:05:03
- Null their rates?
- Yeah, that's it.
:05:05
- What else?
- Something here about C-4 thrusters.
:05:08
- Check C-4 thruster valve?
- Yeah.
:05:10
- Bingo!
- Coming to us in 30.
:05:12
- Who are you calling?
- A little birdie in the ops center.
:05:14
They've had trouble
with those thrusters before.
:05:17
Ten cents says something
inside that ship blew up.
:05:19
- There is no time.
- Don't stand there.
:05:22
Find out what kind of crap
they're feeding Cronkite.
:05:25
It is not known yet
just what happened.
:05:27
Perhaps it was hit by a meteoroid.
Perhaps there was an explosion.
:05:30
- Anything I can do?
- Get me the Astros-Cubs score.
:05:33
- What do you think?
- I hope it wasn't a meteorite.
:05:36
It doesn't matter.
Those poor guys are screwed.
:05:38
No one can predict these things
precisely.
:05:41
There appears to be no better
than a ten percent chance...
:05:43
that the crew of Apollo 13
will make it home alive.
:05:47
Rosen's predicting
they won't make it back.
:05:49
I just need a yes or a no.
:05:51
Can you look me in the eye and say
this came from outside the ship?
:05:56
We're on in 15.
What's he doing?
:05:57
I don't know what he's doing.
:06:00
Sorry to intrude,
but we're on in ten.
:06:03
Thank you.
:06:05
You owe me a dime.
:06:07
- I never took the bet.
- Is he always like this?
:06:09
Emmett Seaborn
is following that story.
:06:12
Apollo 13 is America's 23rd manned
space flight, and tonight it appears...
:06:16
that no previous mission has ever posed
a greater risk to the lives of its crew.
:06:21
NASA's flight controllers, having
successfully guided four missions...
:06:28
It's Brett Hutchins.
Are you watching your TV?
:06:34
I'd love to be out there.
Who loves baseball more than me?
:06:37
I have to stay here and pitch Moburg
a piece on the astronauts' families.
:06:42
Yeah, I know they're under wraps.
Screw NASA. It's worth a shot, right?
:06:49
- Great. Yeah.
- As a result...
:06:52
the astronauts will likely
use the lunar module's engine...
:06:54
to send them
on a slingshot course...
:06:57
- around the moon and back to Earth.
- Thank you. Good-bye.
:06:59
But is the relatively tiny Aquarius
up to the task?
