Apollo 13

[Liz]

How nice was that ... Apollo 13 and a bottle of champers, what else could a gal want? Happy New Year!!

[Astroman (Andrew Wall)]

Yep watched this again, still gets me at entry interface

[Ric]

Those guys were definitely the "Right Stuff"

[Suzy]

Whoa, I had forgotten I'd recorded it! Must watch soon, for the upteenth time as I'm sure with the rest of you'll. Great movie and Tom Hanks did a fantastic job. This movie has great sentiment for me as just before my father passed away, and whilst he was very ill, he was determined to get out and see this movie at the cinema with me.

yep an all time favourite

I just loved the way they worked out all the trajectories etc. with slide rules and pen and paper...the way it used to be done!

Imagine what they could have done with our simple laptop computing power!!!



Yep, great movie about a great event (not the problem, but how they fixed it)
Geez, I still remember it happening!

Ditto Ken I was only eight at the time, but I remember it very clearly. My whole family was worried sick for the fellas stuck in the tin can. A great success for NASA, even though the mission was lost.
