Description
Jim Lovell eats a snack from a packet whilst floating close to one of the Lunar Module's windows. He takes a knife or a small pair of folding scissors from his tunic pocket and cuts the packaging to get out more of the food, which he pops into his mouth.

Historic Context of Clip
Background to Apollo 13:
Apollo 13 was the third manned lunar-landing mission, part of Project Apollo under NASA in the United States. The crew members were Commander James A. Lovell, Command Module pilot John L. "Jack" Swigert, and Lunar Module pilot Fred W. Haise. Two days after the launch, the Apollo spacecraft was crippled by an explosion, caused by a fault in the oxygen tank. The explosion damaged the Service Module, resulting in a loss of oxygen and electrical power. The crew used the Lunar Module as a "lifeboat" in space. The Command Module systems remained functional, but were deactivated to preserve the vehicle's capability to re-enter Earth's atmosphere. Despite severe constraints on power, cabin heat, and potable water, the crew endured great hardship and successfully returned to Earth.
