ASTRONAUTS (continued): • The TV show that was interrupted by a news bulletin about the gripping situation of the Gemini 8 was called Batman. Neil Armstrong and David Scott survived the event, while Batman and Robin outwitted the Catwoman. ANOTHER BAD DAY IN SPACE • The ill-fated Apollo 13 mission was supposed to be the third landing of a man on the moon. Instead, it turned into a hair-raising ordeal when an oxygen tank in the service module exploded due to faulty wiring only 56 hours after launch. The lunar landing was cancelled as the astronauts swung around the moon and headed back to earth. Their damaged command module was abandoned and all three astronauts crowded into the lunar module Aquarius as a lifeboat for the four-day return trip home. • The lunar module was intended for use on the moon and was outfitted to support two people for two days, and now it had to support three people for four days. Much jury-rigging was done in order to accomplish the safe return to earth, as much of the world watched the ordeal unfold on TV. • The crew was extremely lucky that the emergency occurred when they were still on the first leg of their journey to the moon and still had enough supplies, equipment, and power to get them home again. If it had happened on their return journey, especially after the lunar module had already been left behind, it is likely that they would have died. • Against all odds, the astronauts returned home in good condition except for exhaustion and dehydration, and one of them had a urinary tract infection from the lack of water. • Superstitious people point out that the mission was, after all, Apollo 13, that the mission blasted off at 13:13 military time, and that the accident happened on April 13, 1970.
