NASA Releases Historical Sounds as iPhone Ringtones

Good to see NASA put those lazy laid-off astronauts back to work to create iPhone ringtones.

In all seriousness - pretty cool. Downloaded all of them.

This is pretty nifty. I'm glad they're free, I don't know how into NASA sounds I could get on my iPhone.

The actual quote, according to official NASA mission radio transcriptions, was "Houson we've had a problem."
Swigert says it first, and Jim Lovell repeats it more clearly.

interesting, will definitely download the sounds later

NASA should sell them, a new way to fun the space program!

NASA does have the cool stuffs

It came from NASA

Five diamond cool @#$!.

I could easily end up playing with this stuff in an audio editor until dawn...

Gonna be honest, the "Houston we have a problem." is in... less than awesome taste. Not bad taste. But less than awesome.

This is Houston. Say again, please.

Jim Lovell (CDR)
Houston, we've had a problem. We've had a MAIN B BUS UNDERVOLT.

Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
Roger. MAIN B UNDERVOLT.

02 07 55 58
Jack Lousma (CAPCOM)
Okay, stand by, 13. We're looking at it.

Fred Haise (LMP)
Okay. Right now, Houston, the voltage is—is looking good. And we had a pretty large bang associated with the CAUTION AND WARNING there. And as I recall, MAIN B was the one that had had an amp spike on it once before.

Roger, Fred.
