I never thought I would see in a book, "Special thanks to Jim Lovell and Jim Busby."[/B][/QUOTE]

Now, to mark the forthcoming 40th anniversary of the spacecraft’s dramatic rescue, you can experience the tension for yourself with over an hour of video on Sky at Night Magazine's April issue cover CD-ROM. This special disc features 40 minutes of nail-biting footage from the BBC archive, much of it unseen for the past 40 years. Alongside interviews with the recovery divers and pilots, there's video of the studio team of James Burke, Cliff Michelmore and Patrick Moore, who can't hide their tension in the mission's final stages. There's also a NASA video showing how controllers managed to guide the crippled spacecraft round the Moon and safely back home. This half-hour film includes on-board footage shot in the craft, plus behind-the-scenes video of staff and astronauts troubleshooting the fault and putting an emergency plan into action. What's more there's declassified NASA documents on the life- threatening fault that hit the spacecraft and a gallery of images of key moments in the Apollo 13 mission. The April issue of Sky at Night Magazine goes on sale on Tuesday 23 March, priced £4.25.</div></BLOCKQUOTE> <center><object width="400" height="321"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Yv6DSuVY7XA&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&hd=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Yv6DSuVY7XA&hl=en_US&fs=1&rel=0&hd=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="400" height="321"></embed></object></center></TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>uk spacefan</TD><TD>Thanks Robert - really interesting stuff.

The BBC footage was great, the tension just flew out of the screen, what it must have felt like to watch all that unfolding in real time I will never know.I wonder if there is any chance of the BBC doing a similar release as they did with the 'Apollo 11 - A Night To Remember' DVD.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>paulushumungus</TD><TD>The cover disc is great and well worth the price of the magazine but surprisingly there was nothing in the magazine itself about the Apollo 13 mission. </TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>Paul23</TD><TD>I have to say that surprised me as well, I looked through the magazine a couple of times as I was convinced I must have missed something!</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>Blackarrow</TD><TD>The idea of someone "having a rummage" through the BBC archives for Apollo coverage is tantalising. I always wondered if the BBC had kept video of their coverage of the later Apollo landing missions, specifically including live colour TV footage. I know we have the original NASA video-record, but a lot of us fondly remember the BBC's coverage, with Patrick Moore, James Burke and others. It would be great if some of this could be unearthed and made available.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>Robert Pearlman</TD><TD>The Adler Planetarium in Chicago, Illinois as part of their <A HREF="http://adlerplanetarium.org/apollo13/index.shtml" TARGET=_blank>Apollo 13 celebration</A> are distributing a series of commemorative posters during the month of April: <BLOCKQUOTE>During the month of April, the Adler is proud to celebrate this historic mission.

It took me back to that warm Friday afternoon and early evening when they came in, BBC 1 usually closed down and showed their test card after 2:00 pm but not this day, they displayed a constant update and time to re-entry count all afternoon against the 13 crew emblem with air-to-ground open.The coverage on the Sky at Night disc is a lovely example of just how good James Burke and team were. Happy days.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>E2M Lem Man</TD><TD>Yeah but just try getting one here in the U.S. The issue on the stands here is the February issue at B&N and Borders.

Anderton</TD><TD>I always wondered if the BBC had kept video of their coverage of the later Apollo landing missions, specifically including live colour TV footage.I am reliably informed that there is much more surviving BBC Apollo coverage than was originally thought. Unfortunately, though, it drops off considerably after Apollo 10.For example, the colour VT of the coverage of Apollo 13's main LM engine burn on the way home survives intact.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>Blackarrow</TD><TD>Colin, please ask your "reliable informant" if he can persuade the BBC to release some of these hidden treasures on DVD, or at least make them more readily accessible. Not much point in having an archive if the film or tape lies permanently in rusting tin cans!</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>NJSPACEFAN</TD><TD>The April edition of Sky At Night was stocked today at my local Barnes & Noble - check yours, with the Apollo 13 CD-ROM and with the B&N membership card and a 10% discount cost $7.87.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#494949"><TD valign=top>minipci</TD><TD>I managed to finally watch all the CD last night, and I must say that I'm very impressed with it. However, I do wish that they had made a proper DVD devoted just to the Apollo 13 coverage, and included a whole lot more from the archives. Not sure if there were more pre-flight reports from James Burke in the original BBC coverage, but it would have been nice to have been able to see more of the studio discussions.</TD></TR><TR bgcolor="#333333"><TD valign=top>cspg</TD><TD> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>Originally posted by Lasv3: Apogee Books prepares the 40th anniversary Apollo 13 Mission Report release...<HR></BLOCKQUOTE> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1926592158?ie=UTF8&tag=collectspace&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=1926592158" TARGET="AirLock">Apollo 13: NASA Mission Reports</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=collectspace&l=as2&o=1&a=1926592158" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> Edited by Robert Godwin <BLOCKQUOTE>Capturing one of the most gripping stories in the history of space travel, this account documents the harrowing flight of Apollo 13. Beginning with the launch of the Saturn V juggernaut, this chronicle depicts the explosion that left the spacecraft crippled, followed by the agonizing days the crew spent in near frigid temperatures while the technicians at home worked around the clock to keep them alive. Illustrating how the spirit of daring and ingenuity came to life in the team at Mission Control in order to bring their men home safely, this overview includes never-before-seen documentation of the voyage, an exclusive interview with Jim Lovell, footage of the launch itself, and coverage of the post-flight press conference. With a vast collection of photographs taken by the crew themselves, this record shows why a spaceflight some considered to be a catastrophic failure has since been recognized as one of NASA’s truly legendary moments. A bonus CD-ROM features the NASA video documentary "Houston We've Got A Problem," the pre-explosion in-flight television broadcast from Apollo 13, an exclusive video interview with Commander James Lovell, video of the launch of Apollo 13, nearly 600 Hasselblad photographs taken by the Apollo 13 crew, an extensive NASA acronym database, video of the post-flight Apollo 13 press conference, and much more.</BLOCKQUOTE> <UL TYPE=SQUARE><LI>Paperback: 264 pages <LI>Publisher: <A HREF="http://www.cgpublishing.com/Books/9781926592152.html" TARGET=_blank>Collector's Guide Publishing, Inc.</A>; 40th anniversary ed edition (May 1, 2010) <LI>ISBN-10: 1926592158 <LI>ISBN-13: 978-1926592152</UL></TD></TR></TABLE></td></tr></table>
