On Nov 14, 1969, Apollo 12 was struck by lightning 36 seconds after launch—and still made it to the Moon. Thanks to fast thinking and a single switch, it became a masterclass in systems resilience and crew adaptability. #FlashbackFriday #Apollo12 #SpaceEngineering #HumanSpaceflight

37 sec into the launch the Saturn V was hit by lightning.
A single calm suggestion to try setting "SCE to AUX" from flight controller John Aaron will save the whole mission.
Greatest call in the history of flight control.
