The Apollo 13 Mission
Surviving an Explosion in Space
Kids will thrill to the exciting rescue story that is the Apollo 13 mission. An explosion in the command module forced astronauts Jim Lovell, Fred Haise, and John Swigert Jr. to move to the cramped lunar module where they had barely enough food, water, and oxygen to survive. After nearly dying from carbon dioxide poisoning, the astronauts made it home thanks to quick thinking from the experts at Mission Control.
