Original Title: TIL that NASA's Apollo 12 mission was struck by lightning twice during launch, 36.5 and 52 seconds after liftoff on Nov. 14, 1969. The mission continued successfully thanks to flight controller John Aaron's quick thinking—resetting a crucial system and allowing the crew to safely reach the moon.
