Wikipedia:Featured sound candidates/Apollo 13 message to Houston

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This message is possibly one of the most famous messages in the history of spaceflight with only Neil Armstrong being more well known. The full communication is available where they discuss the full details but i think that this succinct message encompasses all of it. Its a tribute to their struggle and to all those who face risk in spaceflight.

I do not believe the following is done.

(iii) the venue of the recording, where they are recoverable;

(iv) the name(s) of the recordist/producer, and a brief description of the recording equipment, where known;

(v) any editing that has been applied to the excerpt by the uploader, such as noise reduction by the uploader (aside from obvious fade ups and fade downs at the start and end), and by others, where that information is recoverable;

Just want to clarify some things, not sure what you mean by "where they are recoverable". When you say the location of the recording do you mean where the physical recorder was located or where the persons doing the recording are. The latter I have provided. The name of the recorder/producer would also be a little difficult to pin to one person due to the many people involved in the communication and is simply attributed to NASA. I have given the names of those involved in the recording. I will attempt to contact NASA to see if they are able to release the details regarding their recording equipment but that may be information they cannot release. I have listed what editing I have done to the sound. Seddσn talk Editor Review 17:17, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I would think that the method of recording would be known. Also the version that we use must be used in an article. Zginder 2008-07-08T20:41Z (UTC)
Following the result of the FSC, the best recording would replace the one currently in the Apollo 13 article. Seddσn talk Editor Review 21:54, 8 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
