Description
The Apollo 13 Flight That Failed On April 13, 1970, the Apollo 13 mission was on course for history's third lunar landing. However, an explosion severely damaged their spacecraft, leaving the crew with compromised engines and failing life-support systems. With temperatures plummeting and a seriously ill crewmember, the situation seemed dire. Yet, through meticulous planning and quick thinking, the astronauts and ground control managed to guide Apollo 13 back to Earth. This gripping true story recounts the harrowing moment-by-moment developments of one of NASA's most dramatic missions.
