Ever heard jet pilots go down? Or heli pilots? They've been trained for every contingency, and know every failure that could possibly occur. They've been through THOUSANDS of simulations, in preparation for literally anything and everything that could go wrong. They have already experienced their fears a million times. Thats why they aren't shitting their pants.

Calm under pressure, that's just typical for military trained test pilots. They know one thing is certain, if one panics in an emergency situation they're going to die. Period.

To be able to do dangerous jobs, one has to surrender to a certain extent. You cannot do the job if you allow your fears to consume you. You have to carry on as if everything's exactly the way it's supposed to be, even if it isn't. That's what makes a professional.

I can remember very well the collective sigh of relief upon the sight of those parachutes and the spacecraft suspended beneath them. I feel so sorry for those who weren't around to experience the early days of our space program. It was an incredibly exciting and fascinating time.

[@marshallcello1128]

union310 Logic does indeed fit neatly into the equation, but not in the way that you mean it. The science behind how spacecraft reenter the atmosphere is extremely well documented. It is employed with ALL space missions that involve a return to Earth, even unmanned ones such as the Soviet Luna crafts, which brought back lunar samples in the 1970s. As for "today's advancement," in the area of computers, there has been tremendous advancement, but in rocketry, not so much. The manned air speed record that was set by the X-15 (4,520 miles per hour) in the 1960s remains unbeaten today. In fact, _no modern plane even comes close._ The Saturn V rocket which was used for the Apollo missions was the largest, most powerful rocket ever launched into space. The Space X Falcon Heavy is powerful, but still can’t touch the Saturn Five. NASA is certainly ready to back to the Moon, what they lack is the money.

I wonder if the capsule was still piping hot from re-entry. The water would cool it quickly, but there was a lot of metal that must have been extremely hot for a little while after it splashed down. Cool video. What an intense few days that must have been for anyone alive at the time following this accomplishment.

[@louiscisse2230]

That's what I was thinking! The heat shield must have absorbed the heat and therefore been super hot! I suppose the travel down under the parachute and the water cooled it

[@snviper]

+Louis Cissé As far as I understand it the heat shield ablates and doesn't really store the heat for long. If it did it would be a bad insulator. I wouldn't be surprised if you could touch it right after splashdown.

[@naperdood]

Robin Frischkopf good call. I've seen videos of where they take the tile from the space shuttle, ale them red hot with a blowtorch, and seconds later, while still red hot in the center, someone is able to hold the thing. I'm not sure the name for it, but they absorb massive amounts of heat and then dissipate that heat extremely rapidly.... which is why they were designed for shuttle reentry. Cool stuff alla around.

Actually, inside of the capsule, even after reentry and splashdown was still cold. So a diver opening the hatch could feel a wave of cold air coming from inside.

Too Cool!! Can't believe I've never watched it before.

[@sgtgiggles]

It was a damn good ship. The only reason why it failed was because the service module was dropped just 2 inches when it was being built. It messed up some of the piping in one of the oxygen tanks. They call it an unlucky spacecraft, but that’s the damn luckiest spacecraft in my opinion.. it still held together all that way in space

[@willoughbykrenzteinburg]

The oxygen tank was dropped; not the entire service module. The tank was dropped before it was ever put into the service module for Apollo 13. If the entire service module were dropped - - even just two inches - - it would have been a major issue and there would have been extensive checks for potential damage of a LOT of components. That's not what happened. Just the tank was dropped - - prior to Apollo 10.

The world held its breath untill they saw the command module with all 3 main chutes open. I was at school watching it and I never new 14yr old kids could be that quiet. We was watching history.

[@MikeY-hv8hj]

So where did they store these 3 chutes and 3 full grown men with large space suits, plus other equipment and ancient computers, etc. This thing is the size of a tin can!! The parachutes are very large with long cords. Why didn't they burn up upon re-entry? Why did they never show you the tin can entering the earth atmosphere and burning? After all they knew where they were going to land cuz they were there waiting, so they could have easily filmed them burning through the atmosphere. Nothing but a hoax for all you spacetards and Apollotards. Wake up you dummies! Notice at 41:29 there is a sudden edit with the footage completely changing. This is where they put the actornots into the tin can so they could show you them getting out into the raft. If you can't see the hoax you should be in an insane asylum!

I have seen Apollo 13 at the tourist building at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida and took a picture of it. I see the burnt black marks as I have in the picture.This was in July of 1977.Hanging on the wall was the armrest from the LM,I am still wondering why I didn't think to take a picture of that.I have also seen Apollo 11as it toured the country in the state capital of each state,in my case it was in Richmond,Va. and was in December of 1970.I didn't take a camera on the several times I saw it.It didn't seem to be as badly burnt as 13.I don't know why,but that is the way I remember it.I also saw a few small moon rocks. All of this points to it being real and no evidence can be shown to have been a hoax. Hoaxters seem to speak at a kinder garden level and I have followed the space program since Sputnik. Step by step it was all very real including our failures and in some it cost us lives. Thank God not Apollo 13.Apollo 1,Challenger and Columbia were not faked.

Ok, there's something I don't get. I understand why Houston didn't applaud until the chutes deployed, there was serious concern that they'd malfunction. But according to the film _Apollo 13_ they stayed in radio blackout for much longer than anticipated. There's even an audio clip of Walter Cronkite saying this in the movie. And I've read accounts that state the same thing, that 13's was the longest blackout ever. But here you can hear the capsule respond right on time. I know the movie changed things for dramatic effect, but still. Was there a long silence before the astronauts responded or not? Fantastic post btw!
