What you're looking at above is a scan of the physical NASA transcript
of a famous moment of the Apollo 13 space mission. These transcripts
make extremely fascinating reading, especially if (like us) you're
really into minutiae. Now, for the first time ever, these transcripts
are being... transcribed again, on the internet. Yes, if you wander
over to Spacelog, you can now view full transcripts of the Apollo 13
and Mercury 6 space missions in searchable text which also links back
to source images like the one pictured above. This is the kind of
historical documentation and access that reminds us of why the
internet is so, insanely awesome. Spacelog's site also says they're
going to provide other mission transcripts in the future, including
Gemini 7, Apollo 8 and Apollo 11.
