PART 1

Apollo 13, launched from Florida on 11 April 1970, was the third Apollo mission to land on the moon. The three astronauts chosen for the mission were James Lovell, Fred Haise and John Swigert. The launch, watched by millions on TV, went smoothly and for the first two days in

space, everything went well. The crew gave a 49-minute TV interview explaining how they lived and worked in zero gravity. However, nine minutes after the interview finished, a tank containing oxygen exploded and John Swigert, noticing a red warning light, said the famous words:

'Houston, we've had a problem here. They checked all their equipment and realised that they were running out of water, power and oxygen-hard and fast. They were in a damaged spaceship floating 320,000 kilometres from Earth.

The Apollo 13 spaceship experienced an oxygen tank explosion nine minutes after the crew gave a 49-minute TV interview explaining how they lived and worked in zero gravity. This caused the spacecraft to lose water, power, and oxygen rapidly. The crew was

forced to abandon their mission to land on the moon and instead focus on returning to Earth safely. They did this by using the lunar module as a lifeboat and by rationing their resources carefully.
