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.

Nerves wracking, especially since in the prior uncrewed test the heat shield failed with holes burnt in the shield material and the metal bolts melted.
