CBS - Apollo 13 as it happened
Discussion
Fascinating footage now available on youtube.
We are all very familiar with the story of Apollo 13 but what we haven't seen much of is how TV covered the events in real time as they unfolded. Cronkite is as masterful and knowledgeable as ever with great technical input from recently retired astronaut, Wally Schira.
I wasn't sure where to post this topic - Science, Boats, Planes, Trains or TV. I plumped for TV in the end as it is the TV coverage that IO find the most fascinating as much as the subject matter.
