97th birthday tribute to Jim Lovell; Dems pounce on text snafuSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
James Arthur Lovell war der mit Abstand erfahrenste Astronaut des amerikanischen Mondflugprogramms. Nach seinen Starts mit Gemini 7, Gemini 12 und Apollo 8 sollte der Veteran des Projekts mit Apollo 13 endlich seinen wohlverdienten Spaziergang auf dem Erdtrabanten unternehmen. Doch Lovell sollte als tragischer Held in die Geschichte eingehen, als der Astronaut, der zweimal zum Mond flog, aber nie auf ihm landete. Unser Literaturtipp: James Lovell/Jeffrey Kluger: Apollo 13. London 2015.
Houston, we have a podcast! Join us as we dive into the gripping true story of the Apollo 13 space mission, one of NASA's most harrowing near-disasters. We'll discuss the real-life events, the incredible teamwork that brought the astronauts home safely, and how Ron Howard's Apollo 13 brought this intense moment in history to the big screen. From the legendary “Failure is not an option” mindset to the film's historical accuracy, we explore why this story continues to inspire. Plus, our usual news and listener feedback!

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.
After circling the Moon ten times on Christmas Eve, it was time for Apollo 8 to come home.
Leitura bíblica do dia: Isaías 55:6-13 Plano de leitura anual: Habacuque 1-3, Apocalipse 15 Já fez seu devocional hoje? Aproveite e marque um amigo para fazer junto com você! Confira: Na véspera de Natal de 1968, os astronautas da Apollo 8 Frank Borman, Jim Lovell e Bill Anders tornaram-se os primeiros a orbitar a Lua. Enquanto faziam isso, compartilhavam imagens da Lua e da Terra. Em uma transmissão, revezaram-se lendo Gênesis 1. Na celebração do 40º aniversário, Borman disse: “Fomos informados de que na véspera de Natal teríamos o maior público que já tinha ouvido uma voz humana. E as únicas instruções que recebemos da NASA foram as de fazer algo apropriado”. Os versículos lidos pelos astronautas da Apollo 8 ainda plantam sementes da verdade no coração dos que ouvem a histórica gravação. Por meio do profeta Isaías, Deus diz: “Venham a mim com os ouvidos bem abertos; escutem, e encontrarão vida” (Isaías 55:3). Revelando Sua livre oferta de salvação, Ele nos convida ao afastamento do pecado e a receber Sua misericórdia e perdão (vv.6-7). Ele declara a autoridade divina de Seus pensamentos e Suas ações, que são muito vastos para realmente entendermos (vv.8-9). Ainda assim, Deus nos dá a oportunidade de compartilhar Suas palavras transformadoras, que apontam para Jesus, e afirmam que Ele é responsável pelo crescimento espiritual do Seu povo (vv.10-13). O Espírito Santo nos ajuda a compartilhar o evangelho enquanto o Pai cumpre todas as Suas promessas em Seu tempo e ritmo. Por:Xochitl Dixon
Tonight, we'll read the opening to “Roughing It”, by Mark Twain, published in 1872. It is a semi-autobiographical travel memoir following a young Twain through the Wild West during the 1860s. The book offers a vivid glimpse into a bygone era, filled with stagecoaches, mining camps, and encounters with colorful characters. Twain's signature wit and humor permeate the narrative, as he recounts his experiences as a novice miner, a stagecoach driver, and a journalist. He paints a vivid picture of the rugged landscapes, the bustling towns, and the diverse people he encountered along the way. From the majestic Sierra Nevada mountains to the vast deserts of Nevada, Twain's descriptions transport the reader to a time when the West was still a land of opportunity and adventure. US Astronauts Frank Borman and Jim Lovell read “Roughing It” aloud to pass the time aboard a two week long mission orbiting the earth in 1965. This highlights the book's enduring appeal and its ability to transport readers to another time and place, even in the most extraordinary of circumstances. — read by 'V' — Sign up for Snoozecast+ to get expanded, ad-free access by going to snoozecast.com/plus!

Le vendredi 7 juin, l'astronaute emblématique de la Nasa, William Anders, est tragiquement décédé dans un accident d'avion près des îles San Juan, à environ 150 km de Seattle, dans l'État de Washington, aux États-Unis. Il avait 90 ans. Sa disparition laisse derrière lui un héritage indélébile dans l'exploration spatiale.Né le 17 octobre 1933 à Hong Kong, Anders commence sa carrière en tant que diplômé de l'Académie navale des États-Unis en 1955. Pilote de chasse pour l'Air Defense Command en Californie et en Islande, il a été sélectionné comme astronaute de la Nasa en 1964, devenant pilote de réserve pour la mission Gemini 11 en 1966. Cependant, c'est lors de la mission Apollo 8 en décembre 1968 que sa carrière atteint son apogée. Aux côtés de Jim Lovell et du commandant Frank Borman, Anders a été l'un des premiers humains à orbiter autour de la Lune. C'est à cette occasion qu'il a capturé la célèbre photo intitulée "Lever de Terre", symbolisant la fragilité et la beauté de notre planète vue depuis l'espace.« Nous avons fait tout ce chemin pour explorer la Lune, et la chose la plus importante est que nous avons découvert la Terre », avait-il déclaré à propos de cette image emblématique. « Cela m'a fait comprendre que la Terre était petite, délicate et qu'elle n'était pas le centre de l'univers », avait-il ajouté. L'administrateur de la Nasa, Bill Nelson, a rendu un hommage vibrant à William Anders, saluant sa contribution exceptionnelle au programme spatial et son influence inspirante sur les générations futures d'astronautes. Alors que l'Amérique se prépare à renvoyer des astronautes sur la Lune dans le cadre de la mission Artemis et à explorer Mars, l'héritage de William Anders continuera à guider et à inspirer les explorateurs de l'espace.

Is there a right way to grieve? Rather than prescribed stages, residents of the Highlands have forged their own paths. In the late 1960s, psychiatrist Elisabeth Kübler-Ross interviewed terminally ill patients and posited five stages of dying - denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance. After her 1969 bestseller, On Death and Dying, was published, the stages also became associated with grieving. Kübler-Ross later clarified that the stages could occur in any order or not at all and suggested a possible sixth stage, "meaning," for those grieving. For Nancy Montgomery, one stage could have been "soccer practice." When her husband, Jim Lovell, died on Dec. 1, 2013, in a Metro-North train derailment, she didn't have time to grieve. "I was trying to survive," says Montgomery, a Philipstown resident who is a member of the Putnam County Legislature. "I had three kids and two jobs. We were so busy." Indeed, Montgomery's experience, along with others in the Highlands, illustrates what many psychologists and counselors now believe: that grief doesn't follow any model. "There are no absolutes," says Karla Karpowicz, a psychotherapist who practices in Newburgh. For Montgomery, life without her husband began with help from the community and her and her husband's friends and colleagues. "I had three months of people bringing me food every day," she recalls. "I was carried by this community. I was held." But for years, she didn't grieve. "I dove into the challenges of existing life to avoid it," she says, including her jobs, running for the Philipstown Town Board and taking her teenagers to soccer games and play practice. Her son Jack acted in Haldane's production of Our Town the week after his father died. Montgomery also began to advocate improved safety at Metro-North, such as automatic brakes that might have prevented the derailment that killed Lovell and three other people. While Montgomery attended therapy, it wasn't grief therapy, she says. "I was working through the difficulties of my current life." It wasn't until her sons were on their own as young adults, she says, that she felt the impact of her husband's death. "It became crawling-on-the-floor debilitating," she says. "The photos around my house would stop me in my tracks." By grieving, Montgomery says, she started to become comfortable. "There's nothing to get over," she says. "It's part of me. I'm going to hold the grief until I die. What is grief but love persevering?" The fact that Montgomery's journey didn't follow a tidy path isn't surprising, says Saren Seeley, a postdoctoral researcher at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai Hospital in Manhattan who studies the neuroscience of grief and trauma. Seeley says that the scientific approach to grief has evolved since Sigmund Freud advised patients to detach and move on. "We don't need to detach," she says. "But that bond does need to change. We need to change our relationship with the person to accommodate for the fact that they're no longer on this physical plane." Seeley says that psychologists have largely abandoned Kübler-Ross in favor of a dual-process model - "a dance back and forth between mourning the loss, looking backward and looking forward and dealing with life as it is now." What is the Best Way to Grieve? "There isn't anything that you should never do," says Karla Karpowicz, a grief therapist based in Newburgh. "Everyone is different in how they process grief." It's not an emotion to avoid, says Jane Wilson Cathcart, a Cold Spring therapist who specializes in grief and bereavement. "You don't get over it. You don't get through it. You move forward with it." Therapists agree there is no single way to grieve. But there are some best practices: Seek community and therapy. If you have a spiritual or religious practice, use it. Rituals help. Talk to your primary-care physician. Physical symptoms are often symptoms of grief. Keep a grief journal. Seek out people who can listen and help you emotional...

The NASA Apollo 13 recordings are a unique and valuable resource for understanding the Apollo 13 mission and the challenges faced by the crew. The recordings include everything from the astronauts' conversations with Mission Control to their descriptions of the explosion that damaged the spacecraft and their efforts to survive and return to Earth.The Apollo 13 recordings were recently digitized and restored, and they are now available online for the first time. This is a significant event, as it allows us to hear the events of the mission unfold firsthand from the perspective of the astronauts.The recordings are also a testament to the ingenuity and courage of the Apollo 13 crew. In the face of a crisis, they worked together with Mission Control to find a way to survive and return home safely. Their story is one of hope and resilience, and the recordings provide a powerful reminder of what can be achieved when people work together.Here are some of the most notable moments from the Apollo 13 recordings:"Houston, we've had a problem." - Jim Lovell, reporting the explosion that damaged the spacecraft."Power down everything but the essentials." - Gene Kranz, Flight Director in Mission Control, giving the order to conserve power."We're going to have to use the LM as a lifeboat." - Jim Lovell, deciding to use the Lunar Module to return to Earth."We're going to make it." - Jim Lovell, expressing confidence in the crew's ability to survive and return home."Splashdown confirmed! Apollo 13 is safe." - Mission Control, announcing the safe landing of the Apollo 13 spacecraft in the Pacific Ocean.The Apollo 13 recordings are a fascinating and inspiring record of a mission that could have ended in disaster, but instead became a story of triumph.

Apollo 13 proved thirteen could be a lucky number after all.
Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Jim Rohn, “One customer, well taken care of, could be more valuable than $10,000 worth of advertising.“ After finding this quote for today's show, I began to reflect on the money I see many companies spend on advertising versus the value put on deliverables after new sales are made. Too often, I see everyone striving to bring in new business; they need to remember to follow up and show up after new pieces of business close. Essentially, business goes out the back door as we work and focus on the front door. We need a balance of constant new business development activity and nurturing and delivering great solutions to our existing clients. I have been blessed to live off referrals for most of my sales career. It's not magic or luck. I over-deliver, grow my relationships by playing to the long game, not looking for transactional business, and remain relevant and valuable to ALL my past and present clients.

But did you know the context of that quote? What the actual problem is? Did you know just how close Apollo 13 came to being the worst disaster in the history of space exploration? Let's fix that.

Jim Lovell, Fred Haise and Jack Swigert went through the ordeal of their lives on the Apollo 13 Mission. But the people manning Houston's Mission Control faced their own challenges as they figured out how to bring the astronauts home safe. Former NASA Flight Director Gerry Griffin was in that room, more than 50 years ago. He joins Host Mike Corey to share his experiences steering the mission from the ground, and what it was like to advise director Ron Howard on the movie, Apollo 13.Listen early and ad free with Wondery+.

Zach & Zo are all set for a thrilling, yet routine mission of spaceflight in the late 1960's America. 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.

As the year 1965 ended, astronauts Jim Lovell and Frank Borman were proving that human beings could adapt to the environment of space, having lived there for almost two weeks before successfully returning home. Similarly, the Gemini program and NASA itself were also getting used to a new environment. An environment where they were focussed less on meeting the daily challenges of the Gemini program and more on how to use what they were learning there to help them get to the Moon. Hosted on Acast.

The history of the U.S. space program is the story of American pioneers; brave men and women who boldly went where no one before them had gone. Their names have become synonymous with bravery and courage – Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, Jim Lovell. We shared in their accomplishments – Apollo 11 - held our breath in their struggles – Apollo 13 – and wept in their disasters – Challenger. But some of the most amazing, most unbelievable stories surrounding our space program are some to the most obscure – perfect for an inquisitive podcast devoted to exposing lesser-known stories from history. For instance, did you know that America's most iconic cartoon character was also a crew member on the mission that set the stage for the moon landing? Or that that same illustrated beagle is the moniker gifted to NASA members who go above and beyond for the betterment of the program? On this episode of The Missing Chapter, the unique relationship that exists between America's establishment to explore the stars… and a beloved star here on earth.

Just thirteen minutes after the explosion, Commander Jim Lovell looked out the window to see evidence that pointed toward catastrophe.
On Christmas Eve 1968, the Apollo 8 astronauts—Frank Borman, Jim Lovell, and Bill Anders—became the first humans to enter lunar orbit. As they circled the moon ten times, they shared images of the moon and the earth. During a live broadcast, they took turns reading from Genesis 1. At the fortieth anniversary celebration, Borman said, “We were told that on Christmas Eve we would have the largest audience that had ever listened to a human voice. And the only instructions that we got from NASA was to do something appropriate.” The Bible verses spoken by the Apollo 8 astronauts still plant seeds of truth into the listening hearts of people who hear the historical recording. Through the prophet Isaiah, the Lord says, “Give ear and come to me; listen, that you may live” (Isaiah 55:3). Revealing His free offer of salvation, God invites us to turn from our sin and receive His mercy and forgiveness (vv. 6–7). He declares the divine authority of His thoughts and His actions, which are too vast for us to truly understand (vv. 8–9). Still, He gives us opportunity to share His life-transforming words of Scripture, which point to Jesus, and affirm that He is responsible for the spiritual growth of His people (vv. 10–13). The Holy Spirit helps us share the gospel as the Father fulfills all His promises according to His perfect plan and pace.
Thanks to the 1995 Tom Hanks movie of the same name, Apollo 13 is arguably the best known of the Apollo missions. Public attentnion and support of the Apollo program was falling, but after an onboard explosion but the Apollo 13 astronauts' lives in danger, the entire world waited with bated breath to see if NASA would be able to get the crew back to Earth alive.The Space Race series introduction music is Lift Off by kennysvoice.As always, a very special thanks to Mountain Up Cap Company for its continued help to spread the word about the podcast on Facebook at: https://www.facebook.com/MountainUpCapCompany Climb to Glory!For more information about the podcast visit: · The GoA website: https://www.ghostsofarlingtonpodcast.com · Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ghostsofarlingtonpodcast· Twitter: https://twitter.com/ArlingtonGhosts· Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ghostsofarlington/

'' Je savais, en partant, que la mission Apollo 13 ne resterait pas dans l'Histoire. Mais pour moi, après trois vols dans l'espace, dont Apollo 8 - nous avions tourné en orbite autour de la Lune -, c'était le but de ma carrière de pilote d'essai, presque une drogue, l'accomplissement d'un rêve d'enfant: cette fois, j'allais pouvoir enfin marcher sur la Lune ! '' Ces mots, ce sont ceux du commandant Jim Lovell, l'un des 3 héros de la mission Apollo 13 qui a failli tourner au cauchemar. Il ne mettra jamais les pieds sur la Lune, et avec ses deux coéquipiers Jack Swigert et Fred Haise, il a bien failli ne jamais remettre les pieds sur la Terre.

Apollo 13, ne devait être qu'une simple formalité. À peine un an après la mission Apollo 11 et l'exploit du premier pas de l'Homme sur la Lune d'Armstrong, Aldrin et Collins, Apollo 13 devait être la troisième mission ayant pour objectif de faire atterrir des hommes sur la Lune. Ce lundi 13 avril 1970, deux jours et huit heures après le début de la mission Apollo 13, tout semble rouler au mieux là-haut pour Lovell et ses deux amis, pourtant, tout va basculer. Il est 21h08, heure de Houston, la Nasa reçoit un message qui va entrer dans l'Histoire : "Houston nous avons un problème", prononcé par Jim Lovell. Ce soir dans "Jour J" depuis la Cité de l'Espace à Toulouse, on décolle vers la Lune. Notre invité est Oliver Sanguy, responsable de l'actualité spatiale à la Cité de l'Espace.
There is always bound to be a first - the first person to climb Mount Everest, the first person to run a four-minute mile, the first woman to become president.

Apollo 13, one of the most remembered moments in the history of NASA. By April of 1970 going to the moon had become almost "ho hum". The television networks did not even bother to show the inflight special broadcast from the spaceflight. Then when the Astronauts were preparing their ship for the long voyage to the moon, BAM!! An explosion, followed by the calm immortal words of mission Captain Jim Lovell back to the Mission Control Center..."Houston, We have a problem." If you have seen the movie you know it was high drama as the spacecraft ended up crippled and good old American ingenuity had to kick in in order to bring the three Astronauts home. This is that story, as recorded live in real time. Over and over again, our three astronauts Jim Lovell, Fred Haise and Jim Swigert and all of their expert associates on the ground at Mission Control have to overcome life threatening obstacle after obstacle until they finally land in the Pacific back home here on Earth. For over the next hour listen in at NASA's finest hour as the World comes together once again to pray that our men make it home, on a wing, a prayer, and a roll of Duc tape.
