Necessity is often said to be the mother of invention, and the story of Apollo 13 in 1970 is a prime case in point. Watch Ron Howard's film of the accident, and you'll see. After lift-off, an oxygen tank explodes in the side of the spacecraft, depleting not just its oxygen supply, but its power. The ground crew issue guidelines to the astronauts, but those instructions prove to be irrelevant, because they bear no relation to the real-world circumstances. At the Mission Control Center in Houston, a fellow astronaut realizes the problem, and organizes a team to replicate as exactly as possible the conditions being experienced out in space.
