@MsFreudianSlip A hole one foot wide with a big wadded up blanket stuffed into it would stop most of the leak. Duct tape over it would make it air tight. A little one inch hole with only 14 pounds of force on it would be easy to seal up. If MacGyver was on the Titanic he could have stopped it from sinking in five minutes. Most of the damage to the hull was a half inch or less gaps between plates where the rivets failed. Cloth and paper thrown over the side would have gotten sucked into the leaks and slowed them down to a relative trickle that the pumps could have kept up with. I tried it with a 2 liter bottle with pin holes poked into it and streams of water squirting out. Little bits of paper towel dropped into the bottle get sucked into the leaks and plug them up.
@@JohnSmith-pc3gc google "collision mat" to see how easy the titanic could have been saved. I think mattresses placed over the rips by swimming sailors would have done it...
It’s a testament to Ron Howard’s Apollo 13 film that if you watch it, you’ll already know pretty much everything in this documentary. While this is a good documentary for people who don’t know much about it, I didn’t learn anything new.

isnt it interesting how many people mispronounce Werner von Braun's name? Braun is pronounced brown. but the tv adverts in the 80s got the pronunciation wrong for the razor brand -Braun, pronouncing it like the food - brawn. now it seems everyone gets it wrong. fascinating eh?
I think we just pronounce it as we read it in Englisch. Like how we pronounce volkswagen with a W. I will say though, if it’s for TV maybe make an attempt at the proper German pronunciation. Lol
So mean. That guy is a NASA scientist, not a model. I'm sure nobody cares how he looks. He is already more successful, disciplined, hard-working and intelligent than 90 percent people. PS- Okay I just saw your face on your channel LOL but not gonna say anything. Hope you learn to be a better person.
So they could have maintained regular water consumption but ran out five hours before they return to Earth? Why didn't they just do that and go 5 hours without water? Obviously I'm missing something here
The drier the air, the more the risk of dehydration, and the more critical that risk will become. Imagine how much worse it is in a desert, as opposed to a forest. Well, in space, there’s no moisture, period, no taking in of moisture, even through osmosis, or the ability of our cells to drink up the moisture in our environment. And for Fred Hayes, it was especially critical, as he had an urinary tract infection and a dangerously high temperature. The only thing that could drive it down was to flush his system with water. But all they were able to do with the water they had was to keep it in manageable range until he was home safe.
They needed water for cooling the onboard electronics; if they had run out, the electronics would have overheated and failed, making re-entry impossible.
At the Earth’s distance from the Sun an object in space that’s exposed to continuous sunlight can heat up to 500F. But an object in the shade will radiate heat away until it gets as cold as -164F. With all the equipment on aboard the spacecraft generating heat, as well as extra heat absorbed when the ship is in direct sunlight, this would normally see the astronauts baking inside the craft. During Apollo, thermal control involved balancing these two flows of energy. Overall temperature = sunlight absorbed + waste heat from equipment - radiative cooling. The command module was protected from excessive heating by reflective foils, insulation, and rotated slowly along its roll axis in order to disperse the heat from the Sun, so that it evenly and gently heated the spacecraft; the Passive Thermal Control. It also pumped coolant from heat sinks in the instrument racks to radiator panels on the service module instead of a sublimator plate as in the lunar module. In case this cooling happened too quickly, when not in direct sunlight the ship was also equipped with heaters to keep the astronauts comfortable. During Apollo 13 when all the equipment was switched off and they couldn’t spare power to run the heaters, they were left with a ship designed to radiate heat away relatively quickly, even when in sunlight, but nothing but their own bodies and sunlight generating heat. The net effect was that it became very cold inside the CM and LM.
Nope, a vacuum is one of the best insulators there is and even body heat will heat up the craft. Heat can only transfer through conduction convection and radiation, well there's no conduction or convection in a vacuum so you can only radiate heat away which can be slow. Learn a bit about thermodynamics.
As much as I like Ron Howard's "Apollo 13" movie, one of my favorites, I kinda laugh at how inaccurate, exaggerated and sometimes completely made up the events are depicted. But in Ron's defense, He said he was not making a documentary but a drama. So remember, any time you see a Hollywood movie start with " based on true events", you'll get very little facts and a bunch of bunkum and balderdash 😉
Weird he says if it had hapoened a few hours before it wouldnt have worked...the worst thing imaginable would be if it hapoened when lovell and haies were on the moon

NASA Clears Up Way Gemini Is Pronounced HOUSTON, April 2 (UPI) -Regardless of what the dic- tionary says, the Federal space agency's official pro- nunciation for its new man- in-space program, Gemini, is "Jiminy,. as in "Jiminy Cricket." That was the word today from the public affairs office of the agency's Manned Spacecraft Center near Hous ton, A spokesman said the agency's names committee in Washington was the oficial source. On Tuesday, Bob Jacobs, a spokesman for NASA, said that the “knee” pronunciation is part of the agency’s culture, and serves almost as an insider’s shibboleth - a word whose proper delivery identifies you as someone in the know. “If you get it right,” he said, “you’re part of the space club.”
The truth about Apollo 13 is that from the very beginning the mission was to crash the spacecraft into the surface of the moon to record seismic readings to determine if the moon was actually a hollowed out artificial satellite or spacecraft put in orbit about the earth at the time the earth was terraformed to support life. On a previous mission, seismic instruments were left on the moon for Apollo 13 to later crash the spacecraft into the moon close by those instruments. The moon rang like a gong for hours.
Lol no they were going to crash the accent stage into the surface after they boarded the command module again. They never intended to crash the entire craft lol
That was Apollo 1. If you get to watch the history of events from 1966 to 1969/70 the truth comes out that without the disaster of Apollo 1 and the deaths of Grissom, White and Chaffy and the lessons learnt , corrections made to get the program back on track, it’s unlikely that they would have made Kennedys deadline.
Are you aware that there were 6 Apollo missions that successfully landed on the moon? Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, & 17. Apollo 13 was supposed to be the 3rd landing.
STRANGELY REWRITING APOLLO 13 HISTORY: Like many others at that time, i was glued to the tube watching all the developments in the Apollo 13 mission. i recall that after the astronauts had turned the ship around so that the LEM (the acronym they used back then for "Lunar Excursion Module," changed to just "LM" now) would be facing forward, and had jettisoned the Service Module, astronaut Lovell manually fired the LEM's repurposed (landing) rockets while sighting the moon in one of the LEM's triangular windows to get the angle of the burn right (at least that's what Lovell said he did, after they were back on Earth). Today the version is that the LEM's computer was reprogrammed from moon-landing to the new job of Earth-orbit insertion. (As far as i recall, there was no computer guiding the descent stage rockets of the LEM, since they were meant to be manually controlled during descent to the moon's surface. i remember the astronauts had a lot of trouble in the practice runs on Earth MANUALLY piloting the LEM (computers were too slow and inefficient to do such real-time control in those days).) Let's get real NASA -- first you tell us a story that Lovell manually fired the Earth orbit re-insertion burn (which had to be super-precise and only the service module was up for that job), now to apparently try to fix that unlikeliness -- magically there is a (previously non-existent) computer doing that extremely accurate burn. But here's something else i vividly do remember -- just before re-entry into the atmosphere when all communication would be lost, Walter Cronkite (the TV commentator for all the space flights), obviously trying to prepare the viewing audience for the inevitable loss of the astronauts -- compared the possibility of getting the re-entry angle correct (rather than bouncing off into space or burning up in the atmosphere) -- to hitting the thickness of a piece of paper 20 feet away (meaning that it was extremely unlikely) ! Yet they made a near perfect splashdown right on target, with the LEM containing the atomic device they were going to detonate on the moon, safely splashing down and sinking into the deepest trench in the Pacific ! Nice job, eh ? Seems those UFOs (sorry, UAPs now) would have been pretty mad if it had exploded on the moon as planned (which they consider their domain). Guess we'll just have to chalk it all up to NASA living up to the true meaning of its acronym -- 'Never A Straight Answer' ;-)
@Smee Self i understand that your response can be typical in mainstream understanding, but i assure you that what i have related is based on known facts from several different angles, i.e. that the LEM never was computer controlled, that when the astronauts first returned, on TV they offered very different accounts, than the official accounts today, regarding how they managed to get back, plus Walter Cronkite on TV just before splash down, obviously believed that re-entry was impossible. Anyone with an unbiased mind can find holes in a lot of today's official narrative, especially regarding space and space exploration, if they do their own research i.e. how can it be assumed, that we are the only intelligent race in the whole Universe, while so many unexplained UFOs (aka UAPs) have been witnessed by credible citizens over many decades -- and then holding that incongruity in mind -- how could the Apollo 13 astronauts have possibly returned when the section of their craft specifically designed to manage a very delicate Earth orbit re-entry maneuver, was inoperative ? It could only have been done with some direct intervention. Please think for yourselves, everyone !
Imagine being one of these 3 men & you have to sit & listen to nutjobs say you were never in space, it's fake, etc etc. Great doc. One of the craziest stories you will ever hear.

How did they not cast Kevin Costner as Jim Lovell in the movie? Looks like they could be brothers when viewed side on.
Yeah, Hanks was a weird choice.
I think Costner's production company bid on rights for the movie but they were outbid by Imagine (Ron Howard and Brian Graizer's company).
Maybe because Costner couldn't act his way out of a wet paper bag. He has the look, but zero range.
Never say that it can't go wrong!

On Tuesday, Bob Jacobs, a spokesman for NASA, said that the “knee” pronunciation is part of the agency’s culture, and serves almost as an insider’s shibboleth - a word whose proper delivery identifies you as someone in the know. “If you get it right,” he said, “you’re part of the space club.”
Gettin real tired of every doc having a Brit as the narrator.
over hyped😢
Why did you watch it?
The truth about Apollo 13 is that from the very beginning the mission was to crash the spacecraft into the surface of the moon to record seismic readings to determine if the moon was actually a hollowed out artificial satellite or spacecraft put in orbit about the earth at the time the earth was terraformed to support life. On a previous mission, seismic instruments were left on the moon for Apollo 13 to later crash the spacecraft into the moon close by those instruments. The moon rang like a gong for hours.
please stop taking acid and go touch grass.
Lol no they were going to crash the accent stage into the surface after they boarded the command module again. They never intended to crash the entire craft lol
@@JohnV170 Incorrect Johnny Boy. The accent stage was too light for what Wernher von Braun wanted to accomplish.

Religious zealots are more likely to get sucked in by conspiracy theories, because they’ve already been groomed to accept ideas without evidence.
“Wide awake”😂
Wasn't Apollo 11 the mission that the three went to moon? Why say Apollo 13? With all the conspiracy theories why this?
All the Apollos went to the moon, or were supposed to.
That was Apollo 1. If you get to watch the history of events from 1966 to 1969/70 the truth comes out that without the disaster of Apollo 1 and the deaths of Grissom, White and Chaffy and the lessons learnt , corrections made to get the program back on track, it’s unlikely that they would have made Kennedys deadline.
Are you aware that there were 6 Apollo missions that successfully landed on the moon? Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16, & 17. Apollo 13 was supposed to be the 3rd landing.
We never walked on the moon
STRANGELY REWRITING APOLLO 13 HISTORY: Like many others at that time, i was glued to the tube watching all the developments in the Apollo 13 mission. i recall that after the astronauts had turned the ship around so that the LEM (the acronym they used back then for "Lunar Excursion Module," changed to just "LM" now) would be facing forward, and had jettisoned the Service Module, astronaut Lovell manually fired the LEM's repurposed (landing) rockets while sighting the moon in one of the LEM's triangular windows to get the angle of the burn right (at least that's what Lovell said he did, after they were back on Earth). Today the version is that the LEM's computer was reprogrammed from moon-landing to the new job of Earth-orbit insertion. (As far as i recall, there was no computer guiding the descent stage rockets of the LEM, since they were meant to be manually controlled during descent to the moon's surface. i remember the astronauts had a lot of trouble in the practice runs on Earth MANUALLY piloting the LEM (computers were too slow and inefficient to do such real-time control in those days).)
Let's get real NASA -- first you tell us a story that Lovell manually fired the Earth orbit re-insertion burn (which had to be super-precise and only the service module was up for that job), now to apparently try to fix that unlikeliness -- magically there is a (previously non-existent) computer doing that extremely accurate burn. But here's something else i vividly do remember -- just before re-entry into the atmosphere when all communication would be lost, Walter Cronkite (the TV commentator for all the space flights), obviously trying to prepare the viewing audience for the inevitable loss of the astronauts -- compared the possibility of getting the re-entry angle correct (rather than bouncing off into space or burning up in the atmosphere) -- to hitting the thickness of a piece of paper 20 feet away (meaning that it was extremely unlikely) ! Yet they made a near perfect splashdown right on target, with the LEM containing the atomic device they were going to detonate on the moon, safely splashing down and sinking into the deepest trench in the Pacific ! Nice job, eh ? Seems those UFOs (sorry, UAPs now) would have been pretty mad if it had exploded on the moon as planned (which they consider their domain).
Guess we'll just have to chalk it all up to NASA living up to the true meaning of its acronym -- 'Never A Straight Answer' ;-)
lol cronkite was explaining the precision required, not the chance of hitting it. math is a thing
@Smee Self i understand that your response can be typical in mainstream understanding, but i assure you that what i have related is based on known facts from several different angles, i.e. that the LEM never was computer controlled, that when the astronauts first returned, on TV they offered very different accounts, than the official accounts today, regarding how they managed to get back, plus Walter Cronkite on TV just before splash down, obviously believed that re-entry was impossible. Anyone with an unbiased mind can find holes in a lot of today's official narrative, especially regarding space and space exploration, if they do their own research i.e. how can it be assumed, that we are the only intelligent race in the whole Universe, while so many unexplained UFOs (aka UAPs) have been witnessed by credible citizens over many decades -- and then holding that incongruity in mind -- how could the Apollo 13 astronauts have possibly returned when the section of their craft specifically designed to manage a very delicate Earth orbit re-entry maneuver, was inoperative ? It could only have been done with some direct intervention. Please think for yourselves, everyone !
It's a movie dope, not a documentary.

Bored useless commentary we know already. Anything current to report on
i wouldn't believe anything Kennedy says -and just the same Nixon

Your joking, fake it to make it.
Lots of Englishmen for an American project lol
It's called joint projects. With stuff like this, it doesn't matter where you come from, just as long as you can do the job.
It's not SWIGert, it's pronounced swEYEgert with a long I. Good lord, don't you do any research?
Don't cry😭😭😭
Why is the U.S. launch of Apollo 13, documentary, being told by English blokes?
Perhaps the video was produced in the UK?🙄
Does it matter?
