:26:00
the last few days have had
on the families...
:26:03
of these three very brave men.
:26:10
I believe in the space program.
:26:12
I believe it's worthy.
:26:14
I believe this country needs heroes.
:26:18
But I think it's not
just the astronauts...
:26:20
it's all the men at NASA.
:26:22
They're all heroes.
:26:25
And I know that Jack would...
:26:34
That's a great piece of film.
:26:39
It's been said that Apollo represents
the greatest engineering achievement...
:26:42
in the history of mankind.
:26:43
This, we're told,
is the pride of our civilization...
:26:46
- the triumph of technology over nature.
- Hit us while we're down.
:26:51
But Apollo 13 teaches us...
:26:52
that the price of technology
is measured not in dollars...
:26:56
but in a mother's love
for her son.
:26:58
At Mission Control,
I'm Brett Hutchins.

Kid can't even write in English,
for God's sake. Listen to this:
:27:05
"The price of technology is
measured not in dollars...
:27:08
but in a mother's love
for her son."
:27:10
If he keeps this up,
they'll shut us out.
:27:13
- In ten.
- I got to go.
:27:17
From our Houston bureau where Emmett
Seaborn is following that story.
:27:21
The astronauts of Apollo 13
face new uncertainties...
:27:25
as they prepare for tomorrow's fiery
descent through the Earth's atmosphere.
:27:29
The first big test
will come early tomorrow...
:27:32
when the crew brings Odyssey's
electrical systems...
:27:34
- What do I say to him?
- Just tell him it's the assignment.
:27:39
I don't think it's gonna wash.
:27:40
Don't worry about it.
:27:47
- When do you think we'll know that?
- We should know that in a few hours.
:27:50
Thanks, Emmett.
:27:51
- And we're clear.
- And we're out.
:27:57
New York would like you
to stay in the studio tomorrow.
