Listening to the actual Apollo 13 communications recordings is wild. Maybe it's just the recording, but they sound so focused and professional that the film characters seem panicky by comparison!
Revisited Apollo 13 this morning. The entirety of their mission, from grinding simulations to Saturn 5 clearing the tower to disaster to recovery is a testament to what a roomful (and LEM full) of humanity at the top of their game can accomplish.
