You think the cabin was fully heated at all times?
I doubt that when they were in their suits they wasted energy on heating the cabin..
Gets very COLD out in space, and just a small point.
The LOX tanks were NOT carried inside the nicely heated cabin anyway.

You might also want to elaborate how the 100% oxygen atmosphere in the Apollo 13 rescue ship creates water condensation on solid surfaces.
Both Apollo 11 and Apollo 16 were "colder" than Apollo 13.

Apollo 11 and 16 are both colder than 13.
If you disagree with this chart then you shall post a more accurate chart.
What could be more accurate than this????
Day 11 and EVA
The main task on the eleventh day in space was an EVA by Worden. This was the first EVA by a Command Module Pilot since Scott performed one on Apollo 9.
As the crew began their preparations, they left the Lunar Sphere of Influence at 238 hours, 14 minutes, 51 seconds GET, at which point the gravitational pull of the Earth was stronger than that of the Moon. From now on they would start to accelerate towards the Earth. After retracting and turning off the equipment in the SIM bay, the crew donned their space suits. They disabled the RCS thrusters that were near the SIM and if accidentally fired would have been dangerous to Worden. Guards were also placed over the control panel to ensure that switches were not flicked by an errant foot.
After suit checks and depressurizing the spacecraft, the hatch was opened. After mounting a TV and film camera on the hatch, Worden jettisoned two bags of rubbish that did not need to be returned to Earth. Then using handholds built into the craft he moved along to the SIM bay. Along with retrieval he was tasked with inspecting the instruments to find the cause for the various problems experienced with them.
First he retrieved the film cassette from the Panoramic Camera and returned that to the cabin. After inspecting the "V-over-H" sensor on the Mapping Camera he retrieved its film cassette. He found that there was nothing obscuring the sensor as had been postulated by Mission Control as a cause for its problems. Later analysis would find that the problem was related to the optical signal-to-noise ratio.

You have not yet even bothered to show your source for this chart!!?? "Why", I am forced to wonder.....
on Apollo 13 the POWER WAS SHUT DOWN for many hours, during the emergency! When the power was off, there were NO temperature readings recorded.....so the average of the temperature that is listed in the chart reflects this, and gives a SKEWED IMPRESSION to those such as yourself who do not understand the engineering, and the reality of how complicated machines like a spacecraft actually work.
If you just rent the movie "Apollo 13", many aspects of the reality of the Apollo living conditions are answered....especially since they had to de-power the CM to conserve its batteries, and take refuge in the LM for the return coast home. The CM got very cold inside, when power was shut down.
The un-powered CM got so cold that water began to condense on solid surfaces, causing concern that this might damage electrical systems when it was reactivated. This turned out not to be a problem, partly because of the extensive electrical insulation improvements instituted after the Apollo 1 fire.
The crew was in good condition except for Haise, who was suffering from a serious urinary tract infection because of insufficient water intake. To avoid altering the trajectory of the spacecraft, the crew had been instructed to temporarily stop urine dumps. A misunderstanding prompted the crew to store all urine for the rest of the flight.

This is what the Apollo 13 showed:

Here's the real reason that Houston had a problem.

To use an expression, "NASA is taking the piss." Do you know what that expression means?

I don't find the "L shaped" flag to be credible. The black pixels are larger than the surrounding gray area and were obviously dropped in.
As Aloysius the Gaul asks before me........what was the point you were making Sayonara?

Both of the things you quoted happened in the movie. What's your point?
The skeptics will immediately query "Who enhanced these images?". Well, that will take a lot of digging. We know that Arizona State University is involved with LRO images. But the main question is this,
Who controls the release of LRO pictures? Does NASA receive the pictures from ASU and release them to the public or does ASU release pictures without NASA oversight?
Now we can also examine these 2 pictures from a technical level and the photo experts in this thread may be able to give us good insights into what is happening here with the flag and the black shadow around the Challenger descent stage.
An honest examination of these 2 pictures could be helpful to the thread.
Resolution comparison between nominal orbit images of the Apollo 17 landing site (a, b) and the new low orbit image (c; 27 cm x 56 cm pixel size). What is visible in an image is not simply a matter of the size of a pixel projected onto the surface. Sun angle and direction are also important factors, as is the exposure level. When the Sun is high above the horizon differences in surface brightness are enhanced, and when the Sun is low surface roughness is more obvious. Linear features are enhanced when they lie perpendicular to the direction to the Sun, and tend to disappear when parallel. When an image is underexposed or overexposed contrast and detail suffer. The top two images (a,b) have larger pixel scales (49 cm, 54 cm) and incidence angles (55° and 21° from vertical) that bracket the new higher resolution image (c; 45°).

1. You aknowledge that the shadows look like they are going different directions. Thanks. Thats what I was pointing out.
1. Your grammar, your intellectual ineptitude, and your childish remarks/conclusions is making it seem like I'm talking to a 3rd grader.
2. I'm acknowledging the fact that YOU think they look like they're going in different directions, and I'm pointing out that they DO NOT.
The topography of the moon makes the shadows LOOK like they're going in different directions,
...Let me ask you guys a question,
1. Asking a question is not proving anything one way or the other. Its just asking a question. As in, you dont know.
I DO know the answer, I'm simply insinuating that YOU do not, and that if you thought about the question you would come to the conclusion you were wrong. Which you are.
if there are so many different lights that are making all these different shadows, then why are all the shadows lines so crisp and defined?
1. Now here is the answer to your question: Compositing, touch ups. Already stated numerous times without dispute.
Impossible, especially with the technology in 1969. I am well versed in editing images in photoshop (which they didn't have in 1969 btw), and even with today's technology it would be extremely time consuming to even come up with a single photo that looked anything close to as good as what they have,
That table happens to be part of the official Sacred Apollo Scriptures.
It clearly shows that Apollo 11 and Apollo 16 were *colder* than Apollo 13.

Of course it does. Just watch any of the ascent videos, be it from the on board DAC footage or video from the rovers on Apollo's 15 - 17. You can see dust and debris get blown all over the place.
flame temperatures generally range from about 2,500 to 3,600 C (4,500-6,500 F).
Well, thats the whole point, I do see the small glowing dot, but I expect to see a brightly hot glowing dot.
