1. Jim Lovell was in the movie, playing one of the crewmen on the recovery ship when the astronauts were brought aboard.

2. Makeshift construction (using the things that were with them) to use the CSM CO2 cartridges in the LEM.

3. I think it was 40 amps...

4. Ken Mattingly

NASA personnel are people too. They are not robots. In fact, if you read the book "Lost Moon", which was later renamed "Apollo 13", which is much more detailed than the movie, and much more accurate, you will find lots of humor. One of the funnier things that happened was that the Grumman Corporation, builder of the Lunar Module that the astronauts took shelter in on the way back from the moon, sent a bogus bill to the North American Aviation corporation for the cost of 250,000 miles of towing. The astronauts themselves were a bunch of nutballs who used practical jokes and other silliness to cope with the stresses of training. The book "The Right Stuff" chronicles a lot of this activity. And in reality, a two hour movie only highlights the major parts of a trip to the Moon and back that took almost a week. Much of the humor tossed between the ground and the astronauts was to keep up their spirits, break the tension, and pass the time. Imagine sitting in your car with two other people for a week, no showers, no private bathroom, no privacy at all. That's about all the room they had. You might get a little silly too, but in a highly professional way. Buzz Aldrin actually joked on the Moon as he was closing the door from outside the lunar lander that he better make sure not to lock the door on his way out.
