Okay, so the summary points to the root of the web site. If you'd rather not navigate through the different missions and multimedia items to find it, here's a direct link to the "Houston, we've had a problem" quote:

02 07 55 19 Fred Haise (LMP) Okay, Houston -- 02 07 55 20 Jack Swigert (CMP) I believe we've had a problem here. 02 07 55 28 Jack Lousma (CAPCOM) This is Houston. Say again, please. 02 07 55 35 Jim Lovell (CDR) Houston, we've had a problem. We've had a MAIN B BUS UNDERVOLT.

Yep. We built Spacelog to make the transcripts in NASA PDFs more accessible and searchable. For some reason everyone thinks we're NASA and this content is new. (We're not related to NASA.)
What is news is that NASA has recently started to release the full mission audio for Apollo/Gemini/Mercury missions on archive.org. Hopefully we'll be able to do something fun with that.
