1:40:01
warm up the pyros for the parachutes
and the command module thrusters.
1:40:05
The thrusters are gonna
put you over budget on amps.
1:40:07
They've been sitting at 200 below for
four days, John. They gotta be heated.
1:40:12
Fine. Then trade off
the parachutes, something.
1:40:14
Well, if the chutes
don't open, what's the point?
1:40:17
You're telling me what you need.
I'm telling you what we have
to work with at this point.
1:40:20
I'm not making this stuff up.
1:40:21
They're going to need
all these systems, John.
1:40:24
We do not have the power, Ken.
We just don't have it.
1:40:30
Okay, I'm gonna go back
and reorganize the sequencing again...
1:40:33
and find more power.
1:40:35
Let's start from scratch.
Clear the board.
1:40:41
I don't know where the hell
we're gonna find it.
1:40:44
Apollo 13 commander Jim Lovell
has more time in space,
1:40:47
almost 24 days already,
than any other man,
1:40:50
and I asked him recently
if he ever was scared.
1:40:53
I've had an engine flame out
a few times in an aircraft...
1:40:56
and was curious as to whether it
was going to light up again,
1:40:59
but, uh, they seem to work out.
1:41:02
Is there an instance
in an airplane emergency...
1:41:06
when you can recall fear?
1:41:08
Uh, well, I remember this one time,
1:41:12
I'm in a Banshee at night in
combat conditions, so there's no
running lights on the carrier.
1:41:15
It was the Shangri'-la,
and we were in the Sea of Japan.
1:41:19
My radar had jammed,
and my homing signal was gone...
1:41:23
because somebody in Japan
was actually using the same frequency,
1:41:25
and so it was leading me away
from where I was supposed to be.
1:41:28
I'm looking down at a big, black ocean,
so I flip on my map light.
1:41:34
Then, suddenly, zap, everything
shorts out right there in my cockpit.
1:41:38
All my instruments are gone.
My lights are gone and I can't
even tell what my altitude is.
1:41:41
I know I'm running out of fuel, so I'm
thinking about ditching into the ocean.
1:41:46
I look down there
and then, in the darkness,
1:41:50
there's this, uh,
there's this green trail.
1:41:53
It's like a long carpet that's just laid
out right beneath me. It was the algae.
1:41:57
It was that phosphorescent stuff...
1:41:59
that gets churned up
in the wake of a big ship.
