Apollo 13 - Flight Director Loop (T-03:30 - GET 00:18)

Part 1 of a series to cover the entire mission in real time. This part covers the countdown, launch and initial orbit activities.
Audio is sourced mainly from the Flight Directors communications loop in mission control (left channel) and the Capcom loop (right channel). Additional Mission Director Loop audio can also be heard on the countdown. There is no PAO loop on this audio.
