To the Moon... and Back? | 13 Factors That Saved Apollo 13 - Part 1 | Free Documentary History 

Imagine being one of these 3 men & you have to sit & listen to nutjobs say you were never in space, it's fake, etc etc. Great doc. One of the craziest stories you will ever hear.

I remember this incident quite well, it was one of those moments in time when you never forget where you were and what you were doing.

Jim was always one of my favorite astronaut

I’ve stood right next to the Saturn V rocket in Houston. To say that it’s huge is a major understatement.

The Crew of Apollo 13 proved Survival is the best success!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ WOW!!!!! BEST APOLLO 13 documentary I have ever seen!!!! 5 STARS!!!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great documentary

I'm too young to have witnessed this firsthand bit I find it fascinating the computer that powered these missions was less powerful than my phone.

I stumbled upon this and learned a lot how these design of the Command Module, Service Module and Lunar Excursion Module contributed to the astronauts' safe return. Very educating.

fabulous..

I can remember apollo 13 I was 9 Years old I was with my Brothers and Sisters and with my Father and we all were seeing it on TV at the time.

In profile Jim Lovell looks just like Kevin Costner. Hollywood missed a trick there!

Wonderful piece of fiction ❤

I didn't know that Britishers worked in the Apollo program, except for Cliff Charlesworth. He was the flight director for the even-numbered Apollo missions. Gene Kranz directed the odd-numbered missions.

Pinnacle of challenges...

Note to self ‘ stay away from the number 13 ‘

28:39 A bit of context that is often misreported and I'm glad this documentary points out is how the lunar lander suddenly became a lifeboat. Despite most dramatic depictions this wasn't entirely improvised. Considering the lander had to be able to operate separately even on a normal mission the transfer of a lot of command was already on the books anyway. The books also had some emergency procedures for quicker transfer and this kind of use of the lander. Mind you those procedures only prepared for partial failure of the command module and not the cascading set of troubles during Apollo 13 since it was thought the lander was already over-engineered.

The duct tape could actually plug up a hole in the ship from a meteor. Even a pretty large hole. That would make a good duct tape commercial.

Great documentary, thank you. I didn’t realise there were British engineers on the programme?

25:35 Nova would have been the most Kerbal solution.

It’s a testament to Ron Howard’s Apollo 13 film that if you watch it, you’ll already know pretty much everything in this documentary. While this is a good documentary for people who don’t know much about it, I didn’t learn anything new.

Never say that it can't go wrong!

Imagine the deadly results, if Apollo 8, on which Jim Lovell was also part of the crew, had gone 200,000 miles toward the Moon and suffered the same oxygen tank incident, without a LM "lifeboat". What a tragic counterfactual that would be.

That's what teamwork is all about.First it was 3 for all.Then it was all for 3.

Hi I love space, my name is Colin and because a lot of people say we have not been to the moon I think if you put a red light on the moon at a day and time for people to see ❤😊

I could only say it is very good movie!

Question to Ron Howard "how do you know you are flying wirh a dead elephant on your back in zero gravity ?

good vid to many ads

I was only 10 years old when Paul 13 was there

4:26 I was waiting for him to say, ". . . but unfortunately he didn't have a neck injury."

Really well put together! If you have a patreon or something else, I'd be happy to throw some money your way!

Do the astronauts control the staging? That is do they flip a switch to actuate it, at the right time. Or is it automatically controlled? Also im imagining since engine 5 had a problem. They burned the remaining 4 for a longer impulse to achieve the correct velocity for the next stage.

Bringing all the engineers they fired but nobody talks about that

How did they not cast Kevin Costner as Jim Lovell in the movie? Looks like they could be brothers when viewed side on.

"Houston, we've had a problem" is correct. The movie got it wrong.....on purpose.

Is it decáde or décade? Can anyone explain the first audioclip? Kennedy declares the intention to land on the moon, but in his speech he puts emphasis on the a in 'decade', but here the emphasis is on the first syllable. This made me distrust this documentary. Can anyone explain?

Quite impressive for modern apes.

A had an uncle that worked for NASA,a cousin that works at the Pentagon,and my dad helped draw out the scematics or blueprints,for the F-16,in the Air force. I've done nothing great,myself except, survive a massive stroke at 35.... So, couldnt.

when they landed on the moon the camera man got a beer and belly warmer ΑΩ

So they could have maintained regular water consumption but ran out five hours before they return to Earth? Why didn't they just do that and go 5 hours without water? Obviously I'm missing something here

The real question I have, did anyone ever stir the tanks again?

isnt it interesting how many people mispronounce Werner von Braun's name? Braun is pronounced brown. but the tv adverts in the 80s got the pronunciation wrong for the razor brand -Braun, pronouncing it like the food - brawn. now it seems everyone gets it wrong. fascinating eh?

Why didn’t they use the oxygen from their space suits till it was depleted?

Weird he says if it had hapoened a few hours before it wouldnt have worked...the worst thing imaginable would be if it hapoened when lovell and haies were on the moon

Is it just me or does Anthony Errington look like a walrus William Shakespeare? 😀🇮🇪🇺🇲

Probably a great video, but the ads being every 5 minutes and twice as loud as the main content made sure I'll never know. Worse even than a football game.

That was huge! I am just amazed! What a phenomenal achievement considering each obstacle they had to face was life or death & in the environment of space...truly remarkable & even years later it gives me goose bumps & a deep sense of pride & elation to witness what humans can achieve if we work together as a team for the greater good...no solution for a problem is unachievable. Yet here we are 53 years later & the human race is still defined & segregated & separated by geography your skin color & class systems & the $....yet what remains & what connects us all & what will always remain & connect us all...is what we all have in common...we are all human beings with a human spirit a human heart & a human soul living on one planet...we are all one. i wish you all peace & love...one love.

Astronaut/Apollo Mission/Saturn 5 rocket, driving a corvette it's 1970 this guy was a true rock star living the dream but to bad it was apollo13t he did a drive by like apollo 8 smh

The amount of ads is out of this world ...

Space is cold AF, but ya gotta pack water for cooling, that’s bananas, girl

10,000lbs of fuel a second

Oh, conspiracy theorists.. 🤦‍♂️

Lots of Alex Jones fans on here

@32:53 OH DEAR LORD ! Warm us before you show something like that !

As much as I like Ron Howard's "Apollo 13" movie, one of my favorites, I kinda laugh at how inaccurate, exaggerated and sometimes completely made up the events are depicted. But in Ron's defense, He said he was not making a documentary but a drama. So remember, any time you see a Hollywood movie start with " based on true events", you'll get very little facts and a bunch of bunkum and balderdash 😉

Why do they pronounce it Gemenee ??? I thought it was pronounced Gemen-eye ? Gemeni.

over hyped😢

Wasn't Apollo 11 the mission that the three went to moon? Why say Apollo 13? With all the conspiracy theories why this?

The truth about Apollo 13 is that from the very beginning the mission was to crash the spacecraft into the surface of the moon to record seismic readings to determine if the moon was actually a hollowed out artificial satellite or spacecraft put in orbit about the earth at the time the earth was terraformed to support life. On a previous mission, seismic instruments were left on the moon for Apollo 13 to later crash the spacecraft into the moon close by those instruments. The moon rang like a gong for hours.

STRANGELY REWRITING APOLLO 13 HISTORY: Like many others at that time, i was glued to the tube watching all the developments in the Apollo 13 mission. i recall that after the astronauts had turned the ship around so that the LEM (the acronym they used back then for "Lunar Excursion Module," changed to just "LM" now) would be facing forward, and had jettisoned the Service Module, astronaut Lovell manually fired the LEM's repurposed (landing) rockets while sighting the moon in one of the LEM's triangular windows to get the angle of the burn right (at least that's what Lovell said he did, after they were back on Earth). Today the version is that the LEM's computer was reprogrammed from moon-landing to the new job of Earth-orbit insertion. (As far as i recall, there was no computer guiding the descent stage rockets of the LEM, since they were meant to be manually controlled during descent to the moon's surface. i remember the astronauts had a lot of trouble in the practice runs on Earth MANUALLY piloting the LEM (computers were too slow and inefficient to do such real-time control in those days).) Let's get real NASA -- first you tell us a story that Lovell manually fired the Earth orbit re-insertion burn (which had to be super-precise and only the service module was up for that job), now to apparently try to fix that unlikeliness -- magically there is a (previously non-existent) computer doing that extremely accurate burn. But here's something else i vividly do remember -- just before re-entry into the atmosphere when all communication would be lost, Walter Cronkite (the TV commentator for all the space flights), obviously trying to prepare the viewing audience for the inevitable loss of the astronauts -- compared the possibility of getting the re-entry angle correct (rather than bouncing off into space or burning up in the atmosphere) -- to hitting the thickness of a piece of paper 20 feet away (meaning that it was extremely unlikely) ! Yet they made a near perfect splashdown right on target, with the LEM containing the atomic device they were going to detonate on the moon, safely splashing down and sinking into the deepest trench in the Pacific ! Nice job, eh ? Seems those UFOs (sorry, UAPs now) would have been pretty mad if it had exploded on the moon as planned (which they consider their domain). Guess we'll just have to chalk it all up to NASA living up to the true meaning of its acronym -- 'Never A Straight Answer' ;-)

We never walked on the moon

"To the movie set and back" Stanley Kubrick

Bored useless commentary we know already. Anything current to report on

I'm 🌞 I make shuttle's rockets only cost two dollars, so don't try me I have pictures snapshots of shuttle's rockets by mind ok

Lots of Englishmen for an American project lol

Chinese Communists tv, if you don't get your act together no more to move to move for you no more free internet Alibaba

i wouldn't believe anything Kennedy says -and just the same Nixon

2:33 look at the grill on this sob, holyyyy sh*tat

Your joking, fake it to make it.

Why is the U.S. launch of Apollo 13, documentary, being told by English blokes?

It's not SWIGert, it's pronounced swEYEgert with a long I. Good lord, don't you do any research?

Space isnt even real yall

All b s lie's at the time u couldn't go anywhere namaste

Just use a reptilian space craft like u did to get to the moon namaste
