Yeah, that's right... and he wouldn't be the FIRST old spaceman to be elected to national office. #Glenn #Swigert

...and speaking of which – here's the Kid a few years or so back, in his yard on #CapitolHill visiting the spirit of an old boyhood hero. #Apollo13

Apollo 13 (50th Anniversary) YouTube video by Homemade Documentaries

When #Apollo13 launched [56 years ago on 4-11-2026] it became one of the most important #SpaceMissions in #NASAHistory, not because of any grand achievement. But because it was #ProofofConcept for #Missioncontrol's #EmergencyResponse #BringTheBoysHome #BeatTheClock

🎬 Found out that #Apollo13 was on ITV towards the end of December. So I downloaded it to watch tonight.

This inspiration miiiiight be related to the book I’m currently reading 👇 which was describing some early disasters as it details the difficulty of the task.

📽️💙 #FilmSky #MovieSky 🍿🎥

The movie Apollo 13 is closer to the actual moon mission than it is to today.

So that we crossed that line in 2020 already.

🌑 Actual Mission (1970) ⬇️ 25 years 🎬 Movie Release (1995) ⬇️ 30+ years 📅 Today (2026)

Sorry if I just made you feel ancient. 😅

Perhaps @amyshirateitel.bsky.social mentions that factoid in her #Apollo13 video that just dropped. I've yet to watch it but I'm looking forward to doing so soon. #Spaceflight #NASA #history

Not directly comparable missions:
#Apollo8 went into lunar orbit for 10 laps, followed by a trans-Earth trajectory for reentry. #ArtemisII is a flyby with a free return trajectory, so it’s more like #Apollo13.

Ron Howard’s Strategy For Making 'Apollo 13' Realistic Ron Howard’s strategy for making Apollo 13 realistic balanced historical accuracy with powerful cinematic storytelling.

Ron Howard’s strategy for Apollo 13 focused on realism over spectacle.

It’s why the film still stands as one of the most authentic space dramas ever made. 🚀
