It is 50 years since the Apollo 13 mission failed to reach the surface of the moon. In this article we examine the audio recording of the post-mission press conference from the Apollo 13 spaceflight. We will focus on the "problem" (an explosion on-board the spacecraft) that prevented the astronauts (Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert and Fred Haise) from reaching the moon and we will analyse how their retrospective talk organises "what happened" and "what we did" in their recollections of the events surrounding the explosion. In the analysis we identify how these accounts are discursively organised in such a way that the explosion is positioned as an external event that was unavoidable and unexpected. Furthermore, the astronaut's responses to witnessing this unexpected event and their subsequent actions on realising the severity of the event are constructed as being measured, rational and logical.... view less

Es ist 50 Jahre her, seit die Apollo 13-Mission, die Mondoberfläche zu erreichen, fehlgeschlagen ist. In diesem Beitrag beschäftigen wir uns mit den Audioaufzeichnungen der danach veranstalteten Pressekonferenz und im Besonderen mit dem "Problem" (einer Explosion im Raumschiff), das es den Astronauten (Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert und Fred Haise) unmöglich machte, den Mond zu erreichen. Wir analysieren, in welcher Weise sie in ihren retrospektiven Erzählungen organisieren, "was geschehen ist" und "was wir getan haben" im Zusammenhang mit den Ereignissen rund um die Explosion. Dabei zeigen wir, wie sie ihre Gesprächsbeiträge in einer Weise diskursivieren, dass die Explosion als externales, unvermeidbares und unerwartbares Ereignis erscheint. Weiter konstruieren sie sich als Zeugen dieses schwerwiegenden Ereignisses und die eigenen folgenden Handlungen als messbar, rational und logisch.... view less
