Favorite Apollo Mission
"Houston, we have a problem." This famous (but erroneous) quote from the Apollo 13 space mission has become a popular way of indicating the emergence of an unforeseen problem.
The Apollo program was an American human spaceflight program carried out by NASA, which succeeded in landing the first humans on the Moon from 1969 to 1972. There have been 17 Apollo missions in total.

This film recreates the tensions that were felt not only by the three astronauts, Armstrong, Aldrin and Collins, but also by their families and by the teams of technicians training to deal with anything that could go wrong.Apollo 11 (TV movie)

MuellerAPOLLO 11: THE UNTOLD STORY aka FIRST ON THE MOON: THE UNTOLD STORY One-Hour Special for Discovery Science Channel / five When Neil Armstrong first set foot on the moon in July 1969, Apollo 11 was hailed as the supreme triumph of American technology. But behind the flag waving lies a very different story: the untold account of how close the mission came to disaster. Now, nearly forty years later, men on that mission reveal what really happened on the first voyage to the moon. It's a tale of how primitive computer technology, coupled with human errors and mechanical failures, nearly caused the tragic loss of the crew.Apollo 11

NASA must devise a strategy to return Apollo 13 to Earth safely after the spacecraft undergoes massive internal damage putting the lives of the three astronauts on board in jeopardy. - This is not a dramatization. It is the true story with real historical footage of how all sectors of NASA--including astronauts in the Apollo 13 spacecraft as well as backup astronauts on the ground, electrical and environmental and computer engineers and flight and simulations directors--and even employees of aerospace companies such as Boeing who made components used in the mission--were able to overcome an unforeseen and catastrophic explosion of one of 2 oxygen tanks in the service module due to a short circuit that also ripped open the other oxygen tank. Despite years of intense and comprehensive simulations of possible malfunctions, this extreme failure of oxygen storage and the electrical system seemed at first to signal impending death for the 3 astronauts. By moving into the Lunar module, shutting down most normal functions, and a variety of ingenious technical fixes originating from the combined mental and computational power of thousands of NASA and other staff, these astronauts were barely able to make a safe landing back on Earth before running out of oxygen and freezing to death.Apollo 13 (documentary)

If Mission Control cannot find a way to bring Apollo 13 home, the astronauts will be stranded 200,000 miles from Earth in their dying ship. Now with limited power and supplies on board the spacecraft, the ground teams work around the clocking, engineering creative solutions to overcome carbon dioxide poisoning, dehydration and the freezing temperatures of deep space, to ensure the crew's survival.
