Forget "Houston, we have a problem"

My favourite lines from Apollo 13 all come from James Lovell's mother:

"Blanch, this is Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin."
"Are you boys in the space program, too?"

Later, she tells her granddaughter not to worry:

"If they could make a washing machine fly, my Jimmy could land it."
