🚀🌕 Mon. 13-Apr-1970︱56 years ago today, Apollo 13’s oxygen tank explosion turned a moon mission into a survival mission. What followed was not conquest, but grit, improvisation, and the stubborn refusal to lose three men in space. #Apollo13 #NASA
Apollo 13’s crisis on Mon. 13-Apr-1970 became one of the clearest demonstrations of nerve, ingenuity, and disciplined teamwork in modern history: a lunar mission shattered mid-flight, then was turned into a fight to bring everyone home alive. “Houston, we’ve had a problem here.” James A. Lovell, as quoted by HISTORY.com “Tragedy turned to triumph as the Apollo 13 astronauts touched down safely in the Pacific Ocean.” HISTORY.com Editors

We had a TV just like this in the 1970’s. Big old wooden cabinet, no remote, huge channel knobs. They made stuff to last forever 50 years ago.
