Apollo 13 in real time April?
Discussion
Looks like the maker of 17 and 11 real time web sites is doing the same with 13.

The work required looks immense and detailed, 11 was and still is an absolute gem along with 17. Lots of mission control audio not heard before.

There already is quite a bit of Apollo 13 stuff in real time on You Tube.

Apologies. I miss read your post.
There is an article somewhere where a machine to re read all the mission control stuff that was not available due to the kit to play no longer available, was re built for the Apollo 11 live. Hopefully more stuff will become clear when it is launched. Personally I don't use youtube a great deal though he does link to youtube from the player.

You Tube has tons of good spaceflight related content. A chap called Lunar Module 5 has put a huge amount of effort into loading up coms and other recordings from the Apollo and Shuttle eras. He also ties it in with computer generated imagery and even instrumentation data.
Well worth a look.

Work on the last remaining audio tapes not heard since the 70's

From the tweet, a link to the effort to digitise the tapes, 30 track tapes.

Reading that transcript, I am now more annoyed that we had to chuck old equipment out in work (though in reality it was never going to be required this way). I should have had a few bits just in case. Though finding the space would have been problematic.
They estimated that 150 years give or take to archive the tracks individually. 10,000 hours or so. And one firm had a suitable head in stock to read the tapes but it was for support for their product (not NASA tape machine), have to think about it..... fortunately they sold it them.
Had that with our stores once, needed something simple.
Stores says yeah got three in stock.
OK, we need one.
Cant have it.
Why.
Need three minimum on the shelf, says in the rules. Just in case it is an emergency.
Yeah, we need one now, we think it is urgent.
Rules is rules.

Worth a follow if not already on your twitter list.
Clock is slow and needs to be adjusted before lift off. Drifting 0.00024 sec and hour. At least mine are mostly radio controlled nowadays.

I had listened to the Apollo 13 transmissions previously, but this way is somewhat better!
Interview with Jerry Woodfill, working on the Apollo alarm system. His commentary on working through the Apollo 13 accident.

Remember some interview with a reporter that got chatting to Lovell at some airport years ago. Rockets cropped up in the chat and reporter told Lovell what they did and how they worked or some such story. Thing is, he didn't know who he was talking to. But Lovell remained a gent throughout and didn't interrupt, say what he had done or correct him.
Wish I could remember who it was.
edit. They have lifted off now (50 years ago). Problem at 55 hours. Now 1:37
