Guenter Wendt (the guy shaking Jim’s hand) was affectionately known as the “Pad Fuhrer” for his strict discipline and following the rules on the launch pad. And he was probably the most respected person around there who wasn’t an astronaut! Wally Schirra said he would never have climbed into Apollo 7 if Guenter wasn’t there overseeing it!

2:26 I just learned about that guy who tightens the straps and talks with an accent. That's Günter Wendt. A German-born American pad crew supervisor. He worked on pretty much ALL of the manned space flight missions. He's the last guy the astronauts would see before the hatch was closed. He's probably the guy who was most respected by the astronauts. Look it up. That's an amazing detail just to hear that short line said with a German accent. This movie is a masterpiece.

I keep forgetting that Mary Haise was pregnant with her youngest child when this all happened. Also the whole thing with the vest was what Kranz's was known for. He liked wearing three pieced suits so his wife would make him a vest for every mission and this started all the way back in the Gemini mission days. So Kranz not wearing a new vest for mission would be a big deal.

There is a foreboding quality to this scene involving the hatch to Apollo 13. The beginning of the movie, we see the Apollo 1 fire and the astronauts couldn’t get out because of the sealed hatch And when Apollo 13 is being secured for launch, we get another shot of the updated hatch. Locking the astronauts in the rocket. Like this ship will either save your life, or be your grave.

Strange but true: Even though we could go to the moon in 1969, we could not today, even if we wanted to use the exact same rocket we used back then. The rockets are gone, the factories that made the rockets and all the other parts for it are gone. All those trained workers that worked in those factories are either retired or dead. Even many of the blueprints and designs for all those parts are either gone or rolled up in some drawer, half torn up by now. Basically, the people and the knowledge for that type of technology is now gone. It's incredible when you think about it.

@Geographus666 3 ай бұрын

Happens to all complex technology that you stop building for 50 years which involves a lot of manual tweaking by experienced engineers, because you can put almost everything into blueprints except experience. I recall a story that Jaguar wanted to make a very limited anniversary edition of one of their cars from 40 or 50 years ago and they could not get the windshield right whatever they tried. They had to get an old glassmaker out of retirement in order to make them a few of them exactly to spec. If that guy would not have been alive, they would have been left with the choice to either build it not to original specs, to keep trying to get it right or simply don't make it at all.

Can someone tell me what the red tube was for? I get the blue was obviously oxygen, but was the red carbon dioxide or waste disposal before they got into the ship?

@Geographus666 8 ай бұрын

It's a circuar system, the blue is the intake, which get's oxygen from the life-support system, while the red takes it back to it to filter out the CO2. The command module pilot's suit only has one set of them, while the the suit of the lunar module pilot and the commander (the two who would land on the moon) had an additonal set, so if one of their life support systems developed an error, they could put the two suits togeter and use the remaining life support system to get back to the lander. The suits are connected to the "suitcases", which are basically mini-versions of the life-support system, because the suits are closed up prior to launch so that they can be put under a pure oxygen atmosphere in order to get rid of the nitrogen in their blood. This was becasue the capsule runs at 0.3 ATM of pure oxygen, and if they would not get rid of the excess nitrogen before that, they could get decompression sickness.
