All around the Mulberry Bush,
The monkey chased the weasel.
The monkey stopped to pull up his sock,
Pop! goes the weasel.

Half a pound of tuppenny rice,
Half a pound of treacle.
Mix it up and make it nice,
Pop! goes the weasel.

White lips, pale face
Breathing in the snowflakes
Burnt lungs, sour taste
Light's gone, days end
Struggling to pay rent
Long nights, strange men
And they say
She's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18
But lately, her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
'Cause we're just under the upper hand
And go mad for a couple grams
And she don't wanna go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the motherland
Or sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
Angels to fly
Ripped gloves, raincoat
Tried to swim, stay afloat
Dry house, wet clothes
Loose change, bank notes
Weary-eyed, dry throat
Call girl, no phone
And they say
She's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18
But lately, her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
And they scream
The worst things in life come free to us
'Cause we're just under the upper hand
And go mad for a couple grams
But she don't wanna go outside tonight
And in a pipe she flies to the motherland
Sells love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
An angel will die
Covered in white
Closed eyes and hopin' for a better life
This time, we'll fade out tonight
Straight down the line
And they say
She's in the Class A Team
Stuck in her daydream
Been this way since 18
But lately, her face seems
Slowly sinking, wasting
Crumbling like pastries
They scream
The worst things in life come free to us
And we're all under the upper hand
And go mad for a couple grams
And we don't wanna go outside tonight
And in the pipe, fly to the motherland
Or sell love to another man
It's too cold outside
For angels to fly
Angels to fly
Fly, fly
For angels to fly, to fly, to fly
Angels to die

Ah ah, oh oh
Ah ah, oh oh
Ah ah, oh oh oh oh
I can hear you but I won't
Some look for trouble
While others don't
There's a thousand reasons
I should go about my day
And ignore your whispers
Which I wish would go away
Oh, oh, oh
Ah ah, oh oh
Oh
Ah ah, oh oh oh
You're not a voice
You're just ringing in my ear
And if I heard you, which I don't
I'm spoken for I fear
Everyone I've ever loved is here within these walls
I'm sorry, secret siren, but I'm blocking out your calls
I've had my adventure, I don't need something new
I'm afraid of what I'm risking if I follow you
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
Ah ah, oh oh
Ah ah, oh oh, oh
What do you want?
'Cause you've been keeping me awake
Are you here to distract me
So I make a big mistake?
Or are you someone out there
Who's a little bit like me?
Who knows deep down
I'm not where I'm meant to be?
Every day's a little harder
As I feel my power grow
Don't you know there's part of me
That longs to go
Into the unknown?
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
Ah ah, ah ah
Ah ah, ah ah
Oh, oh, oh
Are you out there?
Do you know me?
Can you feel me?
Can you show me?
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah ah
Where are you going?
Don't leave me alone
How do I follow you
Into the unknown?

Hope this finds everyone well and in good health.

“Apollo 13” is an excellent movie and worth watching again! We use
this every year as a transition from chemistry to physics. Though I
have seen it literally 100 times, (5 times a year, once in each class for
the past 20 years!) I still look forward to it!

There are 2 main take-aways from the movie: First, the science! How
do we know how a rocket, star or galaxy will act? We do the math!
PHYSICS! Second, and equally as important, ATTITUDE! As stated
in the movie, we went to the moon because we decided to! Space
travel became possible because we decided it was possible! I can not
give you a copy of the move but I do have a summary (and worksheet,
not required). Enjoy!

Lucky 13

On April 11, 1970, Apollo 13 blasted off from Earth on the 13th
minute of the 13th hour of the day. More superstitious men would
not have volunteered for the flight, which was the third manned
mission to the Moon. But if Commander Jim Lovell and his fellow
astronauts Fred Haise and Jack Swigert had any lingering doubts
about tempting fate with unlucky thirteen, these would have
probably vanished by the evening of the second day of the trip.
Things were going so smoothly that mission headquarters on Earth
radioed up: “The spacecraft is in real good shape as far as we are
concerned. We’re bored to tears down here.”

But on the morning of the third day, completely out of the blue,
there was a violent explosion. In the ship’s tiny command module,
the crew heard a loud bang and felt their craft shudder. An alarm
instantly filled the capsule and control panel lights began to flash,
indicating that vital power and oxygen supplies were quickly ebbing
away.
The astronauts had been trained to keep a cool head, but their first
radio message to NASA (National Aeronautics and Space
Administration) headquarters in Houston, sounded distinctly edgy.
“OK, Houston, we’ve had a problem.”
They’d had an extremely serious problem. An oxygen fuel tank in
the service module had blown up when a heating switch
malfunctioned. The trouble this caused immediately doubled when
another oxygen tank linked to it also emptied out into space.
It was April 13, after all.
Apollo 13’s crew, and he staff at Mission Control, Houston, were
baffled. At Houston, where every aspect of the flight was being
closely monitored by hundreds of technicians, instrument readings
suggested that either the explosion should never have happened, or
it should have destroyed Apollo 13.
There was no emergency procedure for an accident like this. When

NASA had designed the Apollo craft, many safety features and back-
ups had been built in. But engineers had assumed that anything

which knocked out two oxygen tanks would also destroy the
spaceship. One senior engineer summed up their thinking should
this happen: “You can kiss those guys goodbye.” But now it had
happened, and the astronauts were still very much alive

Apollo 13

Explosion
happened here

Service module,
containing fuel,
electricity and life
support systems

Command module, where
Lunar module, designed to the crew lived during the
take two astronauts down trip. The only part of the
to the surface of the Moon. spacecraft designed to
return to Earth.

At first Lovell, Swigert and Haise did not understand just how
seriously their ship had been damaged. But 14 minutes after the
explosion, Lovell noticed a cloud of white has drifting past a
command module window. This was the oxygen leaking away from
the ruptured tanks. So much had been lost that it now enveloped
the ship like a ghostly mist. This was the moment when Lovell
realized how serious their situation actually was. They were alive,
for now, but Apollo 13 could become their tomb, locked in a
perpetual orbit between Earth and the Moon.
But not everything was stacked against them. Lovell, who was 42,
was on his second trip to the Moon, and was America’s most
experienced astronaut. He had a reputation for good fortune. “If
Jim fell into a creek’” said a colleague, “he’d come up with a trout in
his pocket.”
Even now, he was living up to his reputation. Lovell’s crewmates
were both new to space, but he could not have hoped for a more
appropriate crew to cope with the disaster that had overtaken them.
Swigert, the command module pilot, was an expert in Apollo
emergency procedures. Haise, the lunar module pilot, had spent 14
months in the factory that built his spacecraft. He knew this
complex machine inside out.
As Apollo 13 continued on its Moon-bound trajectory (flight path),
instruments indicating power and oxygen supplies were now all
heading stubbornly to zero. The command module, which was to
have been their home for the journey between Earth and the Moon
and back, was close to breaking down. Lovell estimated it would
only keep his crew alive for another two hours.
To survive they needed to move to the lunar module, the part of the
spacecraft designed to take two men down to the Moon’s surface.

This part of Apollo 13 had so far remained unused on this flight.
Now hundreds of switches had to be operated to bring it to life.

Aboard the dying command module, Lovell, Swigert and Haise began
these painstaking procedures. Complex coordinates were logged
into the lunar module’s navigation computers, life support systems
whirred into operation, and instrument panels flickered into life.
The men worked as quickly as they dared. A mistake made here
could prove fatal.

Finally, the lunar module was ready. When they had shut down the
fading power supplies of the command module, the three moved
through a small connecting tunnel and into its cramped interior. But
there was no chance of landing on the Moon. Their only priority was
to get home alive. Swigert insisted their first task aboard the lunar
module should be to make a course correction. This would shorten
their journey by a day or so, taking them around the Moon and back
to Earth as quickly as possible. So, five hours after the explosion,
Lovell ignited the lunar module’s engines in a 30 second burst.
Everything went as intended. Now their supplies would not have to
last so long.
With one essential task out of the way, the crew took a long hard
look at their circumstances. The lunar module had been designed to
keep two men alive on the Moon for two days. Now it would have
to keep three men alive for the four-day return journey to Earth.
Lovell and the crew discussed each aspect of their supplies. The
situation looked like this:

Their power supplies (electricity and fuel) were looking bad. This
was where the explosion had done the most damage.
Their food supply was also looking grim. Most of their food was
freeze-dried and needed hot water to make it edible. With their
power supplies so low, hot water was no longer an option.
Their water supplies were also bad. All the craft’s electronic systems
generated heat, and without water to cool them they would
overhear and fail.

The only thing they had in good supply was air. There should be
enough of that at least, until Apollo 13 returned to Earth.

The simple truth was that the most durable items on board Apollo 13
were the crew. They would be able to keep going on little or no heat
or fuel for longer than any of the ship’s equipment. The next four
days were going to be very uncomfortable. Unfortunately, there was
barely enough power to supply their essential equipment, so heating
their spacecraft became an expendable and unaffordable luxury.
As the temperature dropped, the astronauts began to suffer. They
were ill-equipped for such chilly conditions. All their clothes and
sleeping bags were designed for the usually warm environment of
their spaceship, and were made of thin, light materials. (The two
spacesuits they carried for the Moon walk were too bulky to be worn
inside the craft.) The three men improvised as best they could,
wearing two sets of underwear under their jumpsuits, and Moon
boots on their freezing feet.
The gnawing cold chilled the moisture in their breath, and a clammy
dampness settled on the spacecraft’s interior. They began to feel,
said Lovell, “as cold as frogs in a frozen pool.” Balanced on a knife
edge between survival and death, they could not even sleep for
more than two or three hours at a time, as cold and anxiety kept
them awake.

Although they were constantly hungry, thirst was less of a problem.
This is because astronauts do not feel the need to drink when they
are in space. To conserve as much water as possible, the men drank
virtually no water at all for the rest of the flight, but as a result they
all became dangerously dehydrated.
On the night of April 14, Apollo 13 swung around the Moon. Inside,
the crew made preparations for a second course correction, which
would again involve firing the powerful lunar module engine. These

engines were designed to land the module on the Moon, not propel
the whole spacecraft, so once again very careful calculations had to
be made. As Lovell ran through the complex procedures needed to
ignite the engines, he noticed Swigert and Haise busy photographing
the Moon’s surface from an observation window. Suddenly, he felt
very angry. “If we don’t make this next move correctly,” he snapped,
“You won’t be getting your pictures developed.” Swigert and Haise
were unrepentant. “You’ve been here before,” they said. “We
haven’t.”

Despite Lovell’s concerns the engine ignited successfully, and Apollo
13 was placed on a trajectory that would take her right back to
Earth. But now there was more to do than just sit and wait for their
spacecraft to return. Although there was definitely enough air to get
them all home, another huge problem was brewing with their
breathing. Every time they breathed out, the astronauts exhaled
carbon dioxide. This is a poisonous gas and, in an enclosed area such
as a small spacecraft, it can soon build up to fatal levels.
All spacecraft are equipped with filters to remove this deadly carbon
dioxide, but those in the lunar module were only designed to cope
with the poisonous gases of two men. With all three astronauts
currently occupying the lunar module, the filters were failing, and
levels of the deadly gas were building up.
Back on Earth, NASA technicians had anticipated this problem, and
had come up with an ingenious solution. There were several carbon
dioxide filters in the now empty command module. These could be
removed, placed in an airtight box, and used to filter the air aboard
the lunar module.

There were no airtight boxes on board Apollo 13, so the crew would
have to improvise. They gathered together storage bags, adhesive

tape, air hoses and the covers of Apollo 13 flight manuals. As
instructions were radioed up, the three men managed to cobble
together a working filter, and the ganger of carbon dioxide poisoning
was averted.

Four days after the explosion, Apollo 13 was now well on the way
home. Looking at the Earth looming ever larger in the spacecraft
window, Swigert felt they were “whistling in like a high-speed train”.
But the closer they got to the end of their journey, the nearer they
got to its most dangerous and challenging moments. Floating in a
cold spaceship, on a free-fall flight between the Moon and the Earth,
was a walk in the park compared to the flight corrections they would
have to make in order to land safely back on Earth.

For any spaceship, crippled or not, re-entry into Earth’s atmosphere
is one of the most dangerous parts of any space mission. If Apollo 13
approached the atmosphere at too steep a flight path, then it would
burn up like a meteor. But if the flight path was too shallow, it
would bounce off into space, like a pebble skimming across the
surface of a lake.

Not only that, but Apollo13 was designed to land in the Pacific
Ocean. (Until the space shuttle’s first flight in 1981, all American
spacecraft landed at sea.) Rescue vessels had to be close at hand.
To land in the right place, Lovell and his crew would have to direct
their stricken craft to a minute area above the Earth’s atmosphere,
known as the “entry corridor”. At the end of this 800,000km
(500,000 mile) journey, they would have to hit a spot only 16km (10
miles) wide.
All these moves had to be made using the lunar module’s engine – a
task it was never designed to perform. Then the crew would have to

go back into the damaged command module for the final stage of re-
entry. This was the most worrying aspect of the whole procedure.

As they got closer to Earth, Lovell went back into the command
module. It had been unused for four days, and was now as cold as a
refrigerator. Water droplets had formed on every surface – from
seat harnesses to instrument panels. Lovell wondered if the
electronics behind the panels were just as waterlogged. The
command module was so low on power their equipment would have
to work the first time – assuming it worked at all.
As Earth loomed even larger, Swigert prepared for re-entry. As pilot
of the command module, it was his job to drop them into the
atmosphere at the correct angle. Because they were using the lunar
module engines rather than the command module to do most of the

flight changes here, a whole new set of re-entry calculations and
position shifts had to be prepared.
Mission Control technicians worked these out in teams and radioed
the instructions up to the spacecraft. Normally, NASA would take
three months to prepare such a schedule. This one they put
together in two days.

In 1970 fax machines were still too primitive to be worth installing in
spacecraft, and e-mails were unheard of. Swigert took two hours to
write down all the hundreds of operations in full. He was not
confident he would understand abbreviations in the tense moments
to come. But Swigert performed brilliantly. Running through the
life-or-death procedure for the first and only time, he place Apollo
13 exactly where it needed to be.

As re-entry drew closer, the damaged service module was finally
uncoupled from the rest of Apollo 13. The astronauts were able to
have a close look at it as it slowly drifted away from them. Here they
saw for the first time the damage the explosion had done. One
whole side of the module was missing, and the site of the explosion
was a tangle of wires dangling from a ruptured metal cavity.
Now only the lunar module remained to be cast away.
As they watched it drift off from Apollo 13, all three astronauts felt a
strong surge of affection for the craft which had returned them
safely form the Moon. Then they prepared for the most dangerous
20 minutes of their lives.

Aboard the command module, the astronauts were buffeted and
rocked in their cold, damp seats, as the tiny craft began to enter the
upper layers of the Earth’s atmosphere. Bizarrely, it seemed to start
raining inside the capsule, as the upheaval of re-entry loosened the
water droplets behind the instrument panels.
As they plummeted down, the heat shield behind their backs began
to glow red hot as it made contact with the gradually thickening air
of Earth’s atmosphere. Through small observation windows, the
crew saw their black, star-filled view of space change to a fiery
orange haze. The temperature surrounding their craft quickly
reached an extraordinary 2,750 C (5,000oF).
If all went well, they should survive this stage of the journey, which
would last around three minutes. But one final uncertainty lay
between survival and catastrophe. After re-entry, the command
module would drop through the atmosphere like a stone for a
further few mil3w. Then, when Apollo 13 reached 7,000m (23,000
feet), parachutes would slow their craft to a safe landing speed,
before they hit the sea. As they lay strapped to their seats, each

man worried whether there was enough power left to operate these
parachutes.
Re-entry is always a time when communications between ground
control and spacecraft are broken. The turbulence of the air around
a blazing hot spacecraft makes it impossible to transmit radio signals.
While Apollo 13 dropped to Earth, the technicians of Mission Control
waited anxiously by their consuls. Three minutes passed, then four.
Then Swigert’s voice crackled over the radio, muttering a terse ”OK”.
They had survived re-entry. Four minutes later, a rescue helicopter
in the landing zone relayed live TV picture to Houston, confirming
that the parachutes on board the command module had opened.
Apollo 13 astonished the world by landing only 5.5km (3.5 miles)
away from its rescue ship – the closest to date of any Apollo flight.
One American newspaper remarked to Apollo 13’s close escape,
“Never in recorded history has a journey of such peril been watched
and waited out by almost the entire human race.” The three
astronauts arrived back at their home town of Houston, Texas, to
find US president Richard Nixon waiting to greet them. None
returned to space again.
James Lovell retired from NASA in 1973 to work for the Centel
Corporation in Chicago. He is still regularly interviewed for TV
documentaries on space flight.
Fred Haise faced another disaster in 1973, when a plane crash left
him with burns over two-thirds of his body. He recovered and was at
the controls of the first space shuttle when it made its maiden Earth
flight in 1977, from the back of a specially modified Boeing 747
Jumbo jet. He has recently retired as President of Northrop
Grumman Technical Services.

Over the decades, the excitement and drama of the Apollo 13 space
mission was gradually forgotten, until a 1995 Hollywood firm,
starring Tom Hanks, brilliantly and faithfully told the story. The film
was a great success, and made the surviving astronauts famous all
over again.

Summary:
“A successful failure” is often used to describe the events of Apollo 13.
What more can be said.

Enrichment:

Let’s talk Information. How many lifetimes do you have? The only
thing you have to Google is:

NASA

Just follow the links & check out images as well. Just Wow!

As far as articles, of course there is no shortage on space and related
topics, trygoingto https://scienceworld.scholastic.com , and log in
as a student using the password hopwant6833. Under keyword
type:
“Back To The Moon”
Video: “The Race Into Space” (3:53)
Nice time line and many other links

“Lunar Lander”
“1959-1969 The Space Race”
“Secret Space Hero”

Video: “Breaking Barriers” (9:38)
Nice tie in with “Hidden Figures” at the end of the year
“Breaking Barriers”article on recent women in NASA
“Cassini Crashdown”
Video: “Cassini Crashes Down” (3:47)
“Portal to the Universe”
Video: “Reading The Webb Telescope For Launch” (3:38)
Article includes nice “Hubble” images and NASA links

“Name A Rover”
“New Moons”
“Planet Hunter”
“Liquid Water on Mars”
“Would You Spend Two Months in Bed for Science?”

Video: “Life At The Mars Desert Research Station” (5:51)

“Twin Study”

Of Course, you could:

WATCH APOLLO 13 AGAIN!

Finally, for something a little different... For a while now, NASA has
gotten out of the human space travel business. Private companies are
stepping in. You may want to do your own investigation of
companies like:
Space X
Blue Origin
Virgin Galactic
These are only 3 of the 375+ private space companies out there. Hey,
if this stuff interests you, that is a heck of a lot of job opportunities.
