Houston, We Have a Slight Issue
Okay, so let's clear something up right away: nobody actually said "Houston, we have a problem." It was more like, "Houston, we've had a problem here." Subtle difference, huge impact on dramatic tension. But hey, who's counting, right?

The Infamous Line
This little phrase has become synonymous with disaster. Like, if you're watching a movie and someone says "Houston, we...", you immediately know they're about to have a really bad day. It's like the cinematic equivalent of a shark fin appearing in the water.
QuickTip: Reading twice makes retention stronger.
But let's be honest, it's a bit overused. I mean, have you tried telling your boss "Houston, we have a problem" when your computer crashes? Not as effective as you'd think. People just stare at you blankly, probably wondering if you've been watching too many old space movies.
QuickTip: Don’t rush through examples.

So, What Was the Actual Problem?
Just to give you a quick refresher, the Apollo 13 mission was cruising along, everything hunky-dory, and then boom. An oxygen tank explodes. Not ideal. So, the crew had to get creative. They used the lunar module as a lifeboat, and somehow managed to get everyone back home safe. It was basically the greatest space rescue ever.

Let's Not Panic
Now, I'm not suggesting we all start practicing how to build a spaceship out of spare parts. But the next time something goes wrong, maybe don't immediately resort to dramatic declarations. A simple "Uh-oh" or "This is not going as planned" might suffice. And if all else fails, there's always the classic, "Can we talk about this later?"
Tip: Read aloud to improve understanding.
