Apollo 13

Astory of courage--in space, at NASA, and at the homes of those
involved" (Houston Chronicle), Apollo 13 recounts America"s
fifth mission to the moon, a mission that nearly ended in catastrophe
in April 1970. Only fifty-five hours into the flight, disaster struck for
Jim Lovell and two other astronauts after an explosion left them with
a rapidly declining supply of oxygen and power. Lovell and Kluger
vividly chronicle how the men were forced to abandon the main ship
for the lunar module, a tiny craft designed to keep two men alive for
only two days. At home, a nation watched the desperate efforts of
Mission Control to bring the crew back in what many consider NASA"s
finest hour. Apollo 13 is a timeless tribute to the enduring American
spirit.
