About this product

Product Information

In April 1970, during the glory days of the Apollo space program, NASA sent Navy Captain Jim Lovell and two other astronauts on America's fifth mission to the moon. Only fifty-five hours into the flight of Apollo 13, disaster struck: a mysterious explosion rocked the ship, and soon its oxygen and power began draining away. Written with all the color and drama of the best fiction, APOLLO 13 (previously published as Lost Moon) tells the full story of the moon shot that almost ended in catastrophe. Minutes after the explosion, the three astronauts are forced to abandon the main ship for the lunar module, a tiny craft designed to keep two men alive for just two days. As the hours tick away, the narrative shifts from the crippled spacecraft to Mission Control, from engineers searching desperately for a way to fix the ship to Lovell's wife and children praying for his safe return. The entire nation watches as one crisis after another is met and overcome. By the time the ship splashes down in the Pacific, we understand why the heroic effort to rescue Lovell and his crew is considered by many to be NASA's finest hour. Now, thirty years after the launch of the mission, Jim Lovell and coauthor Jeffrey Kluger add a new preface and never-before-seen photographs to Apollo 13. In their preface, they offer an incisive look at America's waxing and waning love affair with space exploration during the past three decades, culminating only recently when the Apollo 13 spacecraft itself, long consigned to an aviation museum outside Paris, was at last returned to its rightful home in the United States. As inspiring today as it was thirty years ago, the story of Apollo 13 is a timeless tribute to the enduring American spirit and sparkling individual heroism.

    "Apollo 13", as a title, is self-explanatory and perfectly adequate to indicate what it's about.

    An epic piece of timeless world history, amazingly low in price and in perfect condition, with an authentically handsigned inscription by the author, Apollo 13 commander Jim Lovell, that to me is priceless ("To Reed/Make things happen/James Lovell"). Try beating that! 👍👨‍🚀

    Gripping story

    Even though I lived through this event as a teenager it was a great read to get the details of the event and learn more about all aspects of this epic voyage to the moon and back!

    A blow-by-blow account of survival & heroism

    The blow-by-blow account of mankind's third attempt to land a man on the moon, as told by the mission commander himself. The real-life witnesses of this event leap from the page in a nonstop page-turner that became a Hollywood blockbuster, and popularized the term, "Failure is Not an Option". An easy read, and should be required reading for every middle school student.
