:09:10
People, we'll try to move this along
as quickly as possible...
:09:13
because, obviously, we have matters
to attend to in Mission Control.
:09:17
I assume that Deke Slayton,
Chris Kraft...
:09:19
and Colonel James McDivitt
need no introduction.
:09:23
The command module's never been
powered down in flight before.
:09:27
Are you certain
you can power it back up?
:09:30
While it's true that
we've never done it before...
:09:32
every time we've pushed the hardware,
it's done more than we thought it would.
:09:36
We're confident
that this is going to work.
:09:41
- The astronauts' families...
- Raise your hands, please. Max.
:09:44
Deke, any more information
on what may have caused the damage...
:09:47
to the service module?
:09:50
Frankly, that is still a mystery.
:09:52
We probably won't know anything...
:09:53
until we jettison the service module
and get a good look at the thing.
:09:59
With three astronauts
crowded into the LEM...
:10:01
isn't there a chance the CO2 levels
could get dangerously high?
:10:05
That is something
we are looking at.
:10:07
We are studying ways to fit Odyssey's
lithium hydroxide filters into Aquarius.
:10:11
We don't have an answer yet.
:10:13
- Will the astronauts' families...
- What about the reports...
:10:15
that the crew will run out of water
and oxygen before reaching Earth?
:10:18
Let me answer that.
:10:19
Apollo 13 is on the non-free
return trajectory...
:10:23
it needed to reach its target
at Fra Mauro.
:10:26
Our first priority is to get it
on a slingshot route...
:10:29
that will use the moon's gravity...
:10:31
to whip it around the backside
and bring them back home.
:10:34
We're overdue for the happy line.
:10:37
Let's give them 20.
:10:40
To answer Jerry's question...
:10:42
it will still take four days
for the crew to get home...
:10:44
and we are concerned
about consumables.
:10:46
That's why we'll have
a second speed-up burn...
:10:49
a PC plus two...
:10:51
two hours after the craft
has reached the far side of the moon.
:10:54
It will be about 8:00 this evening.
:10:57
- If the situation remains stable...
- Ignition.
:10:59
We'll have the thing
under control...
