Situation Critical: Apollo 13

[AroundSun]

Wouldn't they have just staged the moon landing for these guys? LoL

[MichaelCox]

Well, excluding apollo 14-17, he wasn't too far off with that quote. I wonder how long it will be before private spaceflight reaches the moon?

[alecsaify]

see whe they say i look a frd haise he would do unrine draine what would make a shake in the spacecraft but when the explosin happend fred haise did nothin

[GMAMETHY]

Ooh!! Pause at 0:58 , its sooo nice

[headkick]

i hop day tod diy

[beatcat22]

Interesting to compare this to other posts. The audio here of the actual dialog has been cleaned

up PERFECTLY......this is the majesty and genius of a class operation like National Geographic. Perfection is the MINIMUM standard. Fuck. I wish the people who do National Geographic were running the country.

[WileeC]

I was under the impression that Russia was the 1st country to place someone into space. The U.S. raced to place someone on the moon because, at the time, it was a swinging dick contest and we could not be perceived as being behind the USSR in anything. I also believe the fact that most all of Germany's scientists and engineers were allowed to defect to the U.S.,in exchange for them working for us, played a HUGE roll in our space program.They were the pioneers in rocketry long before we were.

[Mahuks]

That's correct- Yuri Gargarin (or however you spell his name) was the 1st man in space courtesy of Sergei Korelov who was the Russian's chief rocket engineer until the early 60's (I think) when he died of a heart attack. Gargarin died sonn after in a plane crash.

[youvebeenthunderstru]

Thankfully, the program went on, with Apollo 14.

[applesweeter]

Dear All,

I have some questions about psychology:

(1) Why do we enjoy space travel and flying?

(2) Why do we have a perception that space is closer related with America?

(3) Why do we relate space and aviation with Americans' culture and values?

(4) Why do we so curious what is in the sky?

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE for your creative ideas and brainstorm!!! :)

[EATPROTEINgetHUGeRus]

Americans are the true pioneers of space time travel.

[Xcr0n]

wow the real james lovell look nothing like tom hanks :P

[nbalover20]

maybe not know when his old and rinkly think how he looked back in 1971 i think he could be toms lost older brother haha lol

[GMAMETHY]

I love planets and space~

[NASAlover14]

Me too.

[TadSpencer222]

I don't understand why NASA put people into space and risk their lives. It's a waste of cold, hard cash. Might as well buy a Rolls and drive it off a cliff.

[hamieli]

You might as well throw your f*cking computer just straight out thru the window and never come back to youtube.

These kind of challenges push the humankind to invent more and more stuff to make our lives much more easier and comfortable.

If yo uhave that little of respect for science just do the humankind of favor and take a full metal jacket up your head twat!

JEEZ I hate people like this too much, sorry for the offensive rant (NOT!).

[ojamapogi]

to study more about space and our solar system i think,science is fun

[fanofrhymeswithstar]

Well Tad, whether you like it or not, you have benefitted greatly as has everyone else from the technologies that were developed from the space program. The computer you use to surf the internet is one such, obvious, example. I think hamieli is spot on with his comment!

[wizardfingers]

or, better yet, invest it in something useful until we can get our own planet sorted out

[TonyFirelli]

TadSpencer 222 is right ur right dude

[MidgardEagle]

I don't understand why people early in the 20th century put peoples' lives at risk trying to fly. It was a gigantic risk of cold, hard cash. Everyone knows airplanes can't be used for anything, and if God had meant for us to fly, he'd have given us wings.

Eh.

[vas667]

aeronautics rocks....................

[visceralgristle]

Dude! It's James Burke! The Connections guy!

[jakeman52]

00:12 it says james lovell

[noximputesta]

Jim and james are the same shit. like bill and will.

Jim Carey's real name is actually James Carey.

[tomanyasses]

if nasa would let more people get involved we could do lot more in space, how about ten bucks put names on ship, from there more and more people would get involved instead of spending money on hollywood crap movies

[XmegaPresident]

Also the USA is wasting millions in sports...

[aranarthspanish]

...and trillions in the military

[billthrill1]

Huh? You do realize sports are run privately. So, when the Boston Red Sox make money, it's not from the government, it's from the fans.

[godwhyisthistaken]

jim lovell happy b day

[moonwine]

Human never land on the moon.

In doubt search youtube for "moon landing conspiracy"

[speedhighway]

lol ok idiot

[miroslavsmith]

wow, i saw the film of apllo 13 for the first time at 5 years old.

[Chev427BB]

Wow, I didn't realize how close the real Jim Lovell's voice is to Tom Hanks'.

[rpmartin01]

Ron Howard's Apollo 13 movie was 100% accurate. Just like Oliver Stone's JFK. Just kidding conspiracy theory pieces of shit. Can't wait until we go back. Thanks alot Richard Nixon for killing the space program.

[Vooba]

How did he kill the space program

[rpmartin01]

Originally there were plans to have moon landings up to Apollo 20, they stopped at Apollo 17 due to Nixon cutting the program. He also eliminated dollars for going to Mars, we were on path to land by 1985.

[Vooba]

How did he kill the space program

[100Kasrkin]

with a bazooka

[Vooba]

Lol quite, quite

[Seosanimhin]

Um...this mission didn't land on the moon...that's the point. *shakes head and laughs*

[Autobahn2006]

the moon landing was faked

[zloben9000]

eyes are SCARY !

[jacko39]

more...more....MORE!!!!

[irish89055]

that's right, didnt' weave all over like the BS in Ron Howards movie..

[loperspest]

still, that made for a more exciting MOVIE.

[irish89055]

not if you know what really happened... those retro rockets quickly got things back on course... yeah hollywood.. didnt mean to be so hard on Ron.. and Apollo 13 is a good movie..

[airforce82]

like loperspest said, its only ment to be a movie, there are very few that are accurate. only one i can think of that is historically accurate is the Dambusters! got to take films like this with a pinch of salt uaually.

[Carsrus225]

can u post the whole thing?

[rimband123]

got this taped it is a great documentary!!!

[bobctx]

that is very suffered low fuel!
