    Apollo 13

    Fifty years to the day that Jim Lovell announced, "Houston, we've had a problem"

    Like millions around the world, I was glued to the telly as the crews lives hung in the balance.

    It was an incredible feat of ingenuity (and luck) that got them back safely.

    Some newly released hi-res photographs at the link.

    Is this the one that was filmed at the back of a Hollywood studio, or was that the Moon Landing ?

    Neither. Both were filmed at Area 51 in Nevada.

    Meh, not much different from rest of western world......under partial lock down except for essential services. We're not even close to hitting the peak yet. A high % of deaths are in care homes. Our main problem is close proximity to the US although border is shut except for produce/product back and forth daily. It may only take the 'orange to$$er' to have a bad day and decide to close the border totally, then we're in deep sh*t! That PoS it totally out of control!

    Hasn't the Donald stopped an American company sending PPE or something to Canada ? Don't get the wrong side of Orange Man or you'll end up like Iran or the WHO, or something.
