Apollo 13 Book vs Movie

Add/Edit a Difference

In the Book	In the Movie
Mattingly is shown working on the power problem for CM startup.	This was actually done by Charlie Duke, the astronaut who was sick with German measles and possibly infected Mattingly.
James Lovell's mother knows who Armstrong was.	Mrs. Lovell (James' mother) is depicted as not recognizing Neal Armstrong.
He does not.	Fred Haise vomits shortly after Translunar injection.
This was not a tradition until the Shuttle missions.	A scene shows the astronauts greeting their families from across a road prior to the mission. This was done to prevent contact and infection.
Lovell's remark to his wife about an alternate destination for Christmas (the moon instead of travel abroad) was in reference to Apollo 8's change in mission from an Earth orbit mission to a Lunar orbit mission. Apollo 8 was in lunar orbit during Christmas 1968.	Lovell implies he will be going to the moon for Christmas instead of on vacation. Apollo 13 took place April 1970
