Houston, We Had a Problem

Featured

The famous distress call from the Apollo 13 mission, immortalized in the film, is often misremembered with a slight grammatical difference.

What People Remember

Most people recall Jim Lovell (played by Tom Hanks) calmly stating, 'Houston, we have a problem' to mission control.

What's Actually True

The actual line spoken by Jack Swigert (and echoed by Lovell) was 'Houston, we *have had* a problem' or 'Houston, we *had* a problem,' indicating an event that just occurred, not an ongoing one.
