| ManiaPlus - 4/5/2026 22:17 I looked for years to find information on why Apollo 13 blacked out for so long. Here is AI response that seems reasonable: Apollo 13 took longer to emerge from radio blackout (roughly 6 minutes, over a minute longer than predicted) primarily due to a shallower-than-intended reentry angle. This shallower path caused the spacecraft to remain in the upper atmosphere longer, extending the period where ionized plasma blocked communications. You are confusing two different blackout times on the 13 mission. The OP is referring to the blackout time as the spaceship goes behind the moon and the re emerges. You are referring to the blackout when 13 re entered the earth's atmosphere as they prepared to land back on earth. Two different things. |
I just dont understand
