Timeline cleanser. My son (3) watching the “Apollo 13” launch sequence scene. (And my messy home office.)

Watching the splashdown of Artemis II takes me back to 1970 sat in grade prep watching Apollo 13 splash down on a small black and white Television with dodgy bunny ear antennas and poor reception. The teacher telling us we were watching history happening

"The Artemis II astronauts set a new record for the farthest distance from Earth traveled by humans — 252,756 miles, surpassing the previous mark set by Apollo 13 in 1970." -- I mean, that's amazing, but absolutely playing down the fact Apollo 13 did not set that record by choice.

Watched Apollo 13 with my oldest and when the German scientist came on screen I stopped the movie to tell her about Operation Paperclip. If you know me or my work you know I’ve been waiting for this moment since I took her home from the hospital

The final line in “Apollo 13” is Tom Hanks as Jim Lovell saying, “I look up at the moon and wonder, when we will be going back, and who will that be?” I remember seeing that as a kid and thinking it would probably never happen, but now it’s here. Pretty amazing stuff.

On the day I was born, there were people on the moon.
I have spent my life asking the same questions Jim Lovell asks at the end of Apollo 13: “When are we going back? And who will that be?”
Now I know.
Welcome home, Integrity.

Welcome home! 👩🏻🚀🧑🏾🚀🧑🏻🚀🧑🏻🚀
No sonic boom for us, alas. But so thrilled they’re safe.
Anyone else have James Horner’s Apollo 13 score playing in their head waiting for them to come out of comms blackout?

There hasn't been a crewed lunar mission since I've been alive.
The closest I've come to this is the entry sequence in 1995's Apollo 13.
That scene was... uncomfortable.
This is WAY worse

The parachutes of the integrity space module are deployed.
Splashdown of the integrity space module.
I always get misty eyed watching the splashdown scene in Apollo 13 and seeing the real thing did the same thing... I just got something in my eye, okay? ❤️ Welcome home #Artemis II! #NASA #Science #Space

The teacher wheeled a big old B&W TV into my 3rd grade classroom so we could see the reentry and splashdown of Apollo 13.
Damn, the cheering when we saw the parachutes.
I know the stakes and risks a lot more now. Nerve wracking.

*Watching Artemis II re-entry with my dad*
Dad: So what happens next?
Me: You saw Apollo 13, they get air lifted out.
Dad: What on the spaceship was nuclear? You know nuclear.
Me: I'm a nuclear physicist, not an astrophysicist.
Dad: No nuclear?
Me: God, I hope not.

Love that Apollo 13 (1995) is trending because that splashdown scene with the James Horner score - tears. Artemis II does remind me of that. Beautiful that they made it home ok. Still crazy that it took 50 years to get back to the moon.

The Artemis has landed safety. When Apollo 13 was into reentry the news shared that moment by staying focused with the rest of the world waiting to see if the heatshield had done its job. MSNOW went to commercial. Fox News stayed focused. News and commercials don't mix. Fox did it right for once.
