Milt Windler, NASA flight director who helped save Apollo 13, dies at 94

Milt Windler, a NASA flight director who played a key role in the safe return of the Apollo 13 astronauts, has passed away at the age of 94. As a flight director, Windler worked on several NASA missions, including the Apollo 13 mission, which was aborted after an explosion occurred on board. Windler was part of the team that helped develop the plan to power up the lunar module as a lifeboat, using its limited power to sustain the astronauts until they could re-enter Earth's atmosphere. The successful recovery of the mission was hailed as one of the greatest feats in space exploration history.
