:06:28,988 - Computer off. - We're clear. 937 01:06:29,071 --> 01:06:31,115 We're going to the LEM. 938 01:06:32,867 --> 01:06:36,829 We confirm shutdown, Jack. Lunar module now in control. 939 01:06:41,334 --> 01:06:46,839 Roger that, Houston. This is Odyssey signing off. 940 01:07:02,605 --> 01:07:05,733 Freddo, we're gonna have to execute some sort of burn. 941 01:07:05,817 --> 01:07:08,361 It's just a matter of when. 942 01:07:11,531 --> 01:07:15,493 - Did they shut us all down in there? - Yeah. 943 01:07:15,535 --> 01:07:18,913 Didn't think we'd be back in here so soon. 944 01:07:18,996 --> 01:07:23,084 Houston, how far off course do you project we are? 945 01:07:23,167 --> 01:07:25,086 Over. 946 01:07:27,547 --> 01:07:29,465 OK, people, listen up! 947 01:07:29,549 --> 01:07:33,427 Gentlemen, I want you all to forget the flight plan. 948 01:07:33,511 --> 01:07:37,473 From this moment on, we are improvising a new mission. 949 01:07:37,557 --> 01:07:41,435 Sorry about that. 950 01:07:41,519 --> 01:07:44,039 - We'll get somebody to look at that. - Find a bulb around here. 951 01:07:44,062 --> 01:07:47,483 How do we get our people home? 952 01:07:47,567 --> 01:07:49,485 They are here. 953 01:07:49,569 --> 01:07:51,569 Do we turn 'em around, straight back, direct abort? 954 01:07:51,592 --> 01:07:52,011 Yes! 955 01:07:52,071 --> 01:07:54,031 - Gene... - I can't guarantee the burn yet. 956 01:07:54,073 --> 01:07:57,326 No, sir, no, sir, no, sir! 957 01:07:57,410 --> 01:07:59,495 We get them on a free-return trajectory. 958 01:07:59,579 --> 01:08:02,123 It's the option with the fewest question marks for safety. 959 01:08:02,206 --> 01:08:06,419 I agree with Jerry. We use the moon's gravity to slingshot them around. 960 01:08:06,462 --> 01:08:08,845 The LEM will not support three guys for that amount of time. 961 01:08:08,869 --> 01:08:09,822 It barely holds two. 962 01:08:09,845 --> 01:08:13,718 We've got to do a direct abort. We do an about-face, bring the guys right home. 963 01:08:13,759 --> 01:08:15,928 Get 'em back soon. Absolutely. 964 01:08:15,970 --> 01:08:18,050 We don't even know if the Odyssey's engine's working. 965 01:08:18,134 --> 01:08:20,174 If there's been serious damage to this spacecraft... 966 01:08:20,197 --> 01:08:21,934 They blow up and they die! 967 01:08:21,978 --> 01:08:24,040 That is not the argument! We are talking about time! 968 01:08:24,064 --> 01:08:24,818 Jesus! Come on! 969 01:08:24,841 --> 01:08:27,231 I'm not gonna sugarcoat this for you! 970 01:08:27,273 --> 01:08:30,151 OK, hold it. Let's hold it down. 971 01:08:30,234 --> 01:08:33,446 Let's hold it down. The only engine with enough power for a direct abort... 972 01:08:33,529 --> 01:08:35,948 is the SPS on the service module. 973 01:08:35,950 --> 01:08:38,830 From what Lovell has told us, it could have been damaged in an explosion, 974 01:08:38,853 --> 01:08:40,286 so let's consider that engine dead. 975 01:08:40,369 --> 01:08:42,369 We light that thing up, could blow the whole works. 976 01:08:42,392 --> 01:08:44,916 It's just too risky. We're not gonna take that chance. 977 01:08:44,957 --> 01:08:47,437 About the only thing the command module is good for is reentry. 978 01:08:47,460 --> 01:08:51,172 That leaves us with the LEM, which means free-return trajectory. 979 01:08:51,255 --> 01:08:54,050 Once we get the guys around the moon, 980 01:08:54,133 --> 01:08:56,469 we'll fire up the LEM engine, make a long burn, 981 01:08:56,552 --> 01:08:59,013 pick up some speed and get 'em home as quick as we can. 982 01:08:59,096 --> 01:09:02,809 Gene, I'm wondering what the Grumman guys think about this. 983 01:09:02,892 --> 01:09:07,271 We can't make any guarantees. We designed the LEM to land on the moon, 984 01:09:07,313 --> 01:09:09,649 not fire the engine out there for course corrections. 985 01:09:09,732 --> 01:09:13,778 Well, unfortunately, we're not landing on the moon, are we? 986 01:09:13,820 --> 01:09:18,866 I don't care what anything was designed to do. I care about what it can do. 987 01:09:19,408 --> 01:09:23,162 Let's get to work. Let's lay it out, OK? 988 01:09:23,913 --> 01:09:26,833 CAPCOM. Flight, he says it will be ready in time. 989 01:09:26,916 --> 01:09:31,003 After this burn, we've got to build some time in the flight plan for sleep. 990 01:09:31,087 --> 01:09:34,507 - Run it by the FAO. - I've run it by the FAO. 991 01:09:34,590 --> 01:09:36,509 Do we know how long we're gonna fire that burn? 992 01:09:36,592 --> 01:09:38,857 He specifically wanted a quote from a flight director. 993 01:09:38,881 --> 01:09:39,881 Who wanted a quote? 994 01:09:39,929 --> 01:09:42,014 - The President. - The President? 995 01:09:42,098 --> 01:09:44,684 Nixon. He wants odds. 996 01:09:44,767 --> 01:09:47,019 We are not losing the crew. 997 01:09:47,103 --> 01:09:50,022 I gotta give him odds. Five to one against? 998 01:09:50,106 --> 01:09:52,066 - Three to one? - I don't think they're that good. 999 01:09:52,108 --> 01:09:55,153 We are not losing those men! 1000 01:09:58,823 --> 01:10:02,034 How long are they gonna have to burn the engine? 1001 01:10:02,118 --> 01:10:05,621 Look, tell him... three to one. 1002 01:10:08,124 --> 01:10:11,043 Expect loss of signal in less than one minute. 1003 01:10:11,127 --> 01:10:14,714 When we pick you back up we will have your PC plus two burn data. 1004 01:10:14,797 --> 01:10:19,719 Roger that, Houston. We'll hear from you again at acquisition of signal. 1005 01:10:21,471 --> 01:10:23,389 You wanna look? 1006 01:10:24,724 --> 01:10:29,020 Look at that. 1007 01:10:29,061 --> 01:10:31,022 Wow. 1008 01:10:34,984 --> 01:10:40,364 Aquarius, that's 30 seconds until loss of signal. 1009 01:10:42,742 --> 01:10:46,746 Mare Tranquillitatis. 1010 01:10:46,787 --> 01:10:50,041 Neil and Buzz's old neighborhood. 1011 01:10:50,082 --> 01:10:52,376 Comin' up on Mount Marilyn. 1012 01:10:52,418 --> 01:10:56,380 Jim, you gotta take a look at this. 1013 01:10:56,422 --> 01:10:58,758 I've seen it. 1014 01:11:04,263 --> 01:11:06,224 Aquarius, this is Houston. 1015 01:11:06,265 --> 01:11:11,229 We expect loss of signal in approximately ten seconds. 1016 01:11:11,270 --> 01:11:14,440 So long, Earth. Catch you on the flip side. 1017 01:11:21,280 --> 01:11:24,575 When you go into the shadow of the moon... 1018 01:11:24,617 --> 01:11:27,078 and the moon is between you and the sun, 1019 01:11:27,119 --> 01:11:30,832 you see stars that are more brilliant than anything you've ever seen... 1020 01:11:30,915 --> 01:11:33,000 on the clearest nights here on Earth. 1021 01:11:33,084 --> 01:11:38,673 And then you pass into the lunar sunrise over the lunar surface. 1022 01:11:38,756 --> 01:11:41,008 It must be an awe-inspiring sight. 1023 01:11:41,092 --> 01:11:43,803 I can't wait to see it myself. 1024 01:11:43,886 --> 01:11:48,182 The problem now is not so much a question of an adequate oxygen supply, 1025 01:11:48,266 --> 01:11:50,268 but it is the rate of consumption of water, 1026 01:11:50,309 --> 01:11:53,521 which is vitally needed for the cooling operations... 1027 01:11:53,604 --> 01:11:56,065 to maintain the electronic systems and so forth. 1028 01:12:34,061 --> 01:12:37,356 Look, it's Fra Mauro. 1029 01:12:37,398 --> 01:12:40,151 I can see our landing site. 1030 01:12:41,903 --> 01:12:43,905 Wow. 1031 01:12:43,988 --> 01:12:48,242 Look at the Tsiolkovskii crater. 1032 01:12:48,326 --> 01:12:52,705 I can't believe how bright the ejecta blanket is. 1033 01:12:52,747 --> 01:12:56,375 It's like snow.
