[edit]

I don't have a reference here, but from memory the erroneous version was popular long before the Apollo 13 film. ae7flux (talk) 04:33, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There was a 1974 film called "Houston we've got a problem" 66.210.29.138 (talk) 16:31, 17 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This page obfuscates as well as clarifies, for the introductory summary quotes the astronauts' words somewhat differently from the transcription in the section following ("The Message"). Even be it granted both that (1) the page offers an audio recording of the event at issue and (2) human speech may be inaccurately transcribed, such a disparity is a bad showing for a page intended to reveal the actual words spoken in their original context, so correcting a popular misrepresentation. I believe we have a problem here.Mucketymuck (talk) 06:59, 19 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Mandela Effect Alert!

[edit]

The original line is back. "Houston, we have a problem!" Go on youtube and search the clip. This is a major flip flop! PaulG524 (talk) 04:59, 2 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Full story on the quote

[edit]

I found a Washington Post article that has the history of this phrase, if anyone has time to include the information in this article. Kees08 (Talk) 18:54, 25 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

The article should make plain whether the quote was popularised by either film about the event. If not, then how? I think the popularity of the quote is the essence of this article, so I am surprised this is not explained. 5thEarlofSalisbury (talk) 03:49, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Houston, we have a problemHouston, we've had a problem – This article is placed at the misquote, when it should be at the actual original quote, which is the source of all the fame of the phrase. Red Slash 18:44, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
