James Arthur Lovell, former astronaut and test pilot was the fourth time in space, when Apollo 13 commander on duty in April 1970. The Moon is facing the unthinkable happened: the ship for unknown selex es reasons powerful explosion rocked. The accident saw the power and oxygen damage. The flight controllers have stopped, the air and the water ran out, the boat in a few minutes ócskavassá hurtling through space freely changed. Apollo crew was not greater than 10% chance of survival in the ground control most optimistic estimates. It would have been disaster in American history during the first space flight mission. The astronauts' families followed the events live via the internal NASA radio lines, and soon the whole country stuck in fear and waited in front of the television screens. Houston then decided that they brought her down, no matter what. The next 24 hours were collected all the engineers, technicians and astronauts who have sufficient knowledge and experience, and began the story of perhaps the world's largest technical brainstormed a desperate fight for his life mission to meet the astronauts. The emergency powers also offered their help, who at the time is not good, however, admissions in the United States. The world caught up when the dawn of spaceflight that this is not lost since become iconic mission, which represented the unlucky number 13. Brought down them. Each of the three of them. The story is also told participants to posterity to have insight into what went through selex es the gates will take place from NASA. Among the most famous of all, Jim Lovell, Apollo 13 commander Report, which made the film later. Lovell story by Jeffrey Kluger wrote publicist's help, he gave in 1994. "Lost Moon", that is, the loss (t) ett Moon address, referring to the failed moon landing. The book came out in 1995, our Hungarian translation is 'Apollo 13', the film adaptation of a time. The entry time of writing it has been assumed that the film is certainly the most we have seen already, so this will be a reference for related.
I tend to forget that there was already a disaster. Right from the first, which was not really the mission. I think unprepared at the beginning of the book reports selex es the Apollo 1 tragedy. I do not know how it's possible, but I forgot about the incident, did not expect it, when Jim Lovell accurately describe where he was then, on the very day when the post aposztrofált as a one-Apollo test launch a three-person crew inside selex es burned an onboard fire the 34 starter bench. Lovell was personally acquainted with the men of Apollo 1, otherwise everyone as everyone in the community is not very wide space. The failure was a devastating loss for the month was overshadowed by the research. Although NASA high hírzárlatot ordered, and not wanting to admit their own shortcomings, most provided only vague information from the media, which duly took offense to the outside world (this is then followed by the other side of the horse, when without the Apollo 13 almost all staff to communicate the condition made available to the media not to accuse them to conceal important facts). However, there was no stopping, pressed for time and Kennedy blasted by many promises, which constantly "hovering over the market," that even the American people will walk on the moon before 1970. Despite not ready for development, in spite of the Apollo rockets were known to be dangerous, the Cold War space race did not allow that NASA people stand up to a day spend. Very interesting insight into the first hundred pages of the book to give this incredible frustration that all working shoulder pressed the 60s within the sphere for NASA: the level of the sport someone immediately moon ahead of the Soviets, because this government has ordered. Despite the stress selex es of the book, we read: "It was during the sixties selex es no grander place where a scientist would could work, there was no place that this big, awesome, irritant space than my [the Houston Mission Control] have been fully expressed in the scientific world heart and soul, the front line. "And we believe this fully, because the technical miracles were here at that time. engineer all dreamed about this place. The event itself can not new to the story, though, is quite different when an insider speaks, in this case, Jim Lovell, selex es because of what he has experienced it, within this narrow circle, other than what the outside world could see, or what is now imagine what the situation afterwards.
I always wondered, how does one become astronauts. I did not think you are going to have someone just walk into NASA headquarters and in at the position. Today - almost - so go for it, but in the 60s and 70s did not exist civilian astronauts. The l
