Pic of Apollo 13 crew, Deke Slayton & Von Braun

during the first day of Apollo 13 post-flight debriefing at the Manned Spacecraft Center (pic taken April 20, 1970, courtesy Apollo Project Archive).
Background from left to right are the legendary astronauts James A. Lovell, Jr., John L. Swigert, Jr., and Fred W. Haise.

Foreground is Donald 'Deke' Slayton (director of flight crew operations, who among other things was thought to have championed the need/ specification for a crew chronograph watch) with Von Braun on the right.
