A Collection of Audio Transmissions from the Apollo 13, June 29, 2002
This review is from: Apollo 13: The Real Mission (Audio Cassette)
As is evident by its title, this Cassette contains some of the audio transmissions from the Apollo 13 mission. The Apollo 13 mission was the third attempt to land a crew on the lunar surface; however, due to an explosion onboard the Command Module, the landing was aborted and the crew returned safely to the Earth after many trails and tribulations. The tape presents the transmissions in chronological order and of course contains the most famous quotes from the mission. For example, "Houston we have a problem"," one whole side missing", and "Farewell Aquarius". In general, I feel that most space buffs and those studying the Apollo 13 mission would find this tape fairly interesting, but the short length of the tape, 35 minutes, (plus a 6 minute speech by JFK) is hardly good coverage of a flight that lasted 8 days.
This cassette is also available on Compact Disc.
