The Environment of Apollo 13
Since the oxygen tank blew off, that made the electronics power off. Since the electronics were powered off, the heating was too. The crew members had to go without sleep for over 80 hours. Jim played a very important part here because he kept the environment fun, and waked up anyone who was falling asleep. -
