    About this ebook

    Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

    #1 The stories about the poison pills at NASA were jokes. There were no situations in which you would ever consider making an early exit, and even if there were, you had lots of easier ways to do it than poison pills.

    #2 The people in Houston felt bad about all this, and came on the line to say so. Apollo 13, we’ve got lots and lots of people working on this. We’ll get you some dope as soon as we have it, and you’ll be the first one to know.

    #3 The atmosphere in the studio was electric from the moment Bergman arrived. He would be getting only a minute or so of live airtime, but he knew he would have to pack a lot of information into that short sweep of the clock.

    #4 The astronauts on board the Apollo 13 spacecraft suffered a major electrical failure, leaving them in no immediate danger, but ruling out any chance of a lunar landing. The astronauts would have to abandon ship and make their way into the lunar module.

      'The Only Plane In The Sky' Offers A Powerful, Graphic Narrative Of Sept. 11

      When today's children someday ask what Sept. 11 was really like, Garrett Graff's book will be the answer: He vividly recounts the most upsetting and totemic moments — and critical, little-told others.

      #1

      The stories about the poison pills at NASA were jokes. There were no situations in which you would ever consider making an early exit, and even if there were, you had lots of easier ways to do it than poison pills.

      #2

      The people in Houston felt bad about all this, and came on the line to say so. Apollo 13, we’ve got lots and lots of people working on this. We’ll get you some dope as soon as we have it, and you’ll be the first one to know.

      #3

      The atmosphere in the studio was electric from the moment Bergman arrived. He would be getting only a minute or so of live airtime, but he knew he would have to pack a lot of information into that short sweep of the clock.

      #4

      The astronauts on board the Apollo 13 spacecraft suffered a major electrical failure, leaving them in no immediate danger, but ruling out any chance of a lunar landing. The astronauts would have to abandon ship and make their way into the lunar module.

      #5

      The White House invited the astronauts to attend the reception, and it was their job to circulate and socialize with the guests. Lovell was good at this, and he didn’t expect anything out of the ordinary to happen that night.

      #6

      The signing of the Treaty on Principles Governing the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space was a celebration of the space age, and it was attended by astronauts Lovell and Aldrin.

      #7

      The astronauts were chosen to represent America in the signing of the Outer Space Treaty. The treaty guaranteed that outer space would remain non-militarized, that no country would declare any Earth orbital zone as its own, and that land claims would never be made on the moon, Mars, or any other place humanity’s rockets might one day reach.

      #8

      The astronauts were worried about the safety of the astronauts. They wanted to know that they could fly over any country, even a hostile country, and be guaranteed a cordial reception if they had to abort.

      #9

      The Apollo spacecraft was turning out to be an Edsel. It was dangerous, and had accumulated thousands of defects during its development. The worry was that something might go wrong during the countdown test, which was being run by the astronauts themselves.

      #10

      The Apollo spacecraft had many problems during its test flight, but Grissom and White were still excited to fly it. The astronauts found nettlesome problems with the air-to-ground communications system as well.

      #11

      At 6:20 Florida time, the countdown reached T minus 10 minutes, and the clock was stopped temporarily while the engineers fiddled with the communications problem and a few other glitches. As in any real launch, this ersatz one was being monitored at both the Cape and the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston.

      #12

      On the gantry, communications technician James Gleaves began running toward the White Room, which led from the uppermost level of the gantry to the spacecraft. In the blockhouse, communications technician Gary Propst saw flames play about the seam of the hatch.

      #13

      When the cabin pressure reached 29 pounds per
