00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:20.079
Today we're taking a journey back in
time to April eleventh, nineteen seventy,

00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:25.039
when NASA launched the Apollo thirteen mission. This mission, intended to be the

5
00:00:25.079 --> 00:00:30.239
third Moon landing, faced incredible odds
and became one of the most dramatic stories

6
00:00:30.280 --> 00:00:34.960
in the history of space exploration.
So buckle up and get ready to test

7
00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:40.000
your knowledge of this remarkable chapter in
human spaceflight. Question one? Who were

8
00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:48.560
the three astronauts on board the Apollo
thirteen mission? Question two? What was

9
00:00:48.600 --> 00:00:53.960
the intended destination of the Apollo thirteen
mission before the onboard explosion occurred? And

10
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:58.759
I don't mean the Moon? What
location on the Moon? Question three?

11
00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:02.399
The famous phrase, h Houston,

12
00:01:02.759 --> 00:01:07.640
What was the actual phrase spoken by
the Apollo thirteen crew? Question four.

13
00:01:08.120 --> 00:01:11.680
To conserve power, the Apollo thirteen
crew had to shut down most of

14
00:01:11.719 --> 00:01:17.599
the systems in the command module.
What was the temperature inside the module during

15
00:01:17.640 --> 00:01:25.560
this time? Question five? Upon
their safe return to Earth, the Apollo

16
00:01:25.640 --> 00:01:30.920
thirteen astronauts splashed down in which ocean. Take a moment to ponder these questions

17
00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:34.359
and I'll be back with the answers
and some fascinating fun facts that will give

18
00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:42.439
you a deeper appreciation for this incredible
story of human determination and ingenuity. Welcome

19
00:01:42.480 --> 00:01:47.239
back Space History Buffs. Let's dive
into the answers to our Apollo thirteen trivia

20
00:01:47.359 --> 00:01:53.760
questions and explore some of the amazing
details behind this unforgettable mission. Question one

21
00:01:53.879 --> 00:01:59.280
asked who were the three astronauts on
board the Apollo thirteen mission. Answer Jim

22
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:02.439
Lovell, Fred Hayes, and Jack
Swygert. Fun fact, Just forty eight

23
00:02:02.439 --> 00:02:07.400
hours before launch, command module pilot
Ken Mattingly was replaced by back up pilot

24
00:02:07.479 --> 00:02:13.240
Jack Swigert due to exposure to German
measles. This last minute crew change added

25
00:02:13.280 --> 00:02:17.400
an extra layer of tension to an
already challenging mission. Question two asked what

26
00:02:17.599 --> 00:02:23.240
was the intended destination of the Apollo
thirteen mission before the onboard explosion occurred.

27
00:02:23.919 --> 00:02:30.319
Answer the Fra Marrow Highlands on the
Moon. The explosion occurred nearly fifty six

28
00:02:30.360 --> 00:02:34.759
hours into the mission, forcing the
crew to abandon their Moon landing plans and

29
00:02:34.840 --> 00:02:38.680
focus on getting back to Earth safely. The Fra Marrow Highlands were later visited

30
00:02:38.680 --> 00:02:44.919
by the Apollo fourteen mission in nineteen
seventy one. Question three asked what was

31
00:02:44.960 --> 00:02:51.479
the actual phrase spoken by the Apollo
thirteen crew. The original phrase, spoken

32
00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:55.280
by astronaut Jack Swigert was Houston,
We've had a problem. However, the

33
00:02:55.360 --> 00:03:00.280
nineteen ninety five film popularized the misquoted
version Houston, we have a problem,

34
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:06.840
which has since become a common catchphrase
in popular culture. Question four asked to

35
00:03:06.919 --> 00:03:09.840
conserve power, the Apollo thirteen crew
had to shut down most of the systems

36
00:03:09.840 --> 00:03:15.479
in the Command module. What was
the temperature inside the module during this time

37
00:03:15.919 --> 00:03:21.879
answer thirty eight degrees. The crew
endured extreme cold temperatures, limited water,

38
00:03:22.080 --> 00:03:25.039
and a lack of sleep during their
return journey. They also had to improvise

39
00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:30.719
a carbon dioxide removal system using duct
tape, cardboard, and other materials to

40
00:03:30.719 --> 00:03:34.840
prevent a dangerous build up of CO
two in the lunar module. Question five

41
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:38.319
asked upon their safe return to Earth, the Apollo thirteen astronauts splashed down in

42
00:03:38.360 --> 00:03:44.199
which ocean? Answer the Pacific Ocean. Fun fact. The Apollo thirteen crew

43
00:03:44.240 --> 00:03:47.719
splashed down on April seventeenth, nineteen
seventy, just four miles from the recovery

44
00:03:47.719 --> 00:03:53.439
ship USS Ewojima. Despite the mission's
challenges, the crew's safe return was a

45
00:03:53.479 --> 00:04:00.000
testament to the ingenuity and collaboration of
the astronauts, mission control, and support

46
00:04:00.000 --> 00:04:03.000
four teams on the ground. Thank
you for joining me, journey Joe Mitchell

47

of the Apollo thirteen mission. The story

48
00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:13.800
of Apollo thirteen reminds us of the
incredible feats we can achieve when faced with

49
00:04:13.840 --> 00:04:18.720
adversity, and the indomitable spirit of
human exploration. Until next time, keep
