:59:00
We've got negative visibility
in our star field,
:59:02
and if this paperwork isn't right,
who knows where we'll end up out here?
:59:13
Looks good, Flight.
:59:15
'- It's all right.
'- Good here.
:59:17
'- He's good, Andy.
'- We'll go on those numbers.
:59:20
'- You're good.
'- Log them in, Freddo.
:59:22
Jack, turn off the l.M.U.
Switch to S.C.S.
:59:24
Stand by to turn off
the thrusters. Over.
:59:27
It's a great day in New York.
It's girl watchers' weather.
:59:30
I like those ingenious girl watchers
who put on Con Edison helmets...
:59:33
and dig trenches in the street
to get a better view.
:59:37
But I'-'- Hey, speaking
of girl watching,
:59:39
did you know that our first bachelor
astronaut is on his way to the moon?
:59:43
Is it Swigert?
Yeah, first bachelor.
:59:45
He's the kind, they say, has a girl
in every port. He has that reputation.
:59:49
He's sort of foolishly optimistic,
taking nylons, Hershey bars to the moon.
:59:56
Did you read
that three million'-'-
:59:58
What do you say?
Less viewers or fewer viewers?
1:00:01
Three million fewer viewers, uh, watched
the space shot than did the last one.
1:00:06
Uh, I'-'-
Colonel Borman is h'-'-

An ABC New'-'-
1:00:11
Here is ABC science editor
Jules Bergman.
1:00:15
The Apollo 13 spacecraft
has lost all electrical power,
1:00:18
and astronauts Jim Lovell,
Fred Haise and Jack Swigert...
1:00:21
are making their way through
the tunnel to the lunar module,
1:00:23
using it as a lifeboat,
1:00:25
so they'll have electrical power
for their radios on the command module.
1:00:28
Apollo 13 is apparently
also losing breathing oxygen'-'-
1:00:31
Slow down. An electrical failure.
What exactly does that mean?
1:00:34
The emergency has ruled out
any chance of a lunar landing...
1:00:37
and could endanger the lives
of the astronauts themselves...
1:00:40
if the LEM oxygen supply, plus whatever
is left of the command module's oxygen,
1:00:44
can't last them until
they can get back to Earth.
1:00:46
What do you mean there's
no immediate danger?
1:00:48
I just heard they're losing oxygen.
Can they get back?
1:00:51
The LEM's descent rocket engine
will be used in aborting the mission...
1:00:54
and getting the astronauts
safely back to Earth.
1:00:56
Recapping what has happened: The Apollo
13 astronauts may be in grave danger.
