On November 14, 1969, Apollo 12 lifted off aboard a Saturn V when lightning struck the rocket twice just 36 and 52 seconds after launch. Multiple systems failed, sensors went dark, and spacecraft telemetry was lost. A calm crew and a single call from Mission Control helped restore power and save the mission, turning a near disaster into a successful lunar flight.
