Apollo 13 you are go
00:00:02.918 --> 00:00:05.378
You were a little superstitious about 13 weren't you
00:00:05.421 --> 00:00:08.715
Yes I didn't care for you flying on 13 at all
00:00:09.508 --> 00:00:13.303
S 4B is stable SLA panels are drifting free
00:00:13.387 --> 00:00:17.599
The drogue is clear The docking target is clear
00:00:18.434 --> 00:00:21.854
I'm coming up on that now Two one mark
00:00:22.354 --> 00:00:25.023
Seventy five feet We're coming up on docking
00:00:25.107 --> 00:00:27.567
Let's shut down some thrusters on them
00:00:27.061 --> 00:00:31.572
We spent thousands of hours I guess total in simulators
00:00:31.614 --> 00:00:34.007
and they were very accurate as to the actual flight
00:00:34.783 --> 00:00:38.998
which is very fortunate because we could practice in the simulator
00:00:38.012 --> 00:00:40.455
and then it'd be very easy to do the real thing
00:00:40.539 --> 00:00:41.706
No I got it
00:00:41.079 --> 00:00:44.626
Let me just try and get it stable here
00:00:44.668 --> 00:00:48.088
I'm gonna reset the high gain I've got the target back in the reticle
00:00:48.964 --> 00:00:51.883
Okay we're stable Recycle the valves
00:00:51.967 --> 00:00:54.844
Forty feet They're all gray
00:00:57.064 --> 00:00:58.891
