Has ever embarked. Neil saturday april 11th, 1970. Liftoff for apollo 13. Neil third trip to surface of the moon. Looks good. Neil commissions commander to be fifth man to walk on. Yes, Alan Shepherd had been grounded for 9 years and he was up for flight again, and so because of his space program, okay, you get apollo 13. And then, you know, wiser heads management said, wait a second, shepherd doesnt have that much screening so far. Maybe we need to give him more training. I had made apollo 8 and i had previous training and i thought 13 would be fine. All the other engines are go. Fourth flight into space, record. Module is coming from about 5,000 miles down to earth. Spacecraft and has 4b traveling in a speed about 22,900 feet per second at this time. Neil in addition to apollo 8, mans First Mission around the moon was two Gemini Missions and turned down the command module when Neil Armstrong and buzz aldrin walked on the moon. One small step for man. To be honest about it i just didnt want to go and let other guys to land for the first time. Why did we have more missions on the moon, to satisfy jfks mandate. Logically the world might thing that one was a fluke, apollo 13, nasa had gotten the idea that it was their job just to keep landing on the moon. Okay, i can see on window. Looking at beautiful view of earth. And wind in good shape. Im real pleased. Im kind of hopeful the high concept will be really good. Good deal. Neil sunday april 12th. This is apollo control houston, 17 hours, 23 minutes and now under the flight, apollo 13. Our Digital Displays presently show the apollo 13 spacecraft at 79,919 nautical miles away from earth and traveling at velocity of 6300, 50 feet per second. The mood was light. Did you finish your income tax . Neil he had not. [inaudible] things going to happen real fast down there. I do need an extension. He got exposed to the resource and backup jack swigert took his place. We will see if we can take the agent out in the pacific when you come back. Neil the only problem on houstons radar choice of confidence. Just made myself a hot dog sandwich we can with ketchup. You are supposed to put mustard on the hot dog and not ketchup but we will overlook that. Neil monday april 13th. Apollo control, 147,103 nautical miles from earth, traveling velocity of 3,960 feet per second. Neil day 3 for apollo 13 was to be tapped by a live tv tour directed by lovell and his crew. [inaudible] through the tunnel and back up. Neil odyssey was command imagine all, module and aquarius was the lunar module. One hour. Neil haise was to follow lovell to walk on moon. [inaudible] neil apollo 13 was rocketing to the moon 9 months after apollo 11, 3 Moon Missions in one year and started to see just almost common place. Its been a really good tv show. We think that we ought to conclude it from here now. What do you think . You look at tv ratings at the time, general, they were beginning to decline with apollo 12. Yeah. Apollo 13. Neil there wasnt even as much interest in apollo 13 launch of course, until the explosion. Hey, can i. Hold on one second. Sure. Okay. Okay safe drivers save 40 guys guys check it out. Safe drivers save 40 safe drivers save 40 safe drivers save 40 thats safe drivers save 40 . It is, thats safe drivers save 40 . Hes right there. Its him hes here. Hes right here. Hi hi.

Apollo 13 presently at 177,861 nautical miles away. Neil after the broadcast just a quick test before bed. Weve had one more item for you when we got a chance. Neil jack swigert was on it. Okay, standby. Neil out of nowhere an explosion. We have a problem here. Say again, please. We have a problem. Neil swagert might have been a meteorite. Negative. The crew reported. We may had pretty hard proceeded with the cautionate warning. Neil this wasnt on earth. 200,000 miles away. A little different. Yeah. Way different. It was touch and go, but there was nothing we could do but be came and try to figure out what we had. You have to have a positive attitude that okay, we have a problem and how do we solve it. Is there any kind of we have real problem or what . We are reading pressure in fuel cell 1. 13 on b cell pressure. What do you want to do . Open circuit . I thought to myself, why me, why when do go on apollo 12, or apollo 13 and for a little while i couldnt believe what was happening and then all of a sudden i said, well, it is me and it is now, so whats next . [inaudible] we are venturing out into space. Lets think of the kind of things we are vetting. Anything that seems unnormal . Look at the system. Okay. Neil unexplained explosion, mysterious leak from odyssey, demand service module, csm wasnt just their ride to the moon, it was their ride back. Lets make sure that we dont do anything thats going to blow our csm, electrical power with batteries or that it will cause us to lose the main fuel cell number 2. Neil you sounded so confident, particularly, you sounded so a lot of people said you didnt understand the situation. [laughter] okay, we want to keep and we want to have module system. We are in good shape if we need to get home. Lets solve the problem and not make it any worse. Neil solving the problem would bolster theme in houston. Concentrating on everything that they are dependent because nothing we can do about that. There was nothing we could do. We could have panicked about ten minutes and bounced off the walls and we would be right back where we started. Call in your backup to see if we can get more brain power . We have one here. I was home, i was backup crew. I recall it was about 9 00, 10 00 oclock at night, texas time and john young called me and said they have a problem, some explosion. We have to go into Mission Control and i got dressed up and within 30 minutes i was in Mission Control with john and ken mattingly. Okay. Back to you. Go ahead. [inaudible] we can do that on fuel cell number 1. Lets make sure we dont blow the whole mission. Neil nobody knew how bad the situation was but they were about to find out. We had a problem. We dont know the cause of the problem. Weve lost two fuel cells. I hate to put it that way, but i dont know why we lost them. Neil on top of that, they didnt know what was leaking leg from the ship. I tell you what, gnc can you find out what we are getting so we can see if we can backtrack . Neil Mission Control figured it out it was liquid oxygen. It was at 297. When i looked at control panel and looked at the one of the gauges of the fuel tanks, one of them read zero and the other one the needle was going down. Neil did you ever thought that i might die . Did you really . When we realized after we saw the oxygen neil what did you think would happen to you . Suffocate . I realized very quickly that shortly i would be out of oxygen in the command module and things took a drastic turn. Weve had the lunar module and had power and the batteries and haddocks had oxygen. We need to get back home. Neil it was clear they did need to get back home and the mission to the moon was over, scrap, their new mission about to begin. somber music this is an urgent message from the International Fellowship of christians and jews. There is an emergency food crisis for elderly Holocaust Survivors in the former soviet union. This is a fight against time. What were dealing with is coming out, meeting someone whos 85, 90 years old, cant get around, has no food, has no water and just wants to give up and die. And thats where we come in. We are called to comfort these people, to be a blessing to their lives. [presenter] for just 25 well rush an emergency survival package to help one desperate elderly person for a month. Call right now. In ukraine theres no support network. They dont have food cards or neighbors that come in to help. Theyre turning to us because they have nowhere else to turn. [presenter] your gift is a lifeline to help these elderly jewish Holocaust Survivors. Help them to live out their final years with dignity and love. Call right now. What i pray is that you wont turn your eyes but you will look at their suffering and your heart will be changed. [presenter] with your gift of just 25 we can rush an emergency survival package to help one desperate elderly person for a month. Call right now. Think about getting in the limb or using the lim system. If not we were going to transmit as long as we could back and give all the incidents of what the situation was and our thoughts on what the problem was so that the people, if we never got back home again the people would have some idea of what what to do to correct few future flight. I want to get you guys minimum power in the lims. We had to rescue them and bring them back. Being the two senior lunar module and command module pilot pilots, we went to simulators to try to do in simulators had to do to get them home. Neil nasa calculated the better option was to continue to the moon, go around it and slingshot to earth. We have to go around the the moon if we get back if we will use the engine. You would have enough capability with the engine but we dont use that now so we have to go to the backside of the moon and come back. Neil the crew needed to manually tweak approach to the moon. If they messed up they could end up lost in space. So that was a challenge, getting them back on a trajectory that would whip them around the money and free return and sling them back to earth for reentry. My role was assimilator along with others and we took turns to get them back on free return, we developed that in a simulator. Neil pulling off the free return burn required all 3 crew members to act in concert with exact precision. Swagger counted off seconds. Haise handled the maneuver. Looking good. Neil as aquarius stepped the moon, he said goodbye. I looked quite over and said its going to be a long time before someone else is up here. [inaudible] unfortunately instead of the talk on my radio it was on it was automatically being transmitted all the way down to the earth and got in Mission Control, Mission Control heard that and the pr people, no, what he really meant was neil what he meant to say. [laughter] neil once around moon the crew had execute to line with earth. Go for the burn, go for the burn. Go for the burn. Guys okay . We are okay. 40 . Houston, youre looking good. Roger. Shutdown. Valves are shut own. That was a good burn. Understand. So that was the first get them back on free return, then start understanding how we can make this stuff last to get us back and we had a vehicle that we were depending on, the lunar module that was made for two guys for 3 days and then we got 3 guys for 4 days. Neil the numbers didnt add up for charlie duke. How do you make it last . I said we dont have enough, oxygen, electrical power, those kind of consumables to get them back. I said we are not going to make it. Its all running out 24 hours before we got back. When we first opened our doors, it didnt take us long to realize. We werent in the car business. At lexus, we were in the people business. We needed to be helpful. Respectful. And compassionate. To treat people like guests. Its what we all signed up for. And now when people need this most, we will do what weve always done. Take care of people first. The rest will follow. Robinwithout the commission fees.

Look into my eyes you will see what you mean to me dont tell me its not worth trying for you know its true everything i do i do it for you yeah, i would fight for you id lie for you walk the wire for you yeah, id die for you you know its true everything i do i do it for you continuously ever since last night. We started in the simulator powering based on the suggestions and the recommendations of the team that was monitoring those systems. And i asked for a reconfirmation because when you do that its irreversible, shutting things down. Neil to conserve electric power, Mission Control had the crew shut down all but the vital Life Sustaining systems. The temperature dropped to 38degrees. It was a very variable icebox. [inaudible] okay. They were freezing to death. Neil the astronauts cut water to 6ounces a day. Lost 14 pounds. Neil were you dehydrated getting home . Well, a lot to have water had frozen. Neil right. We finally getting water back through body heat and i didnt realize i lost 13 pounds and i guess i was all charged up and, you know, hardly slept. Neil little sleep as well in Mission Control, one life or death problem after another and zero margin for error. It became lets dont make a mistake and do something stupid that would foul up the whole mission, so my focus went to make sure everything we do in Mission Control and every procedure we sent up to them it has no mistakes in it. We tried to simulate virtually everything that weve had the crew the nonnormal that theyve done and most everything that weve been able to run on the simulator prior to passing it up to new details. We will continue to do that. My attitude changed from we are not going to make it to, yeah, we have enough stuff and if we dont make mistakes in our planning and execution of the plan, then we are going to make it back. I think spacecraft in excellent shape and fully capable of getting the crew back. I think as we have found before we put spacecraft to a test. Its always done much more than it was guarantied to do. Neil lovell, swigert and haise was pushing and three was the crowd and before the day was up the cartridges that removed carbon dioxide, they were sputtering out. One would stop work. The astronauts would suffocate. Mission control tried to assure levels it would somehow some way come up with a solution overnight. Go to sleep. Thinking about the valve. Roger. We are watching for you. Neil what did you tell your family, your wife at the time . Im sure shes panicking. How did you reassure her . There was no way i just had to, she listened to the underground transcripts. Neil they didnt let family members come on . But then, again, this is Risky Business and its still a risky. Neil wednesday april 15th from midnight to mornings inia engineers nasa engineers brainstormed the oxygen problem, clear the co2 accumulating in the lunar module. In a Mission Control work room the team with contraption and might do the trip if the astronauts could build wasnt one up in space. Step by Step Assembly instructions. Okay, jim, the way i thought it might be best to do it would be to have you gather the equipment and let us talk you through the procedure while you do it, maybe you could give jack the head set and and get the equipment together and talk through neil the astronauts are ready for scavenger hunt. Okay, i think the equipment will be right side canisters. [inaudible] the two lcts because we are going to use the bags from the lcts and one one card, one e of the card board cards that you will cut off. Neil they had the materials ready to go. First, Mission Control passed onto swigert good news from the irs. Okay, jack, did i ever tell you that [inaudible] i think i think [inaudible] neil then Mission Control and the astronauts built the device that they hope would work. Be careful. Neil they doved it the mailbox. Okay, lithium hydroxide canisters. Neil it required countless [inaudible] okay. Jack, next step is to get the eba card and use it to form an arch over the tap of the canister. I got the idea. Let me okay, jack. The next step is to stop up the bypass hole, the hole in the center of the bottom of the canister, we dont want to bypass the flow. Okay. The bag over the canister, bottom of the bag. [inaudible] okay. Now theres probably a couple excess bags around the bottom of the canister. To prevent this from sucking in against the bottom screen we would like you to turn that off with the scissors. Neil liked like science fair. [inaudible] okay. Neil but the mailbox delivered. Okay. [inaudible] neil deadly co2 levels receded. We got smarter and smatter and then thicks were looking real good. We are about 70 hours from home and we think we have the situation in control. Good work. We have plan for caring tout rest of the mission, but theres going to be in relaxation at all as far as that goes from now weve always had villains to face. Bad guys to take down, but you, you are the most horrible of all were not here because we have to be. Were here because weve had enough of you. Every single one of us is mortal, but inside of us, were all heroes. So, stand up with us. Stand up to fight. Stand up to cancer. Visit standuptocancer. Org to learn more. Neil thursday april 16th at apollo 13 approached earth the crew carefully with checklist to reenter atmosphere and slash down in the pacific ocean. I will scramble up and close the left hatch, making sure the valve is open. Neil key maneuver had leading aquarius an back into odyssey and hope the module would fire back. Dont forget to close the command module head on the way in. Closed before i get up there. Read out of what it was up there . Yeah, we are getting 45 to 46degrees. Now you see why we call it the refrigerator. Is it snowing in the command module yet . Youll have some time in the beach of samoa to thaw it out after this experience. Are the flowers blooming . Not yet. Still must be winter. Yeah, doubt theyll be blooming even saturday when you return. Neil friday april 17th, apollo 13 was ready to come home. Its almost comfortable. [inaudible] neil one last knuckle maneuver, the astronauts ignite system and level of entry knowing even a small miscalculation would result in catastrophic failure. Ignition. Looks good. You can shut down. Hang in there. It wont be long. Neil the public shown interest in the moon shots but no longer, not now, the world waited and prayed for the astronauts safety. The astronauts will come back safe. If i may be serious for one moment and ask the entire audience for a moment of prayer for the crew men of the apollo 13.

It was a heroine site and the crew of apollo 13 knew how lucky they had been. Is that right . The whole panel is blown out. Basically the engine. Neil they returned to the command module and powered it up again and lunar module. [inaudible] okay. Mos. Entry engine, copy, charlie. And welcome home. Odyssey houston standing by, over. Really looks great. [inaudible] neil at 1 07 p. M. Eastern standard time a a bit less than 10 hours they took off, apollo 13 splashed into the South Pacific and president nixon was on the phone. Captain when i spoke to you on the phone you regretted that you were unable to complete your mission. I hereby declare that this was a successful mission. Neil nasa did, indeed, return to the moon four more times but he himself never got another chance to go. Disappointment looking back at it even i fantized when landing on the moon and what i was going to do and act on the moon. Neil with all of the iconics moments to have mission, one that would fade from our collected memories, stories that didnt quite measure up. It was sort of in the beginning one that everyone wanted to forget of the command module itself landed in a small museum in ferris and no one ever knew where it was. I didnt know where it was. Neil really . But ultimately commander lovell to understand why he was wrong. As the years past, i said it was a failure in the initial mission, but in reality it was a triumph of people to overcome the worse of you, do things with what they have to work with to get certain capacity in apollo 13. We got together and pulled it off and as a recovery that was greatest. Talking about delivering under pressure. From the start, the exploration of space has been hazardous adventures. The men of apollo 13 by their poise and skills under the most intense kind of pressure epitomized the character that accepts dangers and surmounts it. There is america. Neil been there, done that, do you ever feel tempt today say that . Occasionally. Ive been there twice. Its not romantic as it used to [ ] disappeared from sight from the machus red fox restaurant.
