Why "Houston" we have a problem.

[abc]

was the control center actually physically in Houston Texas or something?

 

[ManSnake]

That's right!

 

[Pretender]

No, it was in Moscow, but they called it "houston" as a joke.

 

[chiwawa626]

Wow, ur pretty stupid unless ur russian or somthing i guess.

 

[IcemanJer]

well, that's a perfectly legitimate question to ask for someone who call him/her/itself "abc"..

 

[JohnnyKnoxville]

Actually it was located at a frat house in Houston,when they ran out of beer someone said "Houston we have a problem"

 

[Nevo]

Actually, Mission Control is located in Clear Lake. (The city, not the body of water.)

But that doesn't have the ring to it that nearby Houston has.

 

[Rage187]

Yeah what Johny said..

<< No, it was in Moscow, but they called it &quot;houston&quot; as a joke. >>



That's a dumb joke.

 

[abc]

no you dweebs, I was looking for something possibly as NEVO explained. Now as for you IcemanjerK, &quot;abc&quot; is obviously something you know of no significance or meaning to, but it's all good.

 

[stndn]

actually, it's &quot;houston, we've had a problem&quot;
-> from apollo 13

[Pretender]

Um, buddy? I'll let you in on a secret. It helps if you say that. You asked a stupid question, &quot;was control center in Houston.&quot; You didn't say &quot;was it in Houston or someplace near it?&quot; That's like if I went up to you and said &quot;Does target carry CD's?&quot; and you respond yes, then I say &quot;No, you dweeb, I meant does it carry Radiohead CD's. Dumbass.&quot; See what I'm getting at?



<< actually, it's &quot;houston, we've had a problem&quot; >>



Um....no it's not. I don't know where you got that, but...no. Not from the movie or the actual event. It is Houston we have a problem.

 

[stndn]

&quot;houston, we've had a problem&quot; was on one of the game shows i watched several months ago ... the host asked what tom hanks said in apollo 13 ... the contestant answered &quot;houston we have a problem&quot; and it was a wrong answer ....

but it's just a game show ... i don't remember what he actually said in the movie .... anyone wants to confirm?

[johnjohn320]

Look at the cover of the movie if you want confirmation on the movie part.

Um, Pal? I'll let you in on my FULL quote: &quot;was the control center actually physically in Houston Texas or something?

That IS like what you claim I did not phrase.
Secondly then your little analogy is out the window.

 

[johnjohn320]

Uhh....&quot;actually physically&quot; tells me nothing.

And frankly, &quot;or something&quot; means sh1t as well. Sorry.
