This is such a great series of videos! I remember when they first came out, it feel like yesterday. You did a great job retelling this harrowing story and your visuals/examples allow for even the layperson to understand exactly what happened.

BBC #13minutestothemoon is an amazing podcast that came out a couple years ago. Part one covers the Apollo missions as a whole. Part two is a nearly seven hour long linear story of Apollo 13. Enjoy!

The film was such a success because when it actually happened we were given very few details. I remember the landing well because it was the first live broadcast I saw in color and it took far too long to get radio contact.

As a kid that was obsessed with the Apollo 13 movie back in the day, I'm amazed how much of the recordings played here match perfectly to the film's dialog. I am aware of many of the liberties they took for drama, but it's impressive how close they got in some areas too.

"Now the crew of Apollo 13 did make it back alive - after some more harrowing adventures" -> I haven't watched part 2 and 3 yet so ignore me if they address this, but they *look* like they address the causes of the disaster more than the events after the accident itself. When I realized this I thought "Duh - what did you think, that Thunderfoot was going to redo a step-by-step of the whole thing like the movie ? They're different media - it makes sense that he's interested in exploring the whys and wherefores of specific events more than taking you onto a rollicking adventure narrative. And the later events you remember as high points of the movie - the decision to go around the Moon vs come back, the CO2 thing, the 20 amps thing, the doing the last burn by sight thing - are likely either not that interesting to analyze, or straight-up didn't really happen or not in an interesting way" (for example IIRC the CO2 thing *was* made more dramatic in the movie, IRL it was a problem they saw and fixed well in advance of it becoming life-threatening). HAVING SAID THAT - on the off chance that I'm wrong, that you do think the rest of the "harrowing adventures" could make a video or two and it's just not a priority or something you've found a good hook for and audience interest might matter... This is one person who'd enjoy seeing this video's approach of "explaining what was physically going on and why from primary sources & engineering explanations" applied to the rest of the journey.

There was a backup for igniting the ascent engine: the astronauts could pull a string which would open both valves and thus ignite the engine. Fairly cleverly designed indeed!

Incredible and inspiring. I would have been terrified and half panicking. Isn't it a bit weird that they switch flight controllers in the middle? I understand that this must be a really stressful position and it may make sense not to exhaust one person to the point where they start making mistakes, but the new controller doesn't sound like he's really up to speed...

<<@gauloiseguy
says :
These missions where a marvell of engineering IMO. The board 'computer' which turned Newton into a tool. The solid booster which launched the astronauts from the moon back into lunar orbit. Not because a solid fuel booster was a new thing but because they chose the engine that couldn't be tested before it was being used. Amazing they made it happen in that age and all in all not that weird we didn't go back yet.

Elon would have sorted this within 5 minutes. What on earth were NASA doing? Surely an inept discussion of new technologies to a sycophantic crowd without any scientific questioning whatsoever would have saved these astronauts. If Elon were running things we would all be living on the moon like Kings! Kings I say!!! How many exclamation marks do you need to realise the certainty of what I say. He HAS the most manufacturing knowledge of anyone on the planet. Why fly there anyway? We could sky cable our way there and this would also power all earth and moon power demands through tension dynamo generators. Don't tell the American military though or they will ban this technology as it will hand power back from our lizard overlords (who I love by the way in case you are listening .....). I may have gone too far... You will know I speak the truth if I suddenly go missi.....................

I have a request; please cover the technical details of how they used the LM battery to restart the CM? It was a big part of how they made it back. As an electrical engineer, I'm very curious, but it's probably too boring for most people. However, the details might be interesting to most space enthusiasts.

How did they not realize o2 tank 1 was leaking sooner?! So many things point to that being possible yet no one suggests it. They didn't consider it when they heated the tank and the pressure loss increased. That tells you there's a leak.
