A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show. There is a scene in the movie Apollo 13 where astronaut Ken Mattingley, played by Gary Sinese, is trying to find a way to power up the Command Service Module to bring the three in danger astronauts through the earth's atmosphere and safely back to earth.  All they had to play with was 16 amps; that's it. Sixteen amps isn't enough to boil a kettle. And we're talking about life support systems and navigation that was critical to bring Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert and Fred Haise back to earth safely. In the scene, we see Ken Mattingley testing every switch in every possible combination so they do not exceed 16 amps . It's painstaking; it takes a lot of time, but eventually, they devise a sequence that the astronauts can use to power up the command service module within the 16-amp limit. We know that Apollo 13 landed, or splashed down, safely to earth after five days. Each day, you, too, are dealing with a similar situation. You have a limited resource—time—and that's it. You get the same 24 hours every day that everybody else gets. How you use that time is entirely up to you. The problem is you don't have 24 hours because some critical life support measures require some of that time, including sleep. If you don't get enough sleep, that will have a subsequent effect on your performance that day; you won't be operating at your most productive.  This is one of the reasons why it is crucial to have a plan. No flight ever takes off without a flight plan. They know precisely how much weight they are carrying. They can estimate to some degree of accuracy the weight of the passengers, and they know precisely where they're going and what weather conditions to expect. Yet many people start their day without a plan; they turn up at work and email messages. Bosses, customers, and colleagues dictate what they do all day, and they end up exhausted, having felt they've done nothing important at all. And that will be very true. Well, not important to them.  This week's question is about getting control of your time. So, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question.  This week's question comes from Tina. Tina asks, Hi Carl, I am swamped with all the stuff I have to do at work and home. It's never-ending and I don't have time to do it all. Do you have any tips on getting control of everything? Hi Tina, thank you for your question.  There's an issue when we focus on everything that we have to do. We forget that ultimately, whether we can or cannot do something will come back to time. Time is the limiting factor.  There are other resources—money, ability, energy, etc but if you have all those resources, and you don't have time, it's not going to get done.  Things get even more messy when we consider that as humans we are terrible at estimating how long something will take to do. There are too many variables.  For instance, as I am writing this script, my wife is messaging me and Louis, my little dog, is looking at me expectantly, hoping I will give him his evening chewy stick early.  When I began writing, I thought it would take me a couple of hours, I've already spent an hour on it and I am nowhere near finishing it.  One place to start is to allocate what you have to do by when you will do it. This helps to reduce your daily lists which in turn reduces that sense of overwhelm.  I recommend starting with a simple folder structure of: This Week Next Week This Month Next Month Long-Term and on Hold.  When something new comes in, ask yourself: What is it? What do I need to do and when can I do it?  The questions what is it and what do I need to do will help you to classify the task.  Classifying a task is helpful because it will allow you to group similar tasks together.  For example, if you walk into your living room and notice the windows are looking dirty, you may decide to create a task to clean the windows.  The next question is when will you do it? The best time to do this kind of task is when you do your other cleaning.  Grouping similar tasks together work to prevent procrastination.  When I was growing up, my grandmothers and my mother all had what they called “cleaning days”. This was a day, once a week when they did the big clean. Vacuuming, dusting and laundry. It was a non-negotiable part of their week.  And if you think about it, you don't pop out to the supermarket to buy food individually. It's not like you run out of broccoli and go to the supermarket to buy only broccoli. You would add broccoli to your shopping list and buy it when you do your grocery shopping.  Well, we can adopt the same principle here.  Like most people, I get email every day. The problem is, you and I have no idea how many emails we will get. It's a random number. This makes it practically impossible to know before the day starts what you will need to do.  However, what you can do is have a set amount of time to deal with your actionable email each day.  I have a process. Before the day starts I clear my inbox, filtering out the stuff I don't need and archiving things I may need. The actionable email goes into an Action This Day folder in my email app and later in the day I dedicate an hour for clearing that folder.  I have my Action This Day folder set up so the oldest email is at the top of the list and I start there. It doesn't matter if I have fifty or eighty actionable emails. I give myself an hour work on it and once the hour is up I stop.  I repeat this every day, so my emails are not backlogging. Most days I can clear them all, some days I cannot. But as I always begin with the oldest email, nobody will be waiting more than 24 hours for a reply.  This means it really doesn't matter how many messages I get each day. While I can't predict how many I will get each day, I have been able to pin down how long I spend on it each day (around an hour and twenty minutes) and that's it.  Another thing you can do is to default all new tasks to next week, not this week. It's tempting to throw everything into this week, but if everything goes into this week, you're going to be swamped.  Much of what we are asked to do doesn't need to be done straight away. It can wait. The advantage of waiting is many things end up sorting themselves out.  There's a story about former Israel Prime Minister Yikzak Shamir, who would take every letter, memo and document he received and put it on a pile on a side table. He wouldn't look at it for a week or ten days.  When he did go through the pile, he found 90% of what he was being asked to sort out had sorted itself out and the remaining 10% needed his attention.  Of course, today not touching something for a week to ten days might not be practical, but it does highlight another issue we find ourselves in—rushing to do something that if left alone will sort itself out.  The final piece of this puzzle, is how you organise your day. This is where your calendar takes priority and where the time limit comes to play.  We have twenty-four hours. From that we need to sleep, eat and take care of our personal hygiene. That's going to take up around nine to ten hours of your day. So, in reality you have around fourteen hours to play with.  Where will you do your most important work? This is where your calendar comes in.  Most of us have meetings and often we have no control over when those will be. However, what you can do is block your calendar for doing your most important work.  For example, you could protect two hours in the morning for doing your critical work. And then an hour in the afternoon for dealing with your communications—the action this day folder.  That's only three hours. If you're working a typical eight hour day, that still leaves you with five hours for meetings snd other stuff that may need to be done.  If you can consistently follow that practice, you'll soon see a lot of that work that's piling up getting done.  One thing to keep in mind is the work will never stop.  There's a story that on Queen Elizabeth's final day, she still had to deal with her official documents and messages. It's likely you will too. Stuff to do will never stop coming.  All you have are your resources and of those time is the most limited. The question is—how much time are you will to give to those tasks?  So, Tina, the best advice I can give you is to sort your tasks by when you will do them. This week, next week, later this month or next month.  From there, categorise your tasks into the type of work involved. That could be Writing time, communications, admin, chores etc.  Then. Look at your calendar and see where you can protect time for doing that work.  And that's it. If you are consistent in following your calendar, you will find the right things are getting done on time and you'll feel a lot less frazzled and overwhelmed.  Thank you, Tina for your question and thank you to you too for listening. It just remains for me now to wish you all very very productive week.

Today's episode will inspire you to keep going in the midst of difficulty. Two of our coaches and directors of our JimCockrumCoaching.com program tell it like it is in business and what to do to keep going. Listen to the Olson's behind the scenes back story!    "Houston, we have a problem..." On April 13, 1970, Jack Swigert's famous words marked a pivotal moment in the Apollo 13 mission, where an explosion turned a moon landing into a desperate fight for survival. The astronauts, with the ingenuity and determination of their ground team, used the Lunar Module as an improvised lifeboat, overcoming critical issues with limited resources. This story mirrors Brian Olson's journey in the Amazon business world, where persistence and innovative problem-solving turned early failures into remarkable success. Inspired by his unwavering commitment, Brian emphasizes the importance of setting concrete goals and being ready to face challenges head-on. His journey underscores that, much like the Apollo 13 mission, achieving great success often requires tenacity, creative thinking, and an unyielding belief that failure is not an option.   Special guest at the conclusion of today's show, Jeff Schick of JeffSchick.com answers the question: Why does my account health number drop sometimes even though I didn't get any issues on my account?   Watch this video on our YouTube channel here: https://youtu.be/vN-qLeEhqhk   Show note LINKS:    SilentSalesMachine.com - Text the word “free” to 507-800-0090 to get a free copy of Jim's latest book in audio about building multiple income streams online or visit https://silentjim.com/free11   JimCockrumCoaching.com  - Get a free session with a business consultant on our team at 1-800-994-1792 / 1-801-693-1688 or TEXT US at 385-284-7701 (US & Canada only for Text)  ALL of our coaches are running very successful businesses of their own based on the models we teach here!

Il est précisément 20h54 ce 13 avril 1970, lorsque Jack Swigert prononce cette fameuse phrase, depuis le vaisseau Apollo 13 qu'il pilote vers la lune : « Houston we've had a problem » - « Houston, on a eu un problème ». Nous sommes à un moment clé de la conquête spatiale, et les vaisseaux américains à l'époque portaient tous le nom du programme spatial Apollo. Un programme destiné à emmener des hommes fouler le sol lunaire. Le plus connu étant bien entendu Apollo 11, qui permit pour la première fois à des hommes de marcher sur la lune, mais nous y reviendrons… Houston se trouve au Texas et abrite le Kennedy Space Center, autrement dit le centre d'entraînement des astronautes, mais aussi la NASA, la National Aeronautics and Space Administration, en d'autres termes la base de contrôle des missions spatiales. Le problème auquel fait allusion le pilote du vaisseau, Jack Swigert, aux contrôleurs au sol de la NASA est en réalité une véritable catastrophe. Un des deux réservoirs à oxygène de la capsule vient d'exploser, causant d'importants dégâts. À cet instant précis, Apollo 13 file à une vitesse de 40.000 km/h vers la Lune et se trouve à quelque 330.000 km de la planète Terre.

This week on Christories, we're talking about the APOLLO 13 AND TOM HANKS TELLING "HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM!" It's the 1960's and JFK wants up to get a man on the moon Baby! We were fighting Russia to get to the moon BAD. Apollo 13 was the seventh crewed mission in NASA's Apollo space program and was intended to be the third mission to land on the Moon. However, it is best known for its dramatic turn of events. Launched on April 11, 1970, the mission suffered an oxygen tank explosion two days later, forcing the crew to abort their lunar landing and focus on returning safely to Earth. Through ingenuity and teamwork, the astronauts, James Lovell, Jack Swigert, and Fred Haise, managed to overcome life-threatening challenges and safely splashed down in the Pacific Ocean on April 17, 1970. The mission is often remembered for the famous line, "Houston, we have a problem," and it demonstrated NASA's ability to handle emergencies in space. HOW DO YOU THINK YOU'D HANDLE THE RETURN TO EARTH?

They are all set to cheer on three heroes of space exploration: Jim Lovell, Fred Haise, and Jack Swigert. Suddenly, this routine mission is anything but normal. An explosion rocks the moon bound spacecraft and the astronauts no longer have enough oxygen or power to accomplish their much hoped for moon landing. Now, with the help of the hundreds at Mission Control and the desperate prayers of their families, they must focus on survival in space and return to Earth. Episode Segment Time Stamps Opening Credits . . . . . . 00:03:14Favorite Parts . . . . . . . . 00:10:51Trivia . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .00:48:28Critics' Thoughts . . . . . 00:59:51 Back Look Cinema: The Podcast Links:www.backlookcinema.comEmail: fanmail@backlookcinema.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/backlookcinemaFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/backlookcinemapodcastInstagram: https://instagram.com/backlookcinemapodcastTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@backlookcinemaMastodon: https://mstdn.party/@backlookcinemaBack Look Cinema Merch at Teespring.com (https://back-look-cinema-merch.creator-spring.com/)Back Look Cinema Merch at Teepublic.com (https://www.teepublic.com/user/back-look-cinema-podcast-merch?utm_source=designer&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=G1VQNMthhSg) Sound Effects from Pixabay.com -https://pixabay.com/?utm_source=link-attribution&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=music&utm_content=24467Sound Effects from Mixkit.co - https://mixkit.co/

La célebre frase "Houston, tenemos un problema" en realidad fue "Hemos tenido un problema aquí", pronunciada por el piloto del módulo de mando del Apolo 13 Jack Swigert en medio del abismo espacial, a 320.000 km de la Tierra. El "problema" fue el estallido de uno de los dos depósitos de oxígeno y daños en el segundo que dejaron sin posibilidad de generar electricidad ni agua potable a bordo de la nave. Era la séptima misión tripulada (11-17 de abril de 1970) y la tercera destinada a aterrizar en la Luna. El fallo de los generadores dejó al Apolo 13 a merced de las baterías que hubiesen debido utilizar en la Luna. Y la falta de agua, además de ser un problema serio para los tres tripulantes, era vital en la refrigeración de los equipos electrónicos de a bordo. La prioridad --recuerda Alberto Sols, director de la Escuela de Arquitectura, Ingeniería y Diseño de la Universidad Europea de Madrid-- ya no era el alunizaje sino salvar a la tripulación. Ante el desconocimiento inicial de la naturaleza de los daños, la dirección de vuelo en Tierra optó porque la nave rodeara la Luna, se racionara el agua, se ensayaran nuevos sistemas de orientación, se desconectaran todos los equipos prescindibles para ahorrar energía y se empleara el módulo lunar Aquarius como una especie de balsa salvavidas.

It's back to the cosmos again on this week's Fabulous Film and Friends where we will be analyzing Ron Howard's triumphant 1995 historical drama Apollo 13, starring Tom Hanks, Bill Paxton, Kevin Bacon, Gary Sinise, Kathleen Quinlan, the mighty Ed Harris, and a whole battalion of bespectacled bit players  in one of the most effective films of its ilk. Returning to the panel once again, the screaming, desk-pounding emotional half of The Ken and Dante Show Youtube Channel, the Incredible Kendrick Wright.  An IT specialist who was once served as the miracle worker of the West Park Plaza Payless Drugs where we worked together, a man  could fix anything, slap some shrink wrap on it and put it right back on the shelf after it was originally deemed defective, Salt Lake City's own Burton Brown. Here to provide the much needed female perspective in a male dominated world of  pocket protectors, clip on ties, and ring around the collar, and then we'll talk about the movie! My sister, the one and only, Roseanne Caputi.  And finally, a man who would have been perfect for the part of Finney, the grumpy Irish engineering instructor who tutors Ben Affleck on the finer points of the space shuttle ignition switch in a wacky deleted scene from Michael Bay's Armageddon, Gordon Alex Robertson!   But before the pre-launch countdown commences: the synopsis Apollo 13 catalogs the events of the near fatal, aborted 1970 NASA moon mission which put the lives of astronauts Jim Lovell, Fred Haise and Jack Swigert in serious peril after an electrical short in the wiring of the Odyssey Service Module's oxygen tanks caused an explosion, nearly crippling the spacecraft. If it were not for the smarts, determination, and ingenuity of both the astronauts and the NASA staff at Houston Control, led by Chief Flight Director Gene Kranz, the mission surely would have ended in tragedy. As it was, a seemingly routine mission that the public at large wasn't interested in became a nail-biting worldwide chapter in history as the NASA team worked tirelessly to ensure the flight crew returned home safely.What's it all mean? Is it a deep movie? Is it a great movie?Find out!

Good Morning, Colorado, you're listening to the Daily Sun-Up with the Colorado Sun. It's Monday August 30th. Today - Hear from the Sun's politics team as they discuss the 2022 election, redistricting and COVID-19. Before we begin, let's go back in time with some Colorado history adapted from historian Derek R Everett's book “Colorado Day by Day”: Today we're going back to August 30th, 1931 - the birthday of Jack Swigert. No Coloradan has ever had a better perspective of their state than Swigert. Granted, as the command module pilot of the Apollo XIII mission, he had little time to enjoy the view. Swigert graduated from the University of Colorado and went on to serve in the Air Force. Then, In 1966 NASA chose him as an astronaut for the Apollo missions.   Now, our feature story.  Welcome to a special edition of the Daily Sun Up podcast with a roundup of recent political news.  Colorado Sun politics reporter Daniel Ducassi hosts his colleagues on the Sun's politics team Jesse Paul, Thy Vo and Sandra Fish as they talk about the 2022 election, redistricting and COVID-19.   To keep up with the latest from the Colorado Sun's politics team go to coloradosun.com   Thanks for listening. Finally, here are a few stories you should know about today:   The Martin Drake power plant in downtown Colorado Springs burned its last coal on Saturday, with natural gas fired turbines continuing to meet the electricity demands of the state's second largest city. Colorado Springs Utilities has been under pressure to transition to cleaner fuels, especially as the city contemplates redevelopment in neighborhoods near the plant, which is close to America the Beautiful Park and the new U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum. The utility's other coal-fired plant, Ray D. Nixon, near Fort Carson, is expected to transition to cleaner fuel in 2029.   There are 705 people in Colorado hospitalized because of COVID-19 at the end of last week, the highest level since January 21. Confirmed coronavirus cases have been spiking as the delta variant spreads, with about 99 percent of all case caused by the variant that is thought to be as contagious as chickenpox. COVID hospitalizations in Colorado still remain well below their peak of 1,847 reached on December 1, but the trend of increasing admissions is not showing signs of slowing. On Thursday, Colorado reported that its seven-day average of new daily cases was 1,490. Colorado's highest seven-day average of new daily cases was about 5,400 in November.   Jobs that disappeared during the pandemic are coming back in Colorado at a faster pace than in most other states. But even with only about 80 percent of the 362,000 jobs lost when Colorado shut down in 2020 back, employers say they are having a hard time filling openings. That may change when federal pandemic unemployment benefits end on Saturday. Colorado's unemployment rate is around 6.1 percent.

It's also the first film that started a new chapter of Tom Hanks films, which we sort of dub the Captain/America's Dad series. It's a fantastic film with spectacular special effects and a magnificent score (by the late James Horner 2 years before he gave us Titanic).Mike Lacy has a forthcoming podcast centered around the filmography of one Thomas Cruise, so be sure to keep an eye (and ear) out for that.

You’ve probably had the annoying experience of going to a store to pick up a few things, only to leave having forgotten at least one of them. That’s likely due to the challenge of holding more than one piece of information in your working memory while you shop, not to mention the effects of time pressure, distraction, and the procedural complexity of a seemingly simple trip to a store.In this episode of Choiceology with Katy Milkman, we look at effective tools for managing complex and time-sensitive procedures, from grocery shopping to space exploration.Fifty years ago, astronauts aboard the Apollo 13 lunar spacecraft radioed Mission Control with the now iconic phrase “Houston, we’ve had a problem.” A critical piece of equipment had exploded, putting the three crew member’s lives in extreme danger. What followed was a monumental problem-solving effort to bring the astronauts safely back to Earth.Historian Andrew Chaikin tells the harrowing story of Apollo 13, based on his interviews with NASA engineers and the Apollo crew. You’ll hear about the incredibly complex and dangerous procedures involved in piloting the hobbled ship and how Mission Control and the crew used a simple tool—the checklist—to help limit potential errors and manage complicated operations.Andrew Chaikin is the author of A Man on The Moon: The Voyages of The Apollo Astronauts.Next, Kirabo Jackson joins Katy to explain his work studying the effectiveness of checklists in a more down-to-earth setting: auto repair shops. You’ll hear how the implementation of checklists improved productivity and increased profits for shop owners. Kirabo Jackson is the Abraham Harris Professor of Education and Social Policy at Northwestern University. You can read more about his work in his research paper with Henry S. Schneider on checklists and worker behavior.Finally, Cass Sunstein discusses with Katy the more general topic of simplification. He explains how checklists and simplified processes can save governments and businesses money and time, as well as significantly increasing citizen participation in programs.Cass Sunstein is the Robert Walmsley University Professor at Harvard Law School. He is also the founder and director of the Program on Behavioral Economics and Public Policy at Harvard Law School, former administrator of the U.S. government’s Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs, and author of many books.

A bordo dell’astronave, la terza del programma spaziale statunitense destinata al suolo selenico, un’esplosione ha appena messo a repentaglio non solo l’obbiettivo della missione, ma la vita dell’equipaggio, composto dal comandante Jim Lovell, da Fred Haise e Jack Swigert.

Apollo 13, the 7th mission in the Apollo program, and only the third planned to land on the moon, launched from the Kennedy Space Center on April 11, 1970. Two days into the mission, shortly after a live broadcast to Earth (that very few watched), a routine stir of an oxygen tank resulted in an explosion that vented the contents of the service module's oxygen tanks to space. As a result, all systems had to be shut down to conserve remaining resources for reentry, forcing the crew to transfer to the lunar module as a lifeboat. Enduring freezing temperatures and navigating territory unfamiliar to all, the astronauts and the mission controllers worked to bring the crew home alive.So, what caused the oxygen tank to explode? A fascinating series of events two years before the launch of Apollo 13 that essentially boils down to this: somebody accidentally dropped it. In October 1968, the tank eventually used on Apollo 13 was in Downey, California. There, technicians who were handling the tank accidentally dropped it a distance of about two inches (oops). After testing the tank, there didn't appear to be any detectable damage. Later, the tank was eventually cleared for flight and subsequently installed on Apollo 13. After installation, it passed additional rigorous prelaunch tests, except for one small issue.One month before launch, after a practice session, ground crews tried to empty the tank and couldn’t, as the draining mechanism was damaged by the drop two years before. To get around the problem, they turned on the heaters inside the tank to warm up the remaining liquid oxygen to turn it into gaseous oxygen (you know, the stuff we breathe). In its gaseous form, the oxygen could then simply be vented out of the tank - easy peasy. While the ground crew was heating the tank, the thermostat inside the tank was supposed to prevent the temperature from exceeding 80 degrees Fahrenheit. Unfortunately, as the temperature inside the tank rose, the thermostat welded shut. Temperatures inside the tank rose to 1,000 degrees Fahrenheit instead, and the intense heat damaged some insulation on wiring inside the tank, leaving some exposed wire (that could easily spark). The tank now had all the makings of a small bomb, which then went off on April 13, 1970...in the middle of space. Great timing, right?P.S. - Sorry about the audio, I promise I'll keep learning how to do this right!Sources:NASA 50th Anniversary Video of Apollo 13Space.com - "What Caused the Apollo 13 Accident?"Socials:Instagram: @youdontknowpodTwitter: @youdontknowpodWebsite: https://youdontknowpod.buzzsprout.comEmail: youdontknowthatthepodcast@gmail.com

El 17 de abril se cumplieron 50 años de la llegada de la Misión Apolo 13 a la tierra, un viaje que resultó toda una odisea. La misión formaba parte del programa Apolo de la NASA. Para situarnos hay que decir que estamos en 1960, en plena carrera espacial entre Estados Unidos y la Unión Soviética. Anteriormente en 1969, el Apolo 11 ya había llevado al hombre a la luna. El Apolo 13 era la tercera misión de la NASA para seguir investigando al satélite de la tierra en menos de un año y debía tomar fotografías, realizar experimentos y recoger muestras geológicas de la luna. Pero la tripulación nunca llegó a alunizar.La nave Apolo 13 despegó desde el Centro Espacial Kennedy el 11 de abril de 1970. A bordo iban el comandante Jim Lovell, el piloto Jack Swigert (que dirigía la nave) y el piloto Fred Haise (que debía conducir el módulo lunar). La nave estaba formada por tres módulos: el módulo de mando, donde viajaban los astronautas; el módulo de servicio, que servía de almacenaje, y el módulo lunar, que se utilizaba para explorar la superficie lunar.Antes de llegar a la Luna debían viajar tres días por el espacio, pero en el viaje se produjo una explosión en el tanque de oxígeno del módulo de servicio, donde se guardaban todas las reservas de combustible, agua y otros materiales necesarios para que la nave funcione. Los tres astronautas decidieron utilizar entoces, el módulo lunar como bote salvavidas para regresar a la Tierra.La nave estaba demasiado dañada y no tenía combustible suficiente para cambiar de rumbo, así que se dejaron arrastrar por la gravedad lunar para dar la vuelta a la Luna y luego, con un poco de ayuda de los propulsores, cambiar de trayectoria y entrar en el campo de gravedad terrestre.

The Force Fed Sci-Fi Movie Podcast

Apollo 13 Liftoff Force Fed Sci-Fi fans, we have a problem ... as we look back at the Apollo 13 film, go over the Apollo 13 movie summary, the cast of Apollo 13 the movie, and more. Join us as we go over our Apollo 13 movie rating and review. Failure is not option this time! (Too corny? Probably, but I had to). Finally, we just want to mention that we wanted to step away from sci-fi just for this episode to help commemorate the Apollo astronauts and the Apollo 11 50th anniversary of the moon landing! Read on and/or listen to the podcast episode and enjoy!   The Apollo 13 Movie Summary Photo by Georges Biard The Apollo 13 movie summary goes a little something like this according to us here at Force Fed Sci-Fi ... During the Apollo program, we have the launch of Apollo 13. Prior to this mission, Apollo 11 and 12 were able to land on the moon and Apollo 13 was slated to do the same. Astronauts Jim Lovell, Fred Haise, and Jack Swigert are eager to make it to the moon, but an explosion occurs as a result of one of the liquid oxygen tanks sparking. Now, NASA has to frantically work to bring the crew home safely as there are many issues that arose because of the explosion (power consumption upon re-entry to earth and even having to build an extra carbon dioxide filter out of whatever the astronauts had on board). After a sling shot after the moon, it takes a while for the crew to return home safely, but with the great minds working on all of these issues, these three astronauts survived against all odds. The Cast of Apollo 13 the Movie Tom Hanks as commander Jim Lovell We at Force Fed Sci-Fi argue that while Hanks had his best roles in the 1990's (Apollo 13 included), Hanks does a phenomenal job at any role he plays, honestly. In Apollo 13, he takes on the great and historic role of astronaut Jim Lovell during the Apollo 13 mission. Hanks, other than the film calling for a bit of dramatization of the historical events, embodied Lovell perfectly. In addition, John Travolta was originally offered this role. Luckily we did not get him as portraying Lovell and were happy to learn that the role went to Tom Hanks. Kevin Bacon as command module pilot Jack Swigert Another great actor included in the Apollo 13 film was Kevin Bacon who played the command module pilot of the Apollo 13 mission, Swigert. Again, a great performance by another great actor taking on this type of role. We'll get into it a bit later, but the way the filmmakers wrote Swigert into the film isn't entirely accurate. Like many other things, dramatization of the film is necessary for a Hollywood film. Bill Paxton as lunar module pilot Fred Haise While we miss Bill Paxton, we have to talk about how wonderful he was in this film as well. Fred Haise had the unfortunate mishap of developing a urinary tract infection while on the Apollo 13 mission. While it's not an actor's dream to act out being sick (especially after taking off in a rocket and throwing up), Paxton did a fine job as Fred Haise. Gary Sinise as Ken Mattingly Gary Sinise had to play the astronaut who was grounded for the Apollo 13 mission (Swigert taking Mattingly's place). The film portrays Ken Mattingly as being pivotal in the role of getting the crew of Apollo 13 mission back home. While we weren't sure that he was the sole person at NASA to come up with the re-entry sequence for the capsule, he was a part of that group. Interestingly, Ron Howard let Sinise pick which character he'd like to tryout and read for, and he chose Mattingly.   Ed Harris as flight director Gene Kranz Gene Kranz was portrayed by the great Ed Harris. Kranz was the daytime flight director during the Apollo 13 mission. We think Ed Harris captured the emotional composure that Kranz would have had to have during this time, but at the same time, you see him worried in the film a bit, especially as the initial explosion occurred on the spacecraft. With all of this, Ed Harris was nominated for best supporting actor...

On the April 11, 1970, at 13.13pm, Apollo 13 launched from the Kenndey Space Center, Florida, in an effort to become mankinds 3rd mission to the lunar surface. Unfortunately for the crew, the mission was doomed to fail years before. Thanks to a miss communication and some clumsy behavior Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert and Fred Hasie came very close to death after an explosion 200,000 miles away from the earth.

Eobard Thawne takes on Jack Swigert’s identity and hitches a ride to the moon on the Apollo 13 mission. The Legends track down Commander Steel to convince him to turn over his piece of the Spear for safekeeping. Synopsis Rip Hunter leaves Henry Heywood in 1965 with the final piece of the Spear of Destiny. He disappears into the crowd as Rip Hunter leads the Legends to the exact spot where he left him, but Commander Steel has already disappeared. The Legends return to the ship and deduce that Henry Heywood must be working for NASA. Sara commands the team to infiltrate NASA and locate Henry. Rip and Ray find Henry preparing to brief the press on the mission. As Rip approaches Henry and holds out his hand, Henry punches Rip in the face. He takes proper press credentials pretty seriously! Sara, Nate and Amaya join Ray and Henry who has locked Rip in a room. They explain why they have come for him in 1970 and he assures them his piece of the Spear is safe because it is not any where on Earth. He’s hidden it inside the flag Neil Armstrong planted on the moon. As soon as the Odyssey goes radio silent, Eobard Thawne resumes his own identity after knocking out the other astronauts. He heads into the lunar module just as miniaturized Ray enters the command module and spots him. Ray tries to stow away with him, but Thawne sees him and an epic space fight ensues. Thanks to zero gravity, Thawne cannot use his superspeed and both are on an equal playing field. Ray shoots Thawne with his phaser and disengages the lunar module. It’s now up to Ray to land the lunar module on the moon. Back on Earth, Jax, Stein and Rory are posing as British controllers. Sara radios down to let them know Ray is about to crash land on the moon and Stein quickly comes-up with a plan to distract the room of flight controllers while Jax cuts the feed. Daylight come and me won go home! Ray more or less lands safely on the moon without enough fuel to launch the LEM back into space. While he retrieves the piece of the Spear, the rest of the Legends onboard the Waverider rescue the command module which is headed straight for an asteroid field. Rip and Sara argue about the best course of action and she ultimately uses the Waverider to shield the command module from the asteroids, causing irreparable damage to the ship. All nonessential systems are shut down, including Gideon. Sara gives Ray the bad news and lets him know he will have to find a way off the moon on his own. With the damage to the Waverider, she won’t be able to pick him up as planned. Thawne convinces Ray that he needs his help and they form a temporary alliance to reroute the dwarf star energy from Ray’s suit to fuel the LEM and reconnect with the command module. On Sara’s mark, they launch the LEM and head straight for the command module, which Sara maneuvers in place with the tractor beam. Eobard is escorted immediately to the brig. With the Odyssey intact on the way home, our team celebrates. Dr. Stein, however, has done the math and realizes it will be next to impossible for the Legends to reenter the Earth’s atmosphere. Luckily, their prisoner is an expert in astronavigation and already knows the angle at which the Waverider needs to reenter the Earth’s atmosphere to remain intact. Unfortunately, they are one degree off the right angle and the only way to correct is to open the cargo bay, by hand. First Rip, then Sara, volunteer, but Henry has already left. Rip coaches him through opening the door as Nate runs to talk him out of it. His son is waiting in mission control. Henry tells Nate to give Hank a message and opens the cargo door. The Waverider is now on course to safely enter the Earth’s atmosphere. As soon as the Legends land, Eobard phases through the glass and Ray keeps him talking just long enough for his Black Flash alarm to go off. Thawne speeds off with no time to look for the other pieces of the Spear. In the final scene, we see Amaya ask Gideon about her future, but you aren’t supposed to know what your future holds…   Links Air and Space Museum - Apollo 13 Mission Arrow Wikia - Appearance Stealing Device FAA Training Manuals - Returning from Space   Contact Information If you want to join in the discussion, you can submit feedback via email to tomorowslegends@gmail.com.

The Waverider falls through the time stream and lands in the Cretaceous Period after evil Rip Hunter utters the override command and forces Gideon to obey him once again. Spaniel. Broad. Tricycle. Synopsis The Legends have deduced who has the final piece of the Spear but not when he might be hidden. Gideon searches for the piece using the medallion but cannot process data fast enough to find the location before Rip uses her to escape from the brig. He takes the medallion, initiates the Spectrum protocol and attempts to make it to the jump ship and escape from the Waverider. The Legends confront him and he destroys the medallion. Now, only Rip knows when Commander Steel is with the final piece. Mick knocks Rip unconscious while Jax reboots the ship, sending them into a freefall through time. Gideon comes back online and jumps to the oldest location in her logs, which happens to be the same time period where Ray was stranded in the premiere of this season. Unfortunately, a vital piece of the ship has been lost during the rough landing. Ray sets out to recover it from his old stomping grounds with Nate and Amaya. Meanwhile on the Waverider, Mick explains to Sara the Time Masters used a process called coggy something, ah yes, Cognitive Intrusion. It is a barbaric Matrix-style process that let’s Sara and Jax enter the subconscious mind of Rip Hunter. While Martin and Mick supervise, Sara and Jax take a trip down the rabbit hole to change Rip back to his old self. As soon as they arrive, they realize they are still on the Waverider in Rip’s mind with some key changes. Rip’s memory of Vandal Savage’s soldiers march past them as they begin to search for Rip. Searching for weapons to defend themselves, Sara encounters her evil doppelganger. After defeating herself, Sara and Jax continue to search for Rip and come face to face with evil versions of Sara, Firestorm, Ray and Rory (well, Rory is pretty much the same, but still). Jax takes off with Firestorm in pursuit, but Sara is knocked out by evil Ray and tossed in the brig. Surprisingly, Rip is cowering in the corner, terrified of everything around him and forgetting who he really is. After giving Firestorm the slip, Jax finds Gideon in human form, presumably as Rip has always imagined her. They find Sara and Rip and help them escape. Gideon explains that only Rip can defeat the evil version of the Legends keeping him imprisoned in his own mind. Sara and Jax wake-up while Rip completes the final obstacle in his mind: leaving a human Gideon behind. In a tender moment, Rip kisses Gideon and wakes up from his trance, finally restored to his former self. He joins the Legends on the bridge as one by one, they welcome him back to the team. In the final scene, we learn where the final piece of the Spear is hidden. Eobard Thawne is posing as a doctor for the space program in 1970 and is about to “examine” astronaut Jack Swigert, a last minute addition to the Apollo 13 team. Houston, we have a problem.
