Legend of the Moon Watch∶omega Speedmaster(ii) | Bill Clinton
Another dispute Speedmaster was to do with Apollo 13 which was filmed. In July 1970, Apollo 13 was implemented as planned. When the spacecraft flied in the space, everything seemed to be motionless, and time and space seemed to lose coordinate, the trip to the moon was as quiet as the universe. But an unexpected disaster came suddenly: when the spacecraft approached the moon, the oxygen slot exploded, which caused the spacecraft lose oxygen and electricity. At the same time, the control center received a message from the spacecraft that was 205.000 kilometers away: Houston, we have an accident!These new short disturbed all the scientists and engineers in the center, it was the news they did not want to hear more.
Currently, three astronauts are faced with a challenge they never had, they had to return to earth in just four days, except for the wireless driver from the control center, they to fix everything by themselves.Not to be a lonely soul in space and not be separated from their families, these three men conquered a lot of difficulties through their strong will and good cooperation, finally, a very important moment came: Apollo 13 had to calculate 14 seconds exactly who was the moment of ignition, so that Apollo 13 could escape the Moon's orbit and entered the Eartha € ™ s and return. At that time Director of astronauts Jim Lovell (acted by Tom Hank in the movie) and Jack Swigert completed the timing by wristwatches (another astronaut was Fred Haise who replaced Ken Matingly). ?The Best of Times: Rolex, an unauthorized history? Written by James Dowling and Jeffrey Hess says that was the GMT-Master worn by Jack Swigertg that helped Apollo 13 returned to earth safely. James Dowling admitted that one was primarily responsible for timing was possible the Speedmaster worn by Jim Lovell, but he did not say it was GMT-Master of Jack Swigert that helped Apollo 13 to return safely....
