The teacher wheeled a big old B&W TV into my 3rd grade classroom so we could see the reentry and splashdown of Apollo 13.

Damn, the cheering when we saw the parachutes.

I know the stakes and risks a lot more now. Nerve wracking.

OK. Everybody on Earth, PUT ON YOUR APE MASKS AS PLANNED.
Phew

Cameras and chase plans more advanced now then in the early 70s.

So we get to see the capsule free-falling, waiting for the parachutes to deploy.

That was nerve-wracking.

BREAKING: Trump to congratulate crew of Integrity and blather on for fifteen minutes about how the next mission will be made in the biggest capsule ever, with only the best gold doo-dads and bespoke marble. Rocket scientists, big tough guys, came up to him crying about how beautiful his plans are.
@StefanEJones YES YES best prank ever. Elon has dough he should buy the entire planet ape masks, since he wont buy everyone lunch.
@StefanEJones it'll be interesting to see which of us became gorillas or chimps or orangutans
@StefanEJones missed opportunities
@StefanEJones Okay, but partly burying the Statue of Liberty at Leo Carrillo Beach is going to be tough with this little notice, especially as they splashed down off the west coast.

@StefanEJones ape masks?

i don't understand

*takes down the human mask*
