General Discussion / Other Apollo Missions

« on: May 24, 2021, 01:34:09 am »

I tried looking around briefly if this question had already been asked and answered but didn't see anything.

Is there a chance other Apollo missions will be added to this site?

I'd love to hear the Apollo 8 mission since it is the first trip to the moon. Apollo 12 would be awesome too with the lightning strike after take off and hearing John Aaron in action earning his "steely eyed missile man" name. And I'm sure all the missions have amazing parts of them that I'm not aware of.
Thanks for this amazing site!

Apollo 13 Moments of Interest / Re: 119:54:13 CapCom Kerwin is told about a thermal survival blanket in the CSM!

I heard this too. I was surprised and keep listening for this to be passed up. I have yet to hear the suggestion on air to ground. I wonder why Kerwin didn't communicate this to the crew since they were so cold.

Don't know who this is either, but he calls his wife to touch base. She decides to go to Mary's house (assuming Haise-Fred's wife) for an hour "unless things get bad."

Don't know who this is, but it seems his wife's name is Louise. Alan Shepard's wife was named Louise but I believe he wasn't at mission control when the problem occurred.
"Oh, Lord. Is it tight?" -Wife
"No, no, no, it's alright." -Controller
"Does it really, I mean for real?" -Wife
"...yeah, it's a little tight." -Controller
