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.
even worse. Imagine being a loved one of an astronaut that perished in a couple of tragedies? And these flatards come along and say, no they didn't die. I'd like to get my hands on one of those clowns.
They are easy to spot now - most wear red ball caps now. Not all Red hats are flat earthers and not flat earthers are red hats but the Venn diagram over laps quite a bit.
Just give those pukes the Adrin.
They are jealous because they won't ever be able to achieve half of what these men did.
I was thoroughly overjoyed when Buzz Aldrin flattened one of those basement dwellers with a good right hook.
I remember this incident quite well, it was one of those moments in time when you never forget where you were and what you were doing.
The Crew of Apollo 13 proved Survival is the best success!

I’ve stood right next to the Saturn V rocket in Houston. To say that it’s huge is a major understatement.
I have visited the one inside the Kennedy Space Center that is horizontal. Yeah, the size of it still blows my mind.
I saw the saturn in florida as well. To be honest I expected it to be bigger. I also found myself surprised at how small Atlantis was compared to what I had envisioned in my head
Saw it in May 1981 agree that’s one big mother!
I saw the Saturn V at the Kennedy Space Center in 2019; she’s one heck of a beautiful, impressive vehicle!! What a great day it was for me to finally get to see one of the greatest, most iconic feat of engineering of our history!
@@deebo3864my thought exactly!! I couldn’t believe it was the actual space shuttle!! I thought « this got to be a reduced model! This can’t be it! » It is so much smaller than I thought. I’ve rode airplanes much bigger than that! It was still very impressive though. Born in 1982, I grew up during the space shuttle era.
Jim was always one of my favorite astronaut
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
WOW!!!!! BEST APOLLO 13 documentary I have ever seen!!!! 5 STARS!!!!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I stumbled upon this and learned a lot how these design of the Command Module, Service Module and Lunar Excursion Module contributed to the astronauts' safe return.
Very educating.
I thought that this was a comedy video, thanks for specifying
Flat Earther?
I can remember apollo 13 I was 9 Years old I was with my Brothers and Sisters and with my Father and we all were seeing it on TV at the time.
In profile Jim Lovell looks just like Kevin Costner. Hollywood missed a trick there!
They used a decent actor instead.
Kevin Costner was actually considered for playing Jim Lovell in the movie Apollo 13 as far as I am aware.
I know he dose. I'm glad someone noticed that to.
@@yassassin6425 Kevin Costner was plenty decent as an actor, he was just as big a movie star until he made that waterworld thing, which hurt his career by 1994. But Hanks probably still would have gotten it because he already in a Ron Howard movie, so they knew each other, and he was a double Oscar winner so they knew he would be a box office draw
@@paulinegallagher7821
*_"Kevin Costner was plenty decent as an actor"_*
Yes, I particularly enjoyed his ingenious interpretation of Robin Hood with an American accent.
I'm too young to have witnessed this firsthand bit I find it fascinating the computer that powered these missions was less powerful than my phone.
I didn't know that Britishers worked in the Apollo program, except for Cliff Charlesworth. He was the flight director for the even-numbered Apollo missions. Gene Kranz directed the odd-numbered missions.
Great documentary
fabulous..
Pinnacle of challenges...
Pinnacle of fairy tales Einstein.
@@yomommaahotoo264so you don't believe Apollo 13 almost ended in disaster? It's a miracle these men made it home. Have a bit of respect for these American heroes.
@@JohnV170 It was all a fairy tale you gullible fool.
Wonderful piece of fiction ❤
28:39 A bit of context that is often misreported and I'm glad this documentary points out is how the lunar lander suddenly became a lifeboat. Despite most dramatic depictions this wasn't entirely improvised. Considering the lander had to be able to operate separately even on a normal mission the transfer of a lot of command was already on the books anyway. The books also had some emergency procedures for quicker transfer and this kind of use of the lander. Mind you those procedures only prepared for partial failure of the command module and not the cascading set of troubles during Apollo 13 since it was thought the lander was already over-engineered.

Note to self ‘ stay away from the number 13 ‘
If you are superstitious, then "1" should be you're unlucky number.
They all died.
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.
Ron howards' movie about Apollo 13 was scary accurate in almost all of it, even down to things the flight controler crews said to each other.
That's what teamwork is all about.First it was 3 for all.Then it was all for 3.
It's all fake.
So is your IQ...
Says the idiot that believes in Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster😂😂😂
Great documentary, thank you. I didn’t realise there were British engineers on the programme?
A Brit called David Baker was the lead scientist! (I remember that because it's my name as well!-no relation, unfortunately!)
There were 100.000 engineers on the program from diverse backgrounds, it was German V2 engineers and MIT computer science which put man on the moon..Who do you think has designed the Concorde??? same Germans..This is a British video..Naturally if there is one Brit out of 10.000 they must mention it...
The duct tape could actually plug up a hole in the ship from a meteor. Even a pretty large hole. That would make a good duct tape commercial.
I'm surprised we haven't seen it yet - you should pirch the idea!
@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...
Yes!! LOL
25:35 Nova would have been the most Kerbal solution.
Imagine the deadly results, if Apollo 8, on which Jim Lovell was also part of the crew, had gone 200,000 miles toward the Moon and suffered the same oxygen tank incident, without a LM
"lifeboat". What a tragic counterfactual that would be.
Never say that it can't go wrong!
I could only say it is very good movie!
4:26 I was waiting for him to say, ". . . but unfortunately he didn't have a neck injury."
Question to Ron Howard "how do you know you are flying wirh a dead elephant on your back in zero gravity ?
Really well put together! If you have a patreon or something else, I'd be happy to throw some money your way!
That was huge! I am just amazed! What a phenomenal achievement considering each obstacle they had to face was life or death & in the environment of space...truly remarkable & even years later it gives me goose bumps & a deep sense of pride & elation to witness what humans can achieve if we work together as a team for the greater good...no solution for a problem is unachievable.
Yet here we are 53 years later & the human race is still defined & segregated & separated by geography your skin color & class systems & the $....yet what remains & what connects us all & what will always remain & connect us all...is what we all have in common...we are all human beings with a human spirit a human heart & a human soul living on one planet...we are all one.
i wish you all peace & love...one love.
A had an uncle that worked for NASA,a cousin that works at the Pentagon,and my dad helped draw out the scematics or blueprints,for the F-16,in the Air force. I've done nothing great,myself except, survive a massive stroke at 35.... So, couldnt.
Hi I love space, my name is Colin and because a lot of people say we have not been to the moon I think if you put a red light on the moon at a day and time for people to see ❤😊
How did they not cast Kevin Costner as Jim Lovell in the movie? Looks like they could be brothers when viewed side on.
"Houston, we've had a problem" is correct. The movie got it wrong.....on purpose.
Sheep
@@bboi1489 ?
@Vlasko60 I think that's a glitch. I probably mocked some flerf in a different reply section and it got here somehow. It's happened to me before.
I was only 10 years old when Paul 13 was there
good vid to many ads
I was just 9 yesrs old wine Apollo 13 was going off to the moon.
Bringing all the engineers they fired but nobody talks about that
Do the astronauts control the staging? That is do they flip a switch to actuate it, at the right time. Or is it automatically controlled? Also im imagining since engine 5 had a problem. They burned the remaining 4 for a longer impulse to achieve the correct velocity for the next stage.
It's controlled by the computer on the Saturn V.
No, the IU controls the Saturn V.
its all like triple redundant. So its able to be automated by a computer or manually piloted or even controlled entirely from the ground.
when they landed on the moon the camera man got a beer and belly warmer ΑΩ
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.
The real question I have, did anyone ever stir the tanks again?
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
@@billglaser thanks for your reply. i wasn't being critical. just interested, i am glad you realised that.
Is it just me or does Anthony Errington look like a walrus William Shakespeare? 😀🇮🇪🇺🇲
Quite impressive for modern apes.
Astronaut/Apollo Mission/Saturn 5 rocket, driving a corvette it's 1970 this guy was a true rock star living the dream but to bad it was apollo13t he did a drive by like apollo 8 smh
Not only was he extremely intelligent, he was a very cool dude!
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
Why didn’t they use the oxygen from their space suits till it was depleted?
Is it decáde or décade? Can anyone explain the first audioclip? Kennedy declares the intention to land on the moon, but in his speech he puts emphasis on the a in 'decade', but here the emphasis is on the first syllable. This made me distrust this documentary. Can anyone explain?
it’s just how he said it i guess with his accent but that’s how he actually said it
"This made me distrust the documentary"
🙄
The amount of ads is out of this world ...
Probably a great video, but the ads being every 5 minutes and twice as loud as the main content made sure I'll never know. Worse even than a football game.
Space is cold AF, but ya gotta pack water for cooling, that’s bananas, girl
Engines are hot.
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 😉
i think you will find that its pretty faithful to what happened the only thing that is a stretch is the argument in the CM.
@@eddjordan2399 yes , the main thing is the movie illustrated the dire situation, to the general public

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.”
Oh, conspiracy theorists.. 🤦♂️
Lots of Alex Jones fans on here
over hyped😢
Why did you watch it?
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.
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.

Does it matter?
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
Your tin foil hat is on too tight.
@@smeeself 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 !
@wisehealing Just think. At all. You are a bog standard tin foil hat wearing nutjob, with nothing to support your claims but self delusion. Get help. 🤡
