also: the crew of the ill fated #apollo13 was saved by #JudithCohen, who did the Apollo Abort Guidance System and many other aerospace systems

*and then she gave birth to #JackBlack!*

"In a memorial tribute, her son Neil notes that she was troubleshooting problems with schematics on the day she went into labor, called her boss to let him know she had fixed the problem and then delivered Jack"

Admiring the genius of "Apollo 13" (1995)! 🌌 This film epitomizes unmatched ingenuity and teamwork, surmounting incredible odds. It embodies Churchill’s wisdom: success isn't final, failure isn't fatal; courage to continue is vital. 💪🚀 #Apollo13 #CinematicMasterpiece

I'm not a huge fan of #zombie-themes, the film #28DaysLater and the song by #TheCranberries notwithstanding.

But for the past few days my frequent jellyfish-like existence has been de-enhanced by what this morning I realised was yet another faulty #CGM sensor. 🙄😡

I follow all the correct instructions for placing these, and have even watched various vids from users, etc with good tips to ensure it is right.

Sometimes I manage to pop it off just from falling against a doorframe on the perfect angle ( #JellyfishDays don't go with the best balance). It's like the #Apollo13 explanation of the importance of re-entry angle to get into the atmosphere vs bouncing off into space.

My CGMs have frequently become UFOs. 😛

But outright wrong readings? I have no idea how that keeps happening. And when I'm already doing poorly for other reasons, I don't think NOT to trust these readings … which is why I'm 5-ish days of getting insufficient sleep due to the CGM wrongly screaming at me. 😡

And now I'm a zombie. 😢

The movie Apollo 13 is closer to the actual moon mission than it is to today.

So that we crossed that line in 2020 already.

🌑 Actual Mission (1970) ⬇️ 25 years 🎬 Movie Release (1995) ⬇️ 30+ years 📅 Today (2026)

Sorry if I just made you feel ancient. 😅

Een indrukwekkende, gedetailleerde reconstructie van het ongeluk met Apollo 13, inclusief veel originele communicatie.
Al binnen één uur was bekend dat de LM gebruikt zou worden als terugkeer-hulp, wist ik niet.
Ook de rustige wijze van communiceren tussen, bijvoorbeeld, vluchtleider Gene Kranz en commandant Jim Lovell.
Schitterende video van Amy!

@deprogrammaticaipsum I have yet to read the above article, but just in case somebody else sees this, the BBC has made a wonderfull podcast about the moon landing (and a second absolutely nailbiting season about the Apollo 13 accident).
