NASA Manned Spacecraft Center publication entitled "Apollo 13 Mission Commentary," 8 x 10.5, 635 pages, containing the official transcript of communications between Mission Control and the Apollo 13 astronauts throughout the duration of the near-catastrophic mission. These transcript packets were handed out to the press covering the historic event, and are now contained within two binders. The highlight of the transcript comes on page 169, in the crew's famous lines: "Okay, Houston. Hey, we've got a problem here…Houston, we've had a problem." The remainder chronicles their successful attempts to improvise a solution and use the LM as a 'lifeboat' to return home safely to Earth. A hand-annotated "Apollo 13 News Room" sheet is included. In very good to fine condition, with some scattered staining, toning, edge tears to one page, and heavy wear and edge splitting to the black binders.
