On a lunar reentry flight,
the heat approaches 4,000 degrees.
1:53:03
So, uh, Blanch?
1:53:05
Blanch? Did Jim make
Eagle Scout or not?
1:53:09
'- Yes, he did.
'- He did.
1:53:11
If the heat shield
is even slightly cracked,
1:53:13
the extreme cold
could have split it wide open.
1:53:16
Worst of all, if the pyrotechnics
that control the parachutes...
1:53:19
have been damaged,
the chutes may not open at all,
1:53:21
causing the spacecraft to hit the water
not at a gentle 20 miles per hour,
1:53:25
but at a suicidal 300.
1:53:28
Perhaps never in human history...
1:53:30
has the entire world been united
by such a global drama.
1:53:33
In New York City, thousands
of people have gathered...
1:53:36
to watch updates of the mission
in Times Square.
1:53:38
Many countries offered help,
and the State Department said...
1:53:41
it would ask for it
if it were needed.
1:53:43
The House and Senate passed resolutions
calling on the American people...
1:53:46
to pray tonight
for the astronauts.
1:53:49
In Rome, Pope Paul
led 50,000 people...
1:53:52
in prayers for the safe
return of the astronauts.
1:53:55
In Jerusalem,
prayers at the Wailing Wall.
1:54:03
Uh, it's about time to bail
out of this ship, Freddo.
1:54:09
Freddo?
1:54:12
You okay?
1:54:15
I'm, uh'-'- I'm freezing.
1:54:20
Can you hold out
just a little longer?
1:54:22
'- Long as I have to.
'- Aw, come on.
1:54:26
It won't be long.
Just a little while longer, Freddo.
1:54:31
Just a little while longer. We're gonna
hit that water in the South Pacific.
1:54:36
Open up that hatch.
1:54:39
'- It's 80 degrees out there.
'- Eighty degrees.
1:54:45
'- You are a mess.
'- Y'-Yeah.
1:54:49
Odyssey, Houston.
Uh, how we doin', guys?
1:54:53
We're closing in
on lunar module jettison.
1:54:55
As you know,
that is time critical.
1:54:57
We should be making our move
into the command module.
