« Previous Ep. Next Ep. » Nine months after Neil Armstrong makes "one giant leap for mankind," Apollo 13 launches from Cape Kennedy, Florida for NASA's third moon landing mission in April 1970. But 55 hours after takeoff on April 14, a catastrophic in-flight explosion of an oxygen tank causes serious damage to the spacecraft and puts the crew in mortal danger. In a frantic attempt to get the astronauts safely home, mission control must use every resource at their disposal. What follows is a tense and chaotic three days for the Apollo crew members, Mission Control, and the American people. Witness the events as they unfolded, told through rare news reports, mission control audio, and original NASA newsreels.
