Overview

Fifty years ago, in April 1970, the oxygen tank supporting the Apollo 13 mission to the moon exploded. The crew also lost vital power and water. Would they survive? Under extreme duress--with the world watching on live television--the Apollo 13 crew and flight controllers returned the astronauts safely back to Earth. This is a story of ingenuity and teamwork in a crisis situation. It's also the story of the larger Apollo space program and its legacy, from communication and weather satellites to the World Wide Web. A fantastic STEM story, this book also looks at the growth of diversity in the space program, engineering, and other fields related to space exploration.
