Download Thirteen: The Apollo Flight That Failed AudioBook Free
"Houston, we've possessed a problem here." In the evening of Apr 13, 1970, the three astronauts aboard Apollo 13 were just hours from the 3rd lunar landing in history. But as they soared through space, 2 hundred thousand kilometers from earth, an explosion badly damaged their spacecraft. With compromised machines and faltering life-support systems, the staff was at incomparably grave hazard. Confronted with below-freezing temps, a seriously ill staff member, and a dwindling water supply, a safe return seemed unlikely. Thirteen is the surprising, miraculous, and totally true story of how the astronauts and floor crew led Apollo 13 to a safe landing on earth. Broadening on dispatches written for the New Yorker, Henry S. F. Cooper Jr. brings listeners unmatched depth on the moment-by-moment improvements of 1 of NASA's most dramatic missions.
