Well, it's great that they got home safe, but, like Mrs. Lovell said in the movie: "How is NOT getting to the moon more interesting?"

it was great that they saved the crew, but i feel that, if you have to pick a specific mission out of that program, 11 is the one to focus on

but let's face it, america will be remembered for a lot of amazing things, but apollo will stand head and shoulders above everything else, for centuries, for millenia

Yes, Apollo 11 is what it is, but 13 was unbelievably amazing because they had to improvise a new mission, in space, in a few days, with no specific training for it. Forget the fact that they didn't make it to the Moon, the moment the side of the ship blew up, the mission changed.

And Russia's recent Proton rocket mishap will remain, if not the worst, then the most embarrassing failure in Russian rocketry.

My neighbor who worked for Grumman had a nice mock-receipt to be sent to NASA for the work the Grumman people did for getting the Apollo-13 crew home safe. Funny in a dorky engineer kind of way.

Poor Cody.
