Speedmaster, Professionals, and the Story of Apollo 13

[Jones in LA]

Omega recently dropped a fun little video in which various Omega spokes-folk (referred to as Omega's "friends") are tasked with telling the Apollo 13/Speedmaster/Silver Snoopy story in fourteen seconds. It's an opportunity for the most professional of the Professionals to really shine:

Here's my summary of how they did, with their time to tell the story in (minutes and) seconds, measured by a Speedmaster, of course.


George Clooney: 0:14

Kaia Gerber: 0:12 (plus a six-second preamble)

Charlie Duke: 0:14+5/6

Cindy Crawford (Kaia's Mum): 0:14

Chase Stokes (actor from Netflix teen drama series Outer Banks): 0:50, includes use of the terms "weapon of choice" and "afterburners" to tell the story.

Naomie Harris (aka Moneypenny from James Bond films): 0:25 + a short preamble

Antoni Porowski (popular Canadian television personality): 0:14+5/6

Nicole Stott (engineer, retired NASA astronaut): 0:24

Glen Powell (aka Hangman from Top Gun Maverick): 0:12

So-Hee Han (popular Korean actress and model): 1:11 -- maybe the story doesn't translate well in the Korean language?

Nicole Kidman (the longest-standing among this list of spokes-folk): 1:00 -- I reckon she's earned the right to tell the story any way she wants.

interesting way to tell the story of those 14 seconds perhaps not clear when the true story is unknown
