Bernard Etkin and Lunar Module

lunar module: The explosion had crippled the service module where water, food and oxygen were stored, but luckily some additional supplies were available in the lunar module, which became the crews life raft. The lunar module was needed as long as possible, but then had to be jettisoned. But how?, according to Globe and Mail. That a tragedy was averted was in large part due to a team of engineers at the university led by Bernard Etkin as the senior scientist who stepped in at the crucial moment with nothing more than their slide rules and powerful brains and It was not supposed to happen. When Apollo 13, the third manned mission intended to land on the moon, took off from the Kennedy Space Center on April 11, 1970, no one imagined that after minutely detailed planning, testing and preparation it would have to be aborted just two days later because of an exploding oxygen tank. The U.S. contractor Grumman Aerospace Corp., which had built the lunar module for put in a call for help to the University of Toronto, where they knew there was a wide range of engineering expertise.
