April 14, 20205 yr I never knew about this part of Apollo 13's flight. 'At least something worked': Watch Apollo 13's crew hail a rocket crash on the moon After piloting a crippled spacecraft around the far side of the moon, the crew of NASA's stricken Apollo 13 received a rare bit of good news on April 14, 1970. It turns out, they'd made a moonquake. A new video of Apollo 13's flight, NASA has pieced together synchronized video, audio and imagery to chronicle the moment when Mission Control radioed the success of the mission's seismic experiment. That experiment, which crashed an upper stage booster from Apollo 13's Saturn V rocket into the moon, was detected by a seismometer delivered to the lunar surface months earlier by the Apollo 12 crew.

April 26, 20205 yr That’s right. We don’t talk about transformer movies, with or without DSotM in the title.
April 15, 20214 yr 51 years ago, at these very moments... https://apolloinrealtime.org/13/ I freaking love these "real-time" of the Apollo missions. Edited April 15, 20214 yr by Dutch
