By April 1970,man had alreay landed on the moon,and the public's interest in space program began to wane.The Apollo 13 mission was slated to be the third lunar landing,but many news organizations initially overlooked it.
When Jim Lovell took command of Apollo 13 with astronauts Fred Haise and Jack Swigert,he was about to realize his dream to land on the moon. But the dream faded two days into the mission.An explosion crippled the spacecraft soon after the crew wrapped up a lengthy live television broadcast. With the world watching,flight controllers in NASA and the astronauts frantically worked to find a way to get them safely back to earth.
For five days,through one crisis after another,the Apllo 13 crew and mission specialists on the ground worked through each difficulty.The astonauts survived by rationing water and food while using the lunar lander as a life boat before returning to the command module for reentry to earth.Their efforts ended with splash down in the Pacific Ocean.All three astronauts survived and Apllo 13 became known as a sucessful failure.
