You Were in Apollo 13 Mission Control

It's just after 9 PM on April 13th, 1970. You're 26, you work in Mission Control in Houston, and the numbers on your screen just went crazy. Three astronauts are 200,000 miles from home, their oxygen is leaking into space, and for the next 87 hours, everything you do decides whether they come back. This is Apollo 13, the "successful failure", as lived from the console.
