“We WILL get through this together.”ย
In the movie “Apollo 13,” the spacecraft su๏ฌers damage and the astronauts move through a series of procedures to prepare the spacecraft for reentry into the Earthโs atmosphere. Given the damage, success is hardly assured. While they are working, Bill Paxton (who plays astronaut Fred Haise Sr.) questions whether Mission Control in Houston is giving the astronauts accurate information. Tom Hanks (who plays captain Jim Lovell) says:
โAll right, thereโs a 1,000 things that have to happen in order. We are on No. 8. Youโre talking about No. 692โฆ Weโre not going to go bouncing o๏ฌ the walls for 10ย minutes, because weโre just going to end up back here with the same problems!โ
