Should this include Maundy Thursday for 2006? Warofdreams talk 09:53, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

Oh, yes, I wanted to add this. Too bad it carries a {{cleanup}} tag. So I left it out. -- PFHLai 10:09, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Where's Apollo 13?

I'm surprised that Apollo 13's Service Module explosion isn't posted. — Deckiller 23:42, 13 April 2007 (UTC)

The explosion took place shortly after 10pm EST that evening, but already past midnight by UTC and therefore April 14. Pls see http://www.hq.nasa.gov/office/pao/History/Timeline/apollo13chron.html. --PFHLai 11:48, 14 April 2007 (UTC)

Recent discussions have pointed out that the oxygen explosion occurred on April 13 relative to the parties involved. NASA sources cite April 13, and American sources cite April 13. Since local time is used whenever possible (even though there is no local time in space) it seems reasonable that the event should be listed on April 13. Placing it on April 14 contradicts with NASA sources which I would call the authority on the subject. -- Mufka ^{(u) (t) (c)} 15:25, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
