1. They used the EVA cue card to form an arch over the canister, to prevent the bag they were going to put the canister into from sucking down on the screens and blocking the flow.

2. They used a piece of cut-up towel to plug the bypass hole in the canister so air would be forced to flow through the screens.

3. They placed the canister inside one of the LCG bags and taped everything securely in place.

4. They then cut a hole in the LCG bag and slipped a red EVA suit hose into the hole and underneath the arch they built with the EVA cue card, then taped everything in place.

5. They connected the suit hose to the SUIT LOOP in the LM and turned it on, sucking the air out LM, through the canister, and back out.

In the complete mission transcript (see link below WARNING: 21mb PDF file) the procedure is read up to the crew starting on page 418.

Did anyone die on Apollo 13?

Thankfully, the whole crew made it safely back to Earth


Was the Apollo moon missions fake?

No, they were not - the first moon landing left Cape Canaveral in Florida on 16th July, 1969 with the crew of Apollo 11 landing on the moon four days later. Between July 1969 and December 1972 there were (in total) six manned moon landings made by Apollo 11, Apollo 12, Apollo 14, Apollo 15, Apollo 16 and finally Apollo 17. Apollo 13 was forced to return to Earth when an explosion in the rocket occurred when the crew were halfway to the moon but fortunately the crew survived and returned to Earth safely. There is even a movie about the Apollo 13 moon mission so that's evidence the moon landings were not faked.


Who was on the crew of Apollo 2?

AS-203 (informally called Apollo 2) was an unmanned mission on July 21, 1966 to test aspects of the Saturn V rocket. Officially, there is no Apollo 2. NASA administrators were not sure they wanted to continue with the Apollo name after the Apollo 1 tragedy. Before they made a decision there were two unmanned test flights, officially named AS-203 and AS-202


Where was Apollo 1?

Apollo 1 never made if further than the launch pad at Cape Canaveral as a catastrophic error caused a fire that killed the crew. The command module was moved to the Kennedy Space Center and then later to Langley Research Center.


Was the moon walk real?

How many people have flown around the moon without landing?

It depends on the exact interpretation of the words in the question. 15 such flights have been made Three-man Apollo 8 crew Three-man Apollo 10 crew Three-man Apollo 13 crew Six individual flights by command module pilots on Apollos 11, 12, 14, 15, 16 and 17 However, Jim Lovell counts for two of those (Apollos 8 and 13), while John Young and Eugene Cernan of Apollo 10 both later landed on Apollos 16 and 17 respectively. Thus 15 such flights have been made by 14 astronauts, of whom two landed on the moon on later missions. Thus there are two possible answers: 14 people have made a trip to the moon which did not involve their landing on it. 12 people have made a trip to the moon without ever landing on it.


What happened to the Apollo 2?

The first three missions of the Apollo Program were unmanned test flights of Apollo hardware. These missions were officially named AS-201, AS-202, and AS-203. The first manned mission was named AS-204. However AS-204 met with disaster, when fire broke out during a routine ground test and all three crew members were killed. The widows of the three astronauts asked NASA to retire the mission naming convention in honor of their husbands. NASA agreed, and AS-204 was renamed Apollo 1. NASA then made the decision that further missions would begin with Apollo 4. It is my pure speculation that the names 2 and 3 were skipped in honor of the Apollo 1 crew. Since there were three astronauts killed, Apollos 1, 2, and 3 were retired in their memory. As such, the next flight was named Apollo 4, so there was no official Apollo 2.
