"Sgt Pepper taught the band to play"

I couldn't resist that Whiskey anyway regarding Apollo 13 after such a catastrophe it was almost unbelievable that the three astronauts managed to bring back the CM and escape with their lives.
Add to that they had about as much computing power on board as a modern calculator to achieve what they did, truly amazing.
They certainly were made of the "right stuff".
