long and painful journey home

For 2 hours, I was forced to endure the extremely low temperature air conditioner because of the high-load operation temperature of MACBOOK, as if I was in a spaceship.
I am afraid of being too far from the ground, and even more afraid of the feeling of being out of control of my life, so I like the sense of security the ground gives me.
13 is always unsettling, perhaps this day Death is especially dedicated. Everyone knows that Apollo 13 failed to land on the moon. Of course, this is not a suspense movie or any sci-fi movie, because it is always easier to return home in a sci-fi movie. I am also very glad that this is just a disaster documentary with the theme of the United States, 2 Hours are long and painful enough for being too documentary.
In the history of human spaceflight, who remembered the victims behind the successful astronauts? A small step in space was made by their sacrifices. I don’t know anything about spaceships at all. I only know that these two hours are very important. Suffering, you won't find any more meaning beyond that, the absurd irony of TV and audience psychology is just a passing, there is no superfluous emotion, only the atmosphere that makes people tense all the time.
The soundtrack before the rocket starts to lift off is really good, I checked it out for James Horner and it looks like it's another soundtrack worth listening to.

    Unexpectedly, revisiting on the big screen is a hundred times better than in memory. Long Howard is really a master of narrative and a master of mobilizing the audience's emotions. It is a surge of heart to watch!

Apollo 13 quotes

  • John Aaron, EECOM Arthur: Power is everything.

    Gene Kranz: What do you mean?

    John Aaron, EECOM Arthur: Without it, they don't talk to us, they don't correct their trajectory, they don't turn the heat shield around. We gotta turn everything off, now. They're not gonna make it to re-entry.

    Gene Kranz: What do you mean "everything"?

    John Aaron, EECOM Arthur: With everything on, the LEM draws 60 amps. At that rate, in 16 hours, the batteries are dead, not 45. And so is the crew. We gotta get them down to twelve amps.

  • Jim Lovell: Okay, uh, good evening, America, and welcome aboard Apollo 13. I'm Jim Lovell, and we're broadcasting to you tonight from an altitude of almost 200,000 miles away from the... the face of the Earth, and we have a pretty good show in store for you tonight. We are going to show you just what, uh, life is like for the three of us in the vast expanse of outer space.

    Jim Lovell: Okay, one of the first things we'd like to do is provide you with the appropriate background music. So, uh, hit it there, Freddo.

    Fred Haise: [playing Norman Greenbaum's "Spirit in the Sky"] Hello, world!

    Jim Lovell: That, uh, was supposed to be the theme to "2001", in honor of our command module Odyssey, but there seems to have been a last-minute change in the program.
