Apollo 12 art robert watts. A real-time journey through the Apollo 13 mission This website replays the Apollo 13 mission as it happened, 50 years ago. It consists entirely of historical material, all timed to Ground Elapsed Time--the master mission clock. Footage of Mission Control, film shot by the astronauts, and television broadcasts transmitted from space have been painstakingly placed to the very moments they were shot during the mission, as has every photograph taken, and every word spoken. This project includes newly digitized and restored mission control audio. The last tapes of these recordings were discovered in the National Archives fall of 2019 and were digitized in February, 2020 and contain the time surrounding the onboard explosion. These recordings haven't been heard since the accident investigation in 1970. Upon starting the application, select whether to begin one minute before launch, or click "Now" to drop in exactly 50 years ago, to-the-second during the mission anniversary. Navigate to any moment of the mission using the time navigator at the top of the screen. The top bar is the entire mission with two bars below it providing magnification. Clicking transcript items, photos, commentary items, or guided tour moments also jumps the mission time to those events. Main mission audio consists of space-to-ground (left ear), capcom loop (right ear), and on-board recorder (center, when available). Selecting a Mission Control audio channel mutes the main audio, opens the Mission Control audio panel, and plays the "live" audio of each selected Mission Control position. Change channels by selecting the seats in Mission Control. Closing the Mission Control audio panel will unmute the main audio and continue mission playback. These 50 channels of Mission Control audio spanning the entire mission have only recently been digitized and restored, and are made publicly available here for the first time. They total over 7, 200 hours in length. Please contact Ben Feist for any inquiries. "I could put my thumb up to a window and completely hide the Earth.

NASAs finest achievement was getting those men back. Me: hey lets just jump into space to end ourselves fast because were doomed either way. As the world waits helplessly, the elite staff of NASA Mission Control in Houston are desperately trying to find ways to bring the crippled ship home. The slightest error will condemn these men to death in the vast vacuum of space. Become a member of Mission Control and let flight Director, Gene Kranz, lead you on your goal to bring these three heroes safely home. In charge of your own computer console, you will have to work together and follow your leader, who lives by the simple belief that “Failure, is not an option. ” Welcome to the world of APOLLO 13: MISSION CONTROL.

Apollo 13 dokument cz. Apollo 13 movie cast. Apollo 13 disaster. I'm surprised at how calm and collective they are in this situation. Apollo 13 in real time. There is a moment early in "Apollo 13" when astronaut Jim Lovell is taking some press on a tour of the Kennedy Space Center, and he brags that they have a computer "that fits in one room and can send out millions of instructions. " And I'm thinking to myself, hell, I'm writing this review on a better computer than the one that got us to the moon. "Apollo 13" inspires many reflections, and one of them is that America's space program was achieved with equipment that would look like tin cans today. Like Lindbergh, who crossed the Atlantic in the first plane he could string together that might make it, we went to the moon the moment we could, with the tools that were at hand. Advertisement Today, with new alloys, engines, fuels, computers and technology, it would be safer and cheaper - but we have lost the will. "Apollo 13" never really states its theme, except perhaps in one sentence of narration at the end, but the whole film is suffused with it: The space program was a really extraordinary thing, something to be proud of, and those who went into space were not just "heroes, " which is a cliché, but brave and resourceful. Those qualities were never demonstrated more dramatically than in the flight of the 13th Apollo mission in April 1970, when an oxygen tank exploded en route to the moon. The three astronauts on board - Jim Lovell, Fred Haise and Jack Swigert - were faced with the possibility of becoming marooned in space. Their oxygen could run out, they could be poisoned by carbon dioxide accumulations, or they could freeze to death. If somehow they were able to return to the Earth's atmosphere, they had to enter at precisely the right angle. Too steep an entry, and they would be incinerated; too shallow, and they would skip off the top of the atmosphere like a stone on a pond, and fly off forever into space. Ron Howard's film of this mission is directed with a single-mindedness and attention to detail that makes it riveting. He doesn't make the mistake of adding cornball little subplots to popularize the material; he knows he has a great story, and he tells it in a docudrama that feels like it was filmed on location in outer space. So convincing are the details, indeed, that I went back to look at "For All Mankind, " the great 1989 documentary directed by ex-astronaut Al Reinert, who co-wrote "Apollo 13. " It was an uncanny experience, like looking at the origins of the current picture. Countless details were exactly the same: the astronauts boarding the spacecraft, the lift-off, the inside of the cabin, the view from space, the chilling sight of their oxygen supply venting into space, even the little tape recorder floating in free-fall, playing country music. All these images are from the documentary, all look almost exactly the same in the movie, and that is why Howard has been at pains to emphasize that every shot in "Apollo 13" is new. No documentary footage was used. The special effects - models, animation, shots where the actors were made weightless by floating inside a descending airplane - have re-created the experience exactly. The astronauts are played by Tom Hanks (Lovell), Bill Paxton (Haise) and Kevin Bacon (Swigert). The pilot originally scheduled for the Apollo 13 mission was Ken Mattingly ( Gary Sinise), who was grounded because he had been exposed to the measles. The key figure at Houston Mission Control is Gene Kranz (Ed Harris). Clean-cut, crew-cut, wearing white collars even in space, the astronauts had been built up in the public mind as supermen, but as Tom Wolfe's book and Phil Kaufman's movie " The Right Stuff " revealed, they were more likely to be hot-shot test pilots (with the exception of John Glenn) than straight arrows. The movie begins with the surprise selection of Lovell's group to crew Apollo 13. We meet members of their families, particularly Marilyn Lovell (Kathleen Quinlan), we follow some of the training, and then the movie follows the ill-fated mission, in space and on the ground. Kranz, the Harris character, chain-smoking Camels, masterminds the ground effort to figure out how (and if) Apollo 13 can ever return. A scheme is dreamed up to shut down power in the space capsule and move the astronauts into the lunar exploratory module, as a sort of temporary lifeboat. The lunar lander will be jettisoned at the last minute, and the main capsule's weakened batteries may have enough power left to allow the crew to return alive. Meanwhile, the problem is to keep them from dying in space. A scrubber to clean carbon dioxide from the capsule's air supply is jerry-built out of materials on board (and you can see a guy holding one just like it in "For All Mankind"). And you begin to realize, as the astronauts swing around the dark side of the moon and head for home, that, given the enormity of the task of returning to Earth, their craft and equipment is only a little more adequate than the rocket sled in which Evil Knievel proposed to hurtle across Snake River Canyon at about the same time. Ron Howard has become a director who specializes in stories involving large groups of characters: "Cocoon, " " Parenthood, " " Backdraft, " " The Paper. " Those were all films that paid attention to the individual human stories involved; they were a triumph of construction, indeed, in keeping many stories afloat and interesting. With "Apollo 13, " he correctly decides that the story is in the mission. There is a useful counterpoint in the scenes involving Lovell's wife, waiting fearfully on the ground. (She tells their son, "Something broke on your daddy's spaceship, and he's going to have to turn around before he even gets to the moon. ") But Howard adds no additional side stories, no little parallel dramas, as a lesser director might have. This is a powerful story, one of the year's best films, told with great clarity and remarkable technical detail, and acted without pumped-up histrionics. It's about men trained to do a job, and doing a better one than anyone could have imagined. The buried message is: When we dialed down the space program, we lost something crucial to our vision. When I was a kid, they used to predict that by the year 2000, you'd be able to go to the moon. Nobody ever thought to predict that you'd be able to, but nobody would bother.

Apollo 13 simulator scene. "We've never lost an American in space. We're sure as hell not gonna lose one on my watch! Failure is not an option! " "Houston, we have a problem. " ? Jim Lovell In 1970, the Apollo 13 mission was launched, headed for the moon. But this ill-fated flight would never reach its goal. Instead, its crew would have to handle another crisis ? one which endangers not only the mission, but their very lives. But this 1995 movie is no sci-fi epic. Based on actual events, Apollo 13 depicts real history. When an explosion rocks the service module, the crew soon realizes that the oxygen tanks aboard the Command Module Odyssey are leaking, forcing Mission Control to abort the landing. The crew shut down Odyssey and power up the Lunar Module Aquarius (which normally could only support two men for a little over a day) to act as a lifeboat as they slingshot around the far side of the moon. Only ingenuity and the ability to keep their wits about them will allow them to get home safely... Based on Jim Lovell's book on his experience, Lost Moon. In an interesting example, he shot the book idea past publishers, publishers got excited and sent it to filmmakers who immediately started bidding on it, and then someone called Lovell and said Imagine Entertainment was going to make a movie based on it. He hadn't finished the book yet! Director Ron Howard, producer Brian Grazer, and star Tom Hanks went on to produce the HBO miniseries From the Earth to the Moon. If you watch this on DVD, Blu-Ray, or the Signature Collection Laserdisc, make sure you listen to the commentary track by the real Jim and Marilyn Lovell. Apollo 13 provides examples of: open/close all folders Tropes # to F 13 Is Unlucky: As noted on the main article page, NASA sparingly used 13 as a mission number since the accident. For NASA, a trope could be made for "January is Unlucky. " The final flight of Space Shuttle Orbiter Columbia, the Apollo 1 fire and the loss of Orbiter Challenger all occurred on January 16, 27, 28 in 2003, 1967 and 1986. (While the Columbia re-entry disaster did not occur until February 3, the problem that caused the disaster happened on launch. ) Ace Pilot: You have to be an ace pilot to be an astronaut, but Jim Lovell is talked about as one of the best even by other astronauts (who are more likely to praise their own skills than others'), having flown numerous successful missions for the Navy, Gemini, and Apollo 8. Ken Mattingly is also considered to be up at the top ? when informed that he's working on the power-up procedures, Lovell is somewhat reassured. Activation Sequence: Near the end, as they approach Earth, Ken Mattingly in Houston is in the simulator going through power-up procedures, trying to get enough systems up to run the module through re-entry, while not burning through their remaining power. The one we actually see him go through, obviously, is the one that works as the systems each come back up and monitors come back to life. Later he walks Jack Swigert through the procedure on the Odyssey, which had been shut down following the explosion days before. Actually Pretty Funny: On day 6, a fit of cabin fever leads to the crew ripping off their bio-med sensors. While Charles Berry was exasperated to say the least, Gene Kranz was rather amused. Adaptational Attractiveness: Gary Sinise ? is a lot more handsome than Ken Mattingly ? was. Air Voyance: When Lovell takes off for Florida, his wife watches from the yard as his plane flies over the house. Justified by the plane being a white T-38 Talon, and also by the likelihood that Lovell would have set up his flight plan specifically to allow the pass. (NASA has maintained a fleet of T-38s, as chase planes and astronaut trainer/taxis, for a very long time, and the agency's fleet livery is white with sky blue pinstriping. NASA pilots often let their families know they were home by overflying their house, Air Traffic Control permitting. The more senior the pilot, the hotter the aircraft which might be available for personal taxi service, e. g at least one pilot at Dryden (Edwards AFB) often used an F-104 Starfighter for trips. ) Taken Up to Eleven in a later scene, where Lovell looks down at the Earth through a window in the lunar module, and his wife stares back up at him from her living room. Almost Out of Oxygen: Initially played deathly straight, as the Odyssey depends on the rapidly venting liquid oxygen for power as well as simple breathing. Inverted once Aquarius is online; due to multiple planned moonwalks (which would have required venting the entire LEM for each moonwalk, and repressurizing after each one as well), they have plenty of breathing oxygen, but they also have too much CO 2 in their air. They need to MacGyver a carbon dioxide filter in order to avoid Hypercapnia. And Mission Control Rejoiced: They go absolutely nuts after Lovell's answer of the hail from CAPCOM confirms that the astronauts survived reentry. Artistic License: The three astronauts remained surprisingly cool under pressure in real life (let's face it, you don't get to be an astronaut if you don't have Nerves of Steel), but the movie ramped up emotional tensions between them for dramatic effect. If you're the space-buff sort, you can read the flight's entire transcript and compare it to the film adaptation. To put it in perspective, the highlight of the astronauts' tension was Jim Lovell saying frappin' in frustration at one point. In short, the film heightens what both astronauts and engineers were already contemplating before several of the film's crises actually occurred (such as CO 2 scrubbing). A lot of the drama around Ken Mattingly in the film was contrived. In reality, he was actually at Mission Control when the incident unfolded. At the beginning of the film, the Lovell family are seen hosting a party for Apollo 11's landing. In reality, Jim Lovell was at Mission Control during the landing and moonwalk, as he was Neil Armstrong's backup for the flight. On the commentary track, Jim Lovell points out that when leaving Earth orbit, you don't aim for where the moon is at the time but where it will be by the time you arrive days later, but admits that showing the spacecraft heading towards the moon makes for a better-looking image in the film. The Saturn V rocket for Apollo 13 is shown being rolled out to the launchpad two days before the launch. It was actually rolled out in December 1969. In real life, Apollo 13's launch happened during the shift of Flight Director Milt Windler and the Maroon Team. The film depicts Gene Kranz and the White Team working that shift as a means of introducing Kranz and several other important Mission Control characters to the audience. Alan Shepard's ear condition was fully cured after 1969, the switch between the proposed crews of Apollo 13 and 14 was issued to give more time to Shepard (whose only previous flight dated back to Mercury MR-3 in 1961) and his inexperienced crew. As You Know: There's a fair amount of this to get NASA techno-speak across to a viewing audience. The emergency meeting where the Mission Control guys explain the meaning of terms they already know like "direct abort" and "free return trajectory" stands out. Badass Boast: Jim's mother, Blanche, is confident that he will get them home safely. Blanche: If they could get a washing machine to fly, my Jimmy could land it. Gene frickin ' Kranz: The character's famous line is a bit of Artistic License as the real Kranz did not say this, but let's all pretend that he did, m'kay? note Gene: We never lost an American in space, we're sure as hell not gonna lose one on my watch! Failure is not an option! Then there was this reply by Kranz: Director: This could be the worst disaster NASA's ever experienced. Kranz: With All Due Respect, sir, I believe this is gonna be our finest hour. Badass Bookworm: It's NASA. This skill needs to be on the resume of each team member. The guy who comes up with the design of the jury-rigged CO 2 filter earns the title of "Steely-eyed missile man". John Aaron, the original "steely-eyed missile man" from Apollo 12. His role in the movie is an expanded pastiche of himself and quite a few other people, but he really was there and played a critical role in coming up with the reduced-power boot-up sequence for the CM. The Big Board: Two different boards are used for this purpose: There's the more traditional (trope-wise) big board at the front of mission control showing, at various times in the movie, plot-relevant status updates of the mission (i. e., status of the main engines, the current position of the astronauts, etc. ) After the explosion and Kranz calls a meeting in a side room, he uses a chalkboard to draw the Earth, moon, and the current position of the astronauts - for the audience, this is used to explain what is meant by "free-return trajectory" vs. "direct abort", as well as (later on) how far 45 hours would get the astronauts. (He first tried using an overhead projector, but, appropriately, it malfunctioned when he tried to use it. ) Big "YES! ": The entire world's reaction, in general, when, after more than 4 minutes of radio silence... Jim: Hello, Houston, this is Odyssey. It's good to see you again. The Grumman rep, after warning the LM was not built for making course-corrections, whoops it up, yelling "How 'about that LM, eh?! " Billions of Buttons: So many, in fact, that NASA sent Dave Scott, the commander of Apollo 15, as a button wrangler to make sure they did it right. Bittersweet Ending: Apollo 13 was called a "successful failure", in that they returned home safely, but did not land on the moon as originally intended, making Jim Lovell the only Apollo astronaut who fle
I am Canadian who was born in 71. I have an interest in the space program but not to the extent of learning its history. I knew that something bad happened with Apollo 13 but I didn't know what. So when I saw the movie, I was in true suspense as to what happens. The only thing I really did know was that they made it home alive.

Howard does a wonderful job in detailing what life is like for an astronaut of the early days of space travel. Hanks, Paxton and Bacon deserved nominations for their portrayals of the real astronauts, both giving us a glimpse of the professionalism of the astronaut and the human side that encompasses us all. Good show Ron. Apollo 13 vpx. My whole family really enjoyed this film and especially, in contrast to some viewers, its more technical aspects. This entire flight was a topic I knew very little about (though I was probably a teenager at the time) so found it both an informative and gripping drama. It chronicles the ill adventures of Apollo 13, NASA's third planned lunar landing, which at the time had become routine and failed to capture the public's attention. The flight runs into potentially fatal problems when an oxygen tank explodes, precluding the planned moon landing, and the intelligent, highly stressed astronauts (as well as the Houston control team) must use all their skill, creativity, and ingenuity to avert disaster and ensure a safe return to earth. The cast does a magnificent job in recreating the three astronauts, their camaraderie and determined efforts. flight commander, Jim Lovell (Tom Hanks) Fred Haise (Bill Paxton) and replacement astronaut, Jack Swiger (Kevin Bacon) and also the Houston mission control director (Ed Harris. The film captures the disappointment of crew members (especially Lovell) in being denied their exciting moon landing, so long anticipated and trained for, and also portrays the effects of this potential tragedy on their families, particularly Lovell's devoted wife, Marilyn (Kathleen Quinlan. I have little knowledge of the historical accuracy or personal lives of the astronauts aboard this Apollo flight. Some have claimed that the personalities of some of the crew have been altered; if so, I would not approve. Although based on fact with a lot of attention to technical detail, it should, nevertheless, probably be regarded as a Hollywood production, and not necessarily a documentary. Even though we know in advance the outcome, it still has a riveting plot to keep viewers glued to their seats. The movie is especially a testament to the dangers inherent in space flight even to this very day, the training and courage of astronauts, and the anxiety that must be experienced by their families, especially when something goes amiss during the flight. Personally, I found The Right Stuff just a wee bit dull, but rate very highly this movie that put the phrase 'Houston, we have a problem' into our everyday vocabulary.

I suppose if they HAD made it to the moon, and the cryotank burst had happened on the return, things wouldnt have played out so well.

I think the characters of this movie are realistically portrayed and was genuinely worried for them when things went south. Some might think this movie is boring because of the slow buildup but I like it. There is not a lot of action for a disaster movie. If you like Micheal Bay explosions and death, this is not the disaster movie for you. If you like more realistic movies, this is a great one.
