“休斯顿，我们遇到问题了。”

"Houston, we've had a problem" was the mother of all understatements. An explosion on board the spacecraft two days into Nasa's third mission to the Moon left the three astronauts in grave danger. Commander Jim Lovell had just 15 minutes to make a series of critical mathematical calculations before a loss of power threatened to strand them in space. It is Commander Lovell's checklist that's being auctioned in Dallas next week.

“休斯顿，我们遇到问题了”这句不过是轻描淡写。美国国家航空航天局第三次登月计划开始的第二天，舱内发生爆炸，三名宇航员处于危急关头。在失重威胁到他们在舱内安全之前，指令长吉姆·洛韦尔只有15分钟时间进行系列数学计算。下周将被拍卖的就是指令长洛韦尔的那张清单。
