Having to apply your intelligence and quick thinking in real time on a life or death situation. Hats off to these men.
It really goes to show how much training they go through to become astronauts. A lot of luck is involved but also an insane amount of hard work.
Yep, stage school can be pretty intense with all the Pea-dough-files lurking about.
@@MattyEngland i literally cant understand your comment, pedo's? stage school? huh
Many would say hard work is its own luck.
The mission training includes a lot of "what-if" simulations, some of which are extremely unlikely. It has been reported that the astronauts were interviewed after returning home and one of them said (paraphrasing), "If we were put through a simulation exactly like what did happen, we would have walked away from it in disgust as being too impossible."
@@laurendoe168 goes to show how much humans can and will do when their life is on the line. Just imagine being up there completely alone. If YOU dont do it, nobody can. Scary thought
Just one word to describe Thoughty2's ability to narrate a story: Brilliant.
Wrong sponsor mate.
@@22Epic lol
@@22Epic ?
Indeed!
No matter how many times I hear this story. It always amazes me
Bit like bambi and other works of fiction
@@MattyEngland 😂 I’d go with the Lion King. But there all good stories. Wether you believe them or not.
@@GetRocStar lol, 😂😉
Balls and nerves of steel.
@@alantripp6175 wrong section mate
I know this story backwards and forwards, but your rendition of it still brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for posting it.
I was thinking it was just me. 😭😻
Everyone wants to be an astronaut, but those people show why very few can actually work that job. That was incredible story and I admit I've never heard of them. But I can't describe how impressed I am. This is rare kind of courage.
And that is also why calling guys like Richard Branson astronauts is just a bad joke. He is as much an astronaut as I am a pilot for flying on vacation
At the risk of sounding cheesy, this is one of the great heroic stories of the 20th century. Three guys in a then high tech space craft nearly get terminated by a mechanical flaw. But despite the hostile environment, space, manage to bring themselves home safely. It's not an exaggeration to say the entire world held its breathe during the 4 minute coms black spot, and cheered with relief when they came through. And in a parallel with ancient stories it retells the story of Odysseus although he took 10 or 20 years and had more close shaves than Apollo 13. This is why Homer is such a ripping yarn.
This is one heck of a story and the movie is absolutely awesome :)
Ron Howard is an excellent director, actors were terrific. Have you watched 13 Lives?
@@farwoodfarm9296 No but I will :)
Starlink would have been named SkyNet if it hadnt been trademarked by Terminator.
That story still brings tears of joy and relief to my eyes.
Same. I’m retired USAF, and that movie had a whole dorm of guys in tears.
To me, this equals, or possibly surpasses the achievement of actually landing on the moon. Having so many people creating solutions on the fly, and astronauts who definitely had "the right stuff"...even knowing the ending, you are on the edge of your seat watching this. Explorers at their absolute best!
Honestly this is there isn’t a better survival story in human kind… ever. At any point, any fraction of a mistake would have cost them their lives. Even fatigued and starving they still were able to do what likely no one else could have done. I love hearing this story. Every time I am blown away.
No matter how many times I hear the story, I will always be fighting the urge to break down crying.
They were so close to death the entire time. Normal people would have been sobbing and shaking and arguing away their last regrets to each other, but not these heroes.
Astronauts are chosen because they are in no way "normal"
Me too, I was tearing up almost the entire time.
Same!!!
I was 11 and could not believe the mission was not on TV! As they were reentering, I had my watch timing the blackout as the narrator on TV was waiting. I knew how long these took, but it was a minute longer. That was the longest minute I had ever experienced!
The news media corporations were thinking: Hey, they've walked in the moin already, Apollo 8 lost all radio communication on the dark side of the moon, how can Apollo 13 top that? Well, it was another orifice puckering moment!
@gearmeister Losing signal behind the Moon is nothing unexpected and it happened on every lunar orbit in all of the missions, signals can't reach because the Moon is in the way.
@FrankyPi You also loose signal during re-entry. This was a minute and a half longer than usual. The whole world held its breath.
@@Torby4096 I know all that.
@@FrankyPi Yes, as we know, however, the media played it up to turn up the ratings
They did a great job with the movie, but I appreciate you breaking down how each of the modules worked with graphics and everything. There were definitely some parts they had to gloss over in the film for time and narrative flow, and this helped me understand parts of it better.
I've seen countless of documentaries, interviews and fictional depictions of this story - and I cannot choose a favorite. The entire press conference about the incident from 1970 is also on YT, and is well worth a watch (or listen). These guys kept their cool and got the job done. They really were made of "the right stuff".
Considering the utter primitive computational power and interfaces on those old Apollo spacecraft compared to what we have today still boggles my mind that they were able to successfully navigate a new course around the moon and back, using the LEM engine. There was so much great skill involved, but also tremendous luck. There were so many ways it could've been a worse situation that ended in their slow agonizing deaths. It's a survival story for all time.
I don't ever get bored with the telling of this fantastic misadventure. Salute to all men and women who helped the three to get back home.
And thank u for this new upload. ❤
One of my favorite movies of all time. I remember watching my Apollo Missions VHS set in anticipation of the release. Being a Theater Kid, I actually appreciated the dialog changes; including the yelling, which didn't really happen. I was SO EXCITED when I found out that Howard was able to use the Vomit Comet for filming. 😁
The vomit comet?
@@tracytron7162 Yup. They filmed some of the weightless scenes on it.
@@taitano12 Huh, just looked it up, that's actually really interesting
April 11th, 1970 is about to celebrate its 53rd anniversary soon. I remember the difficulty of living through the stress of just not knowing the outcome while everything transpired as well as the exhilaration of getting them back safely. Tough times and the elation of a successful return took a while to sink in. The next day we all looked at each other and said, "Are you SURE they all made it back safely?"
"Lessons learned are like bridges burned - we only need cross them but once. Is the knowledge gained worth the price of the pain - Are the spoils worth the cost of the hunt?" [Dan Fogelberg]
Try not to forget.
The movie version was an instant classic and one the best and most memorable movies I've watched growing up. I can even still remember the music score up until now.
same here. It was one of the best movies in 90's
Brilliant episode, thank you so much for this one.
It's an irony that we are unaware of the sacrifices they were ready to made for this mind boggling mission
They are the real heroes. Far Far more couregous then we can think.
I still can't believe they made it. All the cards were stacked against them. Absolute Legends.
Love your videos! Been watching these since around 2015. I hope you keep growing on here as you have so far🎉

Why he keeps changing video titles?
@@ananiealexandru7542 To try to have more views. That and the thumbnails.
What an amazing tale of talent, personal endurance, and an incredible result.
It doesn't matter how many times I see this story, how many different ways I've heard it told. It's still so amazing
This is one of the greatest real stories in history. The sheer number of things that had to be handled exactly right, under tremendous pressure, was astounding. I remember this - I was seven years old. Not really old enough to understand the drama of it all, but I could tell from the way my parents behaved that it was serious business. And when it ended in success, their elation elated me.
It actually wasn't the Ron Howard movie that introduced "Houston, we've got a problem" to the world. There was a 1974 movie that carried that exact phrase as its title. It covered the story just four years after it happened. I heard somewhere over the years that NASA didn't approve of that movie terribly because it put a lot of emphasis on the ground crew and the personal sacrifices they made to do their part in the crisis. Later when Ron Howard made his movie, NASA specifically wanted more emphasis on the astronauts. But it sounds to me like it took everyone to pull a win out of this situation. Without stellar performance from the astronauts, they died. Without ingenuity from the ground crew, they died. It truly was a team effort.
Amazing job talking about this survival story. Well done, Thoughty2! Especially considering that most people have probably seen the movie and know the story already. But as always the book is much better.
I need to read it.
Great video as always! Never miss a chance to watch new Thoughty2 content. And as always love the mustache!
The launch scene in the movie gives me chills EVERY TIME. I love the Saturn 5!!
so glad you made a video on this story, such a crazy mission
One of my favourite “ no one left behind “ “everyone coming together to save them” stories!

You absolutely nailed telling this story. Well Done.
That was an awesome retelling of a story I've heard several times. Nice work dude!!
Thoughty2 you are absolutely the worlds best truthful story teller that has ever existed. Keep up the great work.
I've seen the movie a few times and watched several documentaries, but your portrayal of this event really gives me a glimpse into what they might have really been thinking.
Here we have an excellent twenty-one-minute historically accurate account of the Apollo 13 mission. Lace with Thoughty2 humor, this was a joy to watch. The movie was very good but for me, this video was better. Thank you for posting.
What an incredible story! They should make a movie out of it!
"They" did! Ron Howard directed it, Tom Hanks played mission commander Jim Lovell. Lovell wrote a book about his experience: Lost Moon. Great movie!
@@marilynwasserman3273 they are clearly being sarcastic
@@marilynwasserman3273 lol bit over your head?
I honestly love this channel. I would have learnt so much more if my teachers were like Thoughty when I went to school
The story of these brave astronauts is definitely a great one. And you tell it really well.
One of my favorite things you do is changing/honing the title for your vids. Excellent channel. Thanks for the invaluable entertainment your videos provide.
Untold story? Didn't they make a movie about it? With Tom Hanks?
Gotta get clicks somehow
Love your videos you literally cover everything that no one knows about.
It's truly a miracle that they got home safe. All the workarounds, all the reconfiguring, all the "making it work" solutions....
I remember the coverage hoopla after the "problem" brought the media attention that the mission SHOULD have had in the first place. I didn't want to see Dick Cavett or The Mod Squad: I wanted to see the astronauts.
Thanks for bringing this to light again.
Could you do a video on ancient history, i love learning about ancient history. Dont get me wrong i still love your videos on other topics too. You are my favorite youtube channel
Well researched Thoughty2. Always thought the fact that the first 2 LEM burns wern't included in the Movie was a serious omission. In the book it was uncertain that there would be enough electrical power to deploy the chutes and then the prolonged radio blackout.
I’m thinking about making a similar video but hacking documentary format
Great video! I find it depressing that heroes today are reality TV 'stars' and the like. These incredible men are at the absolute pinnacle of human achievement, yet I would guess that few people today have even heard of them. It's also depressing that there was so little interest in one of the biggest events in human history that the TV channels weren't interested in broadcasting it. Well, not until it was evident that these great men might die horribly...
Something is wrong with humanity.
Nice one, love your delivery....as always, keep up the good work.
Sir i dont know how u bring such interesting topics everytime but i have to tell u one thing ur doing extremely good u reallly deserve a huge audience 🫡 hats off to ur work lots of love and huge respect from a student from india 🤩🙏
Keep up the good work, I love your videos!!
Enjoyed this one a lot!
Your coverage of this is better than anything else I have ever seen. You’ve brought tears to my eyes. ❤️
This story gives such a great inside on how incredibly smart the people working at NASA really are. Everything needs to be done with such great precision and every small mistake might lead to a certain death
Not sure I'd class Apollo 13 mission as untold. Tom Hanks would have something to say about that?
LoL
Tom hanks is a pea-dough-file
We love the way you tell stories,. And you just gave me new respect for the minds the astronauts have. Thanks for sharing.
Great job sharing this story, whoa
Spacey! Excellent details. And we thought we new the whole story! Thanks Thoughty2!
Always ready for sum thoughty2 vid 😎🤟
For sure 😊
I've been watching and enjoying your content since you first started making videos and have to say you're probably one of my favourite youtubers. Keep up the fantastic an awesome work my friend 👍
Truly, an exceptional story teller.
I know this story inside and out...why am I crying? I'm so happy they made it back alive. Thank you Jesus they were saved and were able to return home to their families. ❤
Pretty sure Jesus didn't have anything to do with them getting back on the planet alive.
You probably cried when bambi died, doesn't make it real.
@@MattyEngland 💋💋💋💋💋💋💋🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍😍😍
A long-time dead sand-crawling hippie whose bones have since turned to dust had no part in saving them at all.
@@gugman9684 You shall see in the end. Meanwhile I'll pray for you. ❤️ 🥰🥰🥰
It's not really untold but still interesting!
Yes
As always I absolutely adore your application of alliteration, Arran.
Thank you Thoughty 🎉
Been listening to Thoughty2 for a while, love the stories, including this one. I have to mention though, it was the USS Iwo Jima, not the USS Iowa Jima.
Ya beat me too it! I'm still chuckling over that one.
I’m not sure if this is an “Untold story” as this is one of NASA’s more famous missions, and definitely the second most famous Apollo mission behind 11
Best part of my week is when Thoughty2 uploads a video!
This story will never cease to amaze me
If you enjoyed this video so much that you need more, History Buffs has an excellent >1hr video over this mission and the movie they made about it. Give him some love if you already haven't. Nick Hodges is a top-tier UA-camr!
I watched the movie and I loved it. This version however is way way better! Thank you. Keep on making mind blowing content.
Great job thanks for sharing 👍😀
8:09 i love how he loses his mustache when he smiles lol
Wow! Who is in charge of those amazing thumbnails? The artwork is EXCEPTIONAL 👏🏾😎
I suspect the amazing thumbnails are from the amazing MidJourney.
Wow. Thank you! You made this true story come alive
Brilliant history telling 🙌🏼
The shocking truth of Apollo 13 mission, they never went to the moon 😂
Has anyone watched Apollo 13 and listened to the Jim lovell commentary? He talks about all of the artistic license that the producers and director took with the movie and in depth explanations of everything going on in the movie as he remembered it during the actual events. Even the guys on the ground who were doing stuff such as Gary senise's playing the one astronaut I can't think of his name working hard in the simulator trying to get his friends back home. It's amazing. Anytime I watch the movie I turn on the lovell commentary
I did listen the the commentary when I had the DVD but the DVD quit playing for some reason and I replaced it with the Blu Ray version which only has Ron Howard's commentary on it.
@@electronron1 awww bummer. It would be highly worth it to get a version with Jim lovell. The one I have also has a second cd which has documentaries about the space program on it as well. A wealth of knowledge about the space program at the time. Which in my opinion is better then than it is now.
Gary Sinise played Ken Mattingly, the original Apollo 13 CM pilot, who was scrubbed from the flight due to exposure to measles. His presence planetside was the MIRACLE that got these men home, since he knew the CM inside and out.
@@ubergeek1968 I couldn't remember the guys name
@@ubergeek1968 Ken Mattingly later got to make 64 lunar orbits on Apollo 16.
Absolute brilliant a pleasure to watch all
The three greatest rescues in history:
1. The astronauts of Apollo 13.
2. The children in the Thailand cave.
3. Timmy from the well (multiple occasions, if the stories are to be believed).
Honourable mention: The corporate depositors of Silicon Valley Bank.
This movie is amazing and your recap of what happened is so good
When they showed up it gave me chills of joy even if it was a movie
I always like your vids at the start because im nearly asleep at the end and in no fit state to start fumbling with my phone keep up the good work mate.
Best feelgood true story ever.
Having been a young boy when this happened... You did a great job of explaining all the issues.
This actually made me tear up near the end. Just an amazing story, and boy, were they lucky
Absolutely precious beautiful story. Unreal. Heroes
I've heard this story many times and watched he movie many times since it came out. This narration about brought tears to my eyes.
Brilliant.... I look forward to every video you post, #legend
Excellent narration, and Excellent story telling ... I didn't even need the video to enjoy the story.
Once again, great story telling! Kudoos!
Awesome. Well done. I'm really familiar with every bit of the story but I still enjoyed your rendition.

Beautiful review 👍
What an amazing story, holy!!! I didn't know all these details!
Yay,needed something to sleep to and also watch fully today later ,thankyou😄
James Lovell 94 and Fred Haise 89 are still with
us today, unfortunately John Swigert died in 1982
aged 51
What a thrilling story! Someone should make this into a movie!
