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.
@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.
