		Since Jack Swigert replaced Ken Mattingly, without whose "ground" work Apollo 13 would have not made it home, the fourth horse on the print is particularly appropriate, although the painting was done several months prior to the mission.

	What watches were worn on or near the moon?
		Jack Swigert later had this same watch mounted with a photograph of the splashdown, a mission patch and the note "To my long-time friend René Jeanneret who enabled me to always be on time.
		However, Swigert's GMT would not have made it to the moon because Swigert was Apollo 13's Command Module Pilot and would have remained in Lunar orbit had the mission not been aborted.
		Sadly, we can not ask Jack Swigert himself about which watch(es) he wore because he passed away from complications related to cancer in Washington DC on December 27, 1982, a week before he would have taken the congressional seat he won in the Sixth Congressional District of Colorado in the November 2 election of 1982.

		Jack Swigert (flew on Apollo 13), command module pilot

		However, because the lunar landing was never made, Lovell kept the plaque, which is one of the few mementos from the mission that he has on display at his home.

		As Swigert worked in the ship that Lovell now judged to be "forlorn and pitiful," Lovell and Haise took apart Haise's moon-walk pressure suit to rig up a ten-foot hose from the LM oxygen system.
		CapCom led Swigert through a step-by-step assembly of the improvised which sucked carbon dioxide from the cabin, ran it through the makeshift scrubber, and returned fresh oxygen from the waste gases back to the cabin for the astronauts to breathe.

		Jack Swigert saw a warning light that accompanied the bang, and said, "Houston, we've had a problem here." I came on and told the ground that it was a main B bus undervolt.

	Apollo 13 Flight Summary
		In August 1969 crew assignments for Apollo 13 were announced: James A. Lovell commanded the prime crew, which included Thomas K. Mattingly II as command module pilot and Fred W. Haise as lunar module pilot.
		Jack Lousma, the CapCom replied, "Roger, we copy you venting." Lovell said, "It's a gas of some sort." It was oxygen gas escaping at a high rate from the second, and last, oxygen tank.
		Because of the interruption of telemetry that had just occurred, flight controllers in the MCC had difficultly for the next few minutes determining whether they were getting true readings from the spacecraft sensors or whether the sensors had somehow lost power.
