Various scenes of Mission Control and audio between Mission Control and astronauts on April 13, 1970. Mission Control asked astronaut Jack Swigert to stir the 02 tanks in order to get an accurate reading on the gauging systems, as the cryogenic oxygen tends to solidify in the tanks, and stirring allows for a more accurate reading on the quantity of O2 remaining in the tank. When the switch was flipped Jack Swigert reported we have a problem here.
