A YouTube for possible use
editI suggest "Apollo 13: What Went Wrong" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uCObwsXbSeU be included in "Popular culture..." or "External links". It has a lot of highly detailed and well-explained technical detail. FrankSier (talk) 16:53, 26 October 2025 (UTC)
- YouTube has much good material on Apollo 13. I've been impressed by the press conferences. Wehwalt (talk) 17:13, 26 October 2025 (UTC)

About the names of crew members in the infobox
editI edited the part of the page where the crew photi was and its caption in particular to link the names of the members, but only showing their surnames. I did this since this was also the precedent in previous Apollo pages by only having the surnames shown. Kpubkalanami (talk) 11:36, 17 April 2026 (UTC)
To add to article
editThe failure to mention Ed Smylie (1929-2025), an American engineer and NASA official who led the team of engineers that saved the crew of Apollo 13, in the current version of this article seems like a terrible oversight. Please fix this situation. ~2026-20625-89 (talk) 01:16, 7 June 2026 (UTC)
