    Despite the hordes of mechanical problems faced in the aftermath of the disaster, both the astronauts and Mission Control were determined to overcome them all. With remarkable brilliance, the scientists at NASA came up with ingenious strategies that saved the lives of the Apollo 13 crew. This story inspires me because it is a tale of people who believed that even the most dire of situations can be conquered if you can work hard and find a creative solution. NASA saw it the same way. Although Apollo 13 never landed on the moon, NASA’s intelligence and nerve was tested by this trial--and they passed the test with flying colors.…

    It has been at least 46 years since mankind first stepped onto the moon. This event is considered one of the most important accomplishments that humanity has ever done. However, at this point some people still believe that such an event did not happen, and it was all just massive propaganda used by the United States in order to bankrupt the Soviet Union at the time. This idea about the Apollo mission being fake seems illogical. My perspective about this is that the U.S actually did land on the moon.…

    I chose this source because this website talked all about what he did as an astronaut in Apollo 11 and it speaks about his life before and after his time as an astronaut. This page even has things that Collins himself had said or thought during this event. The bias of this source was very easily noticeable. It's obvious that the author, Robin Mckie, was on Michael Collins' side because he said things like, "He would not suffer a fate of global notoriety. In fact, the opposite happened.…

    The topic that I chose to research about was the Apollo 11 mission. It was fascinating to know that something like landing on the moon could actually happen. In my research I learned that this mission all came about because President John. F. Kennedy had set a goal to send men to the moon and then to return to Earth. Along with that, they also had several duties that they were to perform while in space, including: taking pictures of the surface of the moon, collecting moon deposits and videoing themselves on the moon.…

    Apollo 13 was a space mission that some may have viewed as a failure; it was, in fact, the complete opposite. Space entry has improved immensely, with the efforts and struggles gained from previous missions. In addition, one of the astronauts of this mission, Jim Lovell, “believed it was a success. The astronauts and the Space Control Center were tested on their ability to work together and that is how Apollo 13 succeeded” (Anastasio 90). Apollo 13 has bettered the space program by allowing future space entry missions to be more successful.…

    Apollo 13 was the seventh manned mission in the American Apollo space program and the third intended to land on the Moon. The craft was launched on April 11, 1970, at 13:13 CST from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, but the lunar landing was aborted after an oxygen tank exploded two days later, crippling the Service Module(SM) upon which the Command Module (CM) depended. Despite great hardship caused by limited power, loss of cabin heat, shortage of potable water, and the critical need to jury-rig the carbon dioxide removal system, the crew returned safely to Earth on April 17. The flight passed over the far side of the Moon at an altitude of 254 kilometers (137 nautical miles) from the lunar surface, 400,171 km (248,655 mi) from Earth, a…
