Instructing the crew to build a makeshift rig they called the mailbox, to purge the deadly gas from the craft and keep oxygen levels safe. this bought some time for the crew, who were barely breathing and running low on water. you lost 14 pounds? >> i didn't realize i'd lost 14 pounds. and i guess, you know, i was all charged up. >> they were sick, freezing, and tired, but safe for now. mission control's next task was to get the broken-down craft out of a lunar landing course and back on a free return to an earth trajectory. engineers in houston figured the crew could do this by executing two ...

All right. hang on tight for this one. we're taking a wild ride. a wild ride, that is, on the full throttle roller coaster as six flags park north of los angeles. >> oh, my goodness. this one said to be the tallest, fastest looping roller coaster. riders upside down twice. the loop is 160 feet off the ground at its highest point in order to get up and around the coaster goes from 0 to 70 miles an hour three times during one ride. one of those accelerations, ha-ha, happens to be backwards. >> looks like a good roller coaster. >> you go through a tunnel. >> i love roller coasters. i would do it ...

I guess i was all charged up. >> they were sick, freezing and tired. but they were safe for now. mission control's next task was to get the broken down craft out of the lunar landing course and back on a free return to earth's trajectory. engineers in houston figured the crew could do this by executing two separate burns or accelerations made from the limping command module. towering that up after the long, cold fleet with one of mission's control's greatest achievements. w flat controllers generated the necessary procedure to do this in three days. something t like that would normally take th...

>> mission control next had to get the craft out of the landing course and back on a return to earth. engineers in houston figured the crew could do that by executing two separate "burns" or accelerations. powering that up after the long trip was one of their greatest procedures. something like that would normally take three months to do and they figured it out in three days. >> we got smarter and smarter and then, let's not make a mistake. >> people across the globe hoped for a miracle, the crew splashed down safely in the south pacific ocean on april 17. >> it was a failure in the initial mi...

There are accelerations in the use of capital. but in fact, we've had productivity growth over the long-term. what was particularly tough in the 2000s, and of course, worse now, was the absence of strong enough demand to absorb increasing efficiency in our economy, something that we've always done. and here i do have -- >> you mean, we're too good of workers right now? >> well, i think we've had productive workers, some of the most productive workers in the economy all throughout that graph. in a way, richard, you have to ask yourself, how come we had high productivity back in the '40s and '50...
