Apollo 13: Mission Details, Crisis, and Historic Recovery
In this intense and inspiring episode, we break down the Apollo 13 mission, NASA’s third crewed lunar mission that became an unexpected fight for survival in space. Launched in April 1970, Apollo 13 was intended to land on the Moon—but a catastrophic oxygen tank explosion changed everything.
Explore the gripping timeline of events, from the now-iconic phrase “Houston, we have a problem,” to the incredible teamwork between NASA engineers and astronauts Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert, and Fred Haise that brought the crippled spacecraft home. Learn how ingenuity, calm under pressure, and cutting-edge problem-solving saved the mission and redefined space exploration.
