How Apollo 13 returned home
NASA had to decide how to abandon the moon mission and improvise a survival plan in real time.
After an oxygen tank exploded in April 1970, Apollo 13 went from a lunar mission to a rescue mission. Mission Control and the astronauts had to choose a sequence of imperfect decisions that maximized survival under extreme uncertainty.
Why It Matters
Apollo 13 safely splashed down in the Pacific on April 17, 1970. The mission became one of the best-known examples of crisis judgment, disciplined improvisation, and technical teamwork under pressure.
