Friday Night Lecture Series: “Apollo 13”

“Okay, Houston, we’ve had a problem here.” That chilling statement was transmitted through space from the brave crew to Mission Control. It soon became clear to Commander James Lovell, Command Module Pilot Jack Swigert and Lunar Module Pilot Fred Haise that they had not only lost the Moon but also were in a very precarious situation. It was the determination, creativity and ingenuity of the crew and NASA personnel that held sway, transforming a potential tragedy into a triumph of intelligence, engineering and quick thinking. James DeOliveira delivers the harrowing story! [For ages fourteen and older. No admission fee.]
