Extremely well done. Brilliant to focus in on the Lovell's - Apollo13 is a human interest story rather than a disaster story, and you nailed it.
The only criticism I would have is that we don't feel the impact of the peril that they're in. i think another few minutes ratcheting up the tension would have helped, particularly when he's thinking of his wife (masterful editing by the way!).
Just watching this cut it seemed the big problem was that they "lost the moon" rather than were in mortal danger. I *felt* the impact because I know Apollo 13 - but if I was watching this without the benefit of that film a lot of the impact would have passed me by.
Be that as it may, this is a highly recommended edit, brilliantly condensed. Bravo.
