Apollo 13 Part 13 Flight Director Loop (78:00 - 83:00 GET) The crew head away from the moon and prepare for the PC+2 burn using the LMs Descent Propulsion System to speed up their trajectory home. Talk is of consumables and the build up of CO2. The crew also initiate a Passive Thermal Roll to ensure even heating to the spacecraft and Haise stays up whilst his fellow crew mates get some much earned rest in the Command Module.

Lovell with the dagger right at the start when informed of the seismometers recording LM booster impact: "well at least something worked on this flight..." Ouch - I think that captured the moment he was officially *over* this mission (but knowing they were still FAR from out of the woods)... edit: forgot to mention the most important thing - THANKS FOR THESE, LM5 !!!

Don't mind me, just passing by to leave a like and a comment! Thank you again and again LM5

Been waiting for that big 79th hour burn. The long, cold ride back to earth officially begins. Thank you for all the great work, LM-5!

Thank you so much for making this available. There is such a stark contrast between the way these professionals did the job, compared to the "news readers" that do it today.

YES! Woohoo!! Every time another segment comes out I get so excited :D Thanks lm5!!!

Another fantastic job. I've listened to a lot of the Apollo 13 Air-To-Ground, more than any other mission. It was a real nail bitter. BTW NASA was not happy with Lovell's comment but he was correct.

Woke this morning after a very long afternoon yesterday at the dentist, kind of wishing the day would just Go Away! And then . . . Part 13! . . . and I'll have earphones plugged in all day long. For all of the so-called technical "achievements" (speaking as an engineer) this is the Real Thing. Where thee rubber met the road and they really had to N* SH** Get It Right The First Time! In a period where we're hearing increasing amounts of drivel about the use - misuse - of technology (Titan submersible for instance), it's refreshing to remember that there was a time when Real Engineering Really Mattered. The only acceptable thing to do was to get it right. All of the Flight Controllers, all of the Systems Engineers in the "back rooms" as well as at every one of the contractors were pushed past whatever limits they might have thought existed. In particular - and rarely mentioned - are the engineers and technicians who designed and built the Lunar Module. The underlying assumption was "minimalist" - to make everything as light as possible, and as simple as possible consistent with a lunar landing and a brief period on the lunar surface. They got around the limitations of materials, equipment and computer/instrument technology with some really unconventional ideas, never dreaming that this kind of demand would be put upon all of the systems and the spacecraft as a whole. As it turned out, but for their superb work none of this could have been pulled off. Those people deserve far more credit than most people realize, and it was not just one or two, but everyone on that project. Anyway, my sermon for the month. Many thanks, LM5. The part of the return of Apollo 13 was one of the most important in the flight, both the PC+2 burn and working out how to do the impossible with the improbable. So many people's contributions made achieving success not just possible, but as close to certain as anybody could guess. And they just went ahead and did it, in many cases using work-arounds devised as they went. Likewise all of the flight controllers, and of course the crew. Other crews might have done equally well, but they were put on the spot and got it right. My engineering students used to ask, "why do we have to learn all this (unprintable) stuff?" This is why. Q.E.D.

I was just wondering when the next part was coming out!

The team on duty for PC+2: FLIGHT - Gene Kranz RETRO - Bobby Spencer FIDO - Bill Stoval GUIDO - Will Fenner YAW - Steve Bales CONTROL - Dick Thorson TELMU - Bill Peters EECOM - Charlie Dumis GNC - Buck Willoughby FAO - Spence Gardner INCO - Alan Glines PROCEDURES - Jim Fucci

3:02:33 John Young tells Kranz (in his own words) how he's fed up with how long it's taking to set up the PTC

A model of grace under pressure.

Hey guys, these sound great with headphones... like being there.

Can someone tell me what episode that they assemble the CO 2 filter out of the spare parts and duct tape?

Can you explain p-30? And p-40 and tig?

It's been a while since I have had the opportunity to watch any of your videos. After a lot of thinking I have come to the conclusion there would be nobody better than you to ask. Completely unrelated to the video. Any chance you can confirm that at any time or close to splashdown time that the Orion capsule of artemis 1 may have had a trajectory over the southern tip of Africa? Upon reentry that is.

Just wondering: Since the material you use is public domain, and vastly improved upon by you, why don't you monetize?
