Commemorating Apollo 13

[eryndil]

40 years ago today, the crew of Apollo 13 were safely returned to Earth after 4 days in a crippled spacecraft. I would like to commemorate the determination, resourcefulness and ingenuity of the three astronauts and all those who worked to bring them home.

/watches the Special Collector's Edition of the movie Apollo 13 (only movie I repurchased in a special edition and probably will get the Blu-Ray version when I get a player)

/watches From the Earth to the Moon

wonder if the special is still running at the Kennedy Space Center

There was a panel on Thursday of Gene Kranz, Ken Mattingly, Fred Haise, and Jim Lovell about Apollo 13.

I was there; it was awesome.

It was recorded and can be found here: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/smithsonian-national-air-and-space-museum
