Apollo 13
We have the crew crossing gantry
for capsule ingress.
Roger that.
Inspired by the late President Kennedy,
in only seven years, America has risen
to the challenge of what he called...
"the most hazardous and dangerous
and greatest adventure...
on which man has ever embarked."
After trailing the Russians for years
with our manned space program,
- We got a short!
- And after that sudden, horrible fire...
on the launchpad
during a routine test...
- that killed astronauts Gus Grissom...
- Fire in the cockpit!
- Ed White and Roger Chaffee...
- Get us outta here!
There were serious doubts that we
could beat the Russians to the moon.
But tonight, a mere 18 months
after the tragedy of Apollo 1...
the entire world watched in awe
as Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin...
landed on the moon.
The big news came
just a moment ago.
Mission Control gave
the spacecraft permission...
to go for
the extravehicular activity...
that is, for the walk
on the moon...
far earlier than anticipated,
Important thing when you're penetrating
the lunar module is your attitude...
and your relative speed.
Let's say this is me in the command
module and this is you...
- All right.
- In the LEM.
That's called a probe.
- Is that true?
- Absolutely.
Tracey, when you feel that thing
slide in, everything's clickin'...
it's like no other
feeling in the world.
- What's the big occasion?
How's it goin' at Mission Control?
It's a nervous time. They're pacin'
around, smokin' like chimneys.
Gene Kranz is gonna have puppies.
Jim Lovell.
- Hi.
- This is Tracey.
- How do ya do, Tracey?
- This is the man.
Gemini 7. Gemini 12. Apollo 8.
They were the first around the moon.
This guy did ten laps.
With one hand on the wheel.
Make yourselves at home.
- Hey, Marilyn.
- Where have you been?
This is the last champagne
in Houston.
- Very good. Very good.
- Everything else all right?
- Everything's on course.
- Looks okay. Hey! Cadet Lovell.
- Hey, Dad.
- Put this on ice. Make sure it's cold.
- You gonna get a haircut this week?
- I'm on vacation.
Oh, get a haircut.
Well, hello there.
- I wouldn't mind bein' up there tonight.
- God, who wouldn't.
Don't worry. Our day's comin'.
They're not gonna cut
- You know, my cousin called.
- Uh-huh.
Asked who we bribed
to get on Jim Lovell's crew.
Yeah.
I told him they wanted
to make sure he got the best.
Well, they got that right.
- What network do we want?
- Come on! Walt! Hey! Put on Walter!
- Walter!
- Jules Bergman!
John, turn it up!
the spacesuits and the boots.
I, uh... I really appreciate you all
coming to this dress rehearsal party...
for my Apollo 12 landing.
Sit down, Conrad.
a moment to recognize...
the exemplary...
hell, damn near heroic...
effort displayed by Neil Armstrong's
backup for this historic moon walk...
and, of course, his crew.
Let's hear it for Jim Lovell,
Ken Mattingly and Fred Haise.
There he is! There he is!
Everybody quiet down!
Hey! Kids!
We had a good touchdown.
We can verify the position of the
opening I ought to have on the camera.
What?
- Think it's too late for him to abort?
- He still has time to get out.
He just needs somebody to wave him off.
Pull up, Neil!
Pull up! Pull up!
Okay, Neil, we can see you
coming down the ladder now.
Look at those pictures. Wow.
I'm, uh, at the foot of the ladder.
The LEM footpads are only depressed
in the surface about, uh...
one or two inches.
