'Did I fear for the astronauts' lives? The honest answer is no.' A former Nasa engineer recalls his role in the rescue You know that famous distress call, ‘Houston, we’ve had a problem’?

Well, that was because of me. The Apollo 13 mission launched from Kennedy Space Center, Florida, on 11 April 1970, with astronauts Jim Lovell, Fred Haise and Jack Swigert on board – it was supposed to be the third mission to land on the moon.

But almost 56 hours in, I saw the monitor flicker from my desk in the Mission Evaluation Room (MER) in Houston, where I was a 27-year-old engineer.

At the same time, the astronauts saw a red light flashing and an alarm sounding – and it was Jim Lovell who said those words.

Gang Of Youths have shared a cover of Wilco’s 1999 track ‘A Shot In The Arm’, performing it live in a session for the SiriusXM station The Spectrum.They’ve kept much of the song’s airy, lightly melancholic energy intact, elevating it with layered synths – one bassy and woozy, the other glittery, akin to a synthesised xylophone – understated violins and Dave Le’aupepe’s commanding lead vocals.It’s a fitting cover, given the lyrical themes explored on Gang Of Youths’ recent third album, ‘Angel In Realtime’ – a concept album about the life of Le’aupepe’s late father.
