13 Minutes to the Moon

CHAPTER

The End of Apollo 13

Apollo 13 was NASA's third bid to land people on the moon. It came just nine months after Apollo 11, which saw Neil Armstrong win the space race. An explosion triggered a catastrophic cascade of events that threatened the spacecraft and the lives of the crew over and over again throughout their mission. For this season, I've talked to the two astronauts of Apollo 13 who were alive today and a cast of characters who supported them from the ground.
