This is a great article.

Apollo 13, We Have a Solution
By: Stephen Cass
Rather than hurried improvisation, saving the crew of Apollo 13 took years of preparation
13 April 2005—"Houston, we've had a problem."

Thirty-five years ago today, these words marked the start of a crisis that nearly killed three astronauts in outer space. In the four days that followed, the world was transfixed as the crew of Apollo 13—Jim Lovell, Fred Haise, and Jack Swigert—fought cold, fatigue, and uncertainty to bring their crippled spacecraft home.

I remember when John Glenn was arrested shortly after a show he did during the anniversary of Apollo 13.

Some dumbass was in the crowd waving a sign saying that the whole thing was faked. The guy was yelling Glenn, telling him that those astronauts weren't in any real danger because it was all staged.

So John clocked the guy in the head, then was arrested. for John Glenn.

You're probably thinking about Buzz Aldrin, who clocked the guy from moonmovie.com. Don't think JG hit anyone.
He can be fixed -- you can't.
