What a cool ride that was! Not to veer too far off from that picture but I was actually on vacation during Apollo 13. I briefly remember glancing at an Apollo 13 headline on a newspaper in its display box. I had no idea of the drama that happened until watching the
movie of the event. NASA succeeded in making these historic flights into something boring and mundane. Just demonstrates that the only way a Government program ever dies is in the unlikely event it succeeds in its mission.
