'- All right?
'- Hold on, Houston.

1:26:05
While the astronauts appear to have
enough oxygen to keep them alive,

1:26:08
one thing they have too much of
is carbon dioxide.

1:26:12
With each breath,
the three men expel...

1:26:13
more of the poisonous gas
into the lunar module cockpit,

1:26:17
and the scrubbers intended to
keep the atmosphere breathable...

1:26:19
are quickly becoming saturated.
1:26:23
Oh, shit. I tore it.
1:26:26
Shit!
1:26:29
Houston, what do we do if we
ripped the bag? Can we tape it?

1:26:33
'- They just tore the bag.
'- Oh, no.

1:26:35
Uh, stand by.
What should I tell 'em to do?

1:26:37
They should have one more.
1:26:39
But they've still got
a long way to come.

1:26:42
They are now working on their backup
facilities, their emergency facilities.

1:26:46
The problem is, if anything more
goes wrong, they're in real trouble.

1:27:18
As most of you are aware, there is
no rescue possible in space flight.

1:27:22
A'-Any rescue system the space agency
has long since calculated'-'-

1:27:25
Hold this a minute.
1:27:27
Since any rescue system
the space agency calculated'-'-

1:27:35
'- One sock.
'- Once you have the sock in place,

1:27:37
'- we're gonna want you to bungee...
'- Work it in.

1:27:40
the entire filter assembly
to the bulkhead,

1:27:42
'- right above the LEM canister.
'- We're getting close to 15.

1:27:46
So how does this flight compare to other
emergency situations you've faced?

1:27:50
I'd have to say that this is
the most serious situation...

1:27:55
we've ever encountered
in manned space flight.

1:27:58
'- Houston, filter's in place.
'- Cabin gas return to egress.
