As the oxygen level plummets, the astronauts must escape to the lunar lander. It's a desperate act of survival for which the crew has never trained.

To me Apollo 13 was NASA’s finest moment. As incredible as a flawless moon mission is, keeping 3 men alive and bringing them home while facing such dire straits using creative, on the fly decisions will never fail to inspire me.
Wonder why the service module wasn't jettisoned early so the stack would be more fliable.

Also, i understand there's a bunch of trash floating around the CM and LM.
But when the course correction burns happen, why doesn't the trash get shed and left behind.
FYI at 9:02 this video has Jim Lovell as.a flight controller. This could not have been footage from Apollo 13.
He wasn't a flight controller but rather, cap-com.
The astronauts for the next mission handled all the communications between Houston and the spacecraft.
Good catch!
(But... The video might also be from project Gemini because NASA had integrated the communications protocol before Apollo.)
The statement around 18 minutes in
about difference in position of the vehicles is wrong. 3m makes no difference. The problem was difference in ORIENTation. For instance the Z direction of the of the CSM is negative of the same vector for the LEM.
Very cool detail to point out! Would only the Z axis be backward but also the roll axes be inverse also?
A starboard roll in the CM would be a port roll to the LM.
Pitch axis should have remained same relative to the plane of travel.
On Apollo 10, many times when the LM pulled up a new program to fly a routine in both the descent and ascent phases, activating the program caused the LM to lurch radically.
I wonder if somehow orientation baselines were out of phase in the IMU.
@@AndrewBlacker-wr2ve First Para. It is a RH triad. Thumb is x Middle finger is Z. If you rotate your your R hand around to put Z down , Y remains in the same direction. X is at 180 degrees to where it was Therefore the direction of positive roll is reversed relative to the ship that is flying pointy end first.
No comment on the second paragraph.
