Bonus! Moonshot Songs o' the Day: Apollo 14

Michael Giacchino, "New and Improved" from The Incredibles: Music from the Motion Picture (Space Cadet Mike Papa DSKY)

Commentary: Extensive modifications were made to the Apollo Command & Service Module to fortify it against a repetition of the explosion that nearly cost the lives of the Apollo 13 crew. The review of the accident & those improvements accounted for much of the long delay between Apollo 13 (April 1970) & Apollo 14 (January-February 1971), the longest break since the return to flight after the Apollo 1 disaster with Apollo 7 (October 1968).
