Summary

Description
English: This is a recording of the air-to-ground communication from Apollo 13 following the rupture of the number 2 oxygen tank on April 13, 1970. The communication occurs between the Mission control center in building 30 at the Manned Spacecraft Center in Houston, Texas (later renamed the Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center) and Apollo 13 approximately 321,860 km from Earth. These words "...Houston we've had a problem..." are often misquoted as "Houston we have a problem". Even the filename used for this audio clip carries the misquote. (Duration: 17 seconds)
Français : Enregistrement de la communication entre Apollo 13, situé à environ 321 860 km de la Terre, et le centre ce contrôle à Houston, Texas. L'expression « ...Houston we've had a problem... » (« ...Houston, nous avons eu un problème... ») a été popularisée sous la forme incorrecte « Houston we have a problem » (« Houston, nous avons un problème »). Même ce passage audio est ainsi incorrectement nommé. (Durée : 17 secondes)
Nederlands: Dit is een opname van de communicatie tussen de Apollo 13 en de aarde, volgend op de ontploffing (letterlijk: scheuring) van zuurstoftank nummer 2 op 13 april 1970. De communicatie vindt plaats tussen het Missiecontrolecentrum in gebouw 30 op het Manned Spacecraft Center (NL: Bemande Ruimtevaartcentrum) in Houston, Texas (later hernoemd tot Lyndon B. Johnson Space Center) en Apollo 13, op ongeveer 321,860 km van de aarde. De woorden "...Houston, we hebben een probleem gehad..." worden vaak verkeerd geciteerd als "Houston, we hebben een probleem" Zelfs de bestandsnaam voor deze geluidsuitsnede draagt het verkeerde citaat. (Duur: 17 seconden)
