@diver saidApollo Thirteen: Survival on Netflix
There is an excellent Apollo 13 documentary currently running on Netflix. At least it is in the UK.
It strips away the gloss of the (albeit excellent) movie and dives into the detail exposing the terrifying ordeal.
Thanks for the link. I watched this and it is so good.
It's always amazing to see clips of how the world was before one was born.
Real-life drama in the Mission Control room. No hype. Better than any movie.

@Great-Big-Stees saidSorry to hear about his passing, I was a great fan of his. He won some Stanley Cups with Montreal (6), and arguably one their best Goalies in their Long History! I can still see him leaning on his Goalies Stick when the play was in the opposition end, or a stoppage in play for a face off. I believe he was around 6'4". Probably the tallest goalie in the league at that time.
Ken Dryden 78 of cancer.🥅🏒
