The Miraculous Survival Of The Apollo 13 Astronauts | Journey To The Stars
Вставка

- Apollo 13 was the 7th mission in the Apollo Space Program, and was supposed to be the third manned landing on the moon. This wouldn’t be the case however, as 2 days into the mission a serious fault in the craft would not only cut short the mission's aims but would also jeopardise the lives of the 3 astronauts. What would follow would be a tense 5 days as mission control did everything they could to get the crew home.

My heart leapt when I realised this was presented by the great and much missed Sir Patrick Moore. RIP to an absolute legend!
I cried my eyes out when they made it back safely
I watch them all take off I lived in Titusville
Didn't James Burke also do coverage for British TV... fairly sure live?
14:22 It's incorrect to describe Apollo 13 as the 13th Apollo mission. There were in rough chronological order 10 unmanned Saturn I missions, 5 unmanned Saturn IB flights, and 2 unmanned Saturn V launches. Apollo 1 can arguably be called a manned flight, even though it never lifted off. Apollo 2 and 3 did not exist. Apollo 4 and 6 were the two aforementioned unmanned Saturn V launches. Apollo 5 was one of the earlier unmanned Saturn IB missions. Apollo 7 and onward were manned Saturn V missions. There's no reasonable way of counting them that makes Apollo 13 the "13th Apollo mission.
For completeness, Apollo 7 thru 17 were the manned Saturn V missions, two of which (7 & 9) were Earth-orbital. Skylab accounted for three more launches of Apollo Command & Service modules, but weren't considered part of the Apollo program proper. The final manned flight of Apollo hardware was Apollo-Soyuz
I got to meet Jim Lovell when i was deployed. He came on a USO tour and meeting one of my childhood heros was so awesome.
And my Dad went 2 hygh scool with neil😅
Anyone know what piece of music is used for the themes??
One of our country's biggest achievements the fact that they lived to tell about it. Our country was great. Hopefully it will be again. God bless America 😊
Unless you're a foolish Trumper, you know that our country has always been great.
@@stargazer5784 Yes, but only because you didn't mind shitting all over the native Americans in the US of A, treated your slaves like crap, and still do treat blacks/slaves like crap.
Wouldn't it have been nice if the US of A hadn't been such pricks to a good part of the world, bulldozing all and sundry to rape, pillage and plunder the resources for your own profit a leave f--- all, but broken people and poverty. Look at your spiteful behaviour to Cuba, what did they do, except want to be Communist, regardless of what your flavour might be. Christ, it was run by the Mafia.
People get pissed off after a while, and the irony is, you guys just don't f---ing get it. Far q US of A. Keep looking at stars, so you don't expose yourself to reality.
Nothing personal, enjoy your day.
At 12 years old I wasn't able to Appreciate the seriousness and amazing outcome of that day.
God is so good
The big screw up in the video is showing James Lovell at a mission control console when he was in the spacecraft at the time.
How serious of a problem is that?
When UA-cam forces the wiki link is in the description, you know something isn't right.
It means that flerfers and moon landing hoaxers will likely be attracted to the video and then leave idiotic misinformation in the comments section.
This makes no sense
Why?
@@stargazer5784 we're trying to convincee I wasn't raped and extorted while looking for my brother children grandchildren Vehicle house equipment supplies and money that were stolen through identity theft perjury fraud and coercion. We have 11.4 million people on Earth we need to rescue from homelessness and that's still leaving everyone else in worse shape than that!
Yuri Gagarin was NOT the first Cosmonaut put into space. SPARK, you really should do better research before publishing old Soviet propaganda in your videos.
Yes, he was. It is a known fact to the whole world.
The Cold War is over buddy, you can relax now
@@pedrosegundo8109 The first Soviet cosmonaut in space was Vladimir Ilyushin. Just like many other "known fact(s) to the whole world," the story about Yuri Gagarin was Soviet propaganda at its very best. Yes, he did go into space, before Americans did even, but he was NOT the first Soviet cosmonaut in space. I challenge you to look it up and do your own research, since it was released some years after the fall of the USSR.
@@kerrychase4839There was a conspiracy theory spread starting in the 1960s that Vladimir Ilyushin was the first man in space but there is no evidence to support it, according to NPR, which I trust as a source and I'm a trained, experienced journalist so I know how to pick my sources. I looked it up after I read your comment though because I do know that propaganda from the USSR was very real and some of it may still be the "official" story for those things that haven't been corrected on a wide spread basis since the fall of the USSR. However, just like the govt spread false ideas so too did others who opposed it for their own purposes. This "alternative fact" sounds like one of those instances. Just because the govt of the USSR committed all kinds of atrocious acts and spread false truths that doesn't mean they lied about everything
