This. It is playing the theme from 2001. Narrator april 13, 1970. The mood could only be described as relaxed. Apollo 13, mans fifth lunar mission. The third scheduled landing on the moon. Weve got one more item for this is the crew, ready to close out aquarius and get back to a pleasant evening in odyssey. Good night. 13, weve got one more item for you. We would like you to stir up your cryo tanks. Ok. Standby. Houston, we have a problem here. This is houston, say again. Weve had a main b bus undervoltage.

Apollo 13 had the second least number of problems of all of the flights. We almost aborted apollo 14 and apollo 16. They had pretty Serious Problems they were able to work around and allowed them to land. So that was the nature of the business. And as i said, the very theme of this movie that carried very well was the story of somebody in problem, with problems, with a challenge, challenges really to face. And showed a group of people, a team in this case of Mission Control and ourselves.
