Narrowly averting a catastrophe by coming up with an ingenious plan.
From
the Apollo 12
moon mission. The ship was struck by lighting on liftoff and its electronic systems went
out of whack. A Flight controller named John Aaron told the flight director to have them switch "SCE to aux". This fixed the problem and saved Apollo 12 from being aborted.
"I thought you were going
to fail that test"
"I stole the test and got an A"
"Way to
switch the SCE to aux"
"So I hear your girlfriend caught you cheating"
"Yeah but she didn't break up with me"
"How did you manage that"
"I
switched the SCE to aux"
