The scenes in apollo 13 of the scientists furiously working give me hope

We need all those steely eyed missile men and women right now.

Edit:
Random side note. My girlfriend isn't really as into space stuff as I am. When I brought up watching Apollo 13 one day, she asked if that was the movie about oil drillers on an asteroid.

I still give her a hard time about that one.

They're there, at MIT, at in Ireland, around the world: https://www.resetera.com/threads/mi...r-ventilator-that-can-be-made-for-100.178088/

They're not getting the air time but there are people around the world working on this shit right now.

You should check out the 13 Minutes to the Moon podcast OP. The second season is ongoing and talks about Apollo 13, with interviews and archive audio. It's really top tier stuff. I wish I was half as intelligent as those guys.

Scene at MIT: Margaret Hamilton’s Apollo code

A brief history of the famous 1969 Margaret Hamilton photo featuring the Apollo software she and her team developed for NASA, sending humans to the moon. Article includes rarely-seen outtakes of Hamilton and her code from the MIT Museum.

Every bit of it is mind boggling.

The work she and her team did on the Apollo project is amazing. I'm a software developer and I have her LEGO Minifigure at my desk at work. Whenever I'm stumped I look at her and pray for help.

There's an Apollo 13 escape room in Houston were they separate you into mission control and astronaut groups to recreate this event. I've always wanted to go, but the recommended group is fairly large and apparently it's pretty hard.

I hope it survives the quarantine because if it does I have a group of friends who would be down to do that in a heartbeat.

My fiancee had never seen it, but she loves all things space and space exploration. We watched it last week and she was fucking enthralled.

I watched last year with my ex. I really doesn't show its age

Also, the beginning explains fairly why US stooped going to the moon at all.

I used to think this movie was funny.

Now its just depressing.

I love this OP. Just sucks we have a President that seems like he's making it hard for these people to do their jobs.

I loved that movie. Watched it again a few months ago.

One of my favorite movies of all time.
