Gene Kranz Let's look at this thing from a... um, from a standpoint of status. What do we got on the spacecraft that's good? Sy Liebergot (EECOM) I'll get back to you, Gene. Jim Lovell Houston, we are venting something out into space. I can see it outside window one right now. It's definitely a... a gas of some sort. Jim Lovell It's got to be the oxygen. Gene Kranz EECOM, is this an instrumentation problem, or are we looking at real power loss here? Sy Liebergot It's, it's reading a quadruple failure - that can't happen! It's, it's got to be instrumentation.
