Apollo 13

achieving goals but what is your own reason to take in a mission. The crew of Apollo 13 and Ernesto Galarza both had a drive and a mission. They all wanted to accomplish something and survive the hardships. The crew of Apollo 13 had a strive to survive and make it back to Earth safely. Ernesto had to learn to be an American while not leaving his mexican roots behind. Courage, trust and determination made Ernesto and the Apollo 13 crew survive seemingly impossible task. In Barrio Boy Ernesto Galarza had

these problems yet. As we all know, Apollo 13 which was designed by NASA, was the seventh manned mission to go on the moon in 1970. The trip took 5 days, 22 hours, 54 minutes, and 41 seconds. The trip encountered the biggest problem when one of the oxygen tanks exploded; air was being circulated at a very specific rate, and the tank explosion led to an increase in the amount of Carbon dioxide and a reduction in circulating the air. Despite the explosion, Apollo 13 made it back on our planet after scientists

The Apollo missions were some of the most important ones of their kind. They were the missions that got America to the moon, but, Apollo 13 is a tad different from the rest. Being the second return mission to the moon, NASA believed it would be simple, but, with a stir of the tanks. Chaos erupted. The return was harrowing but, luckily, they came back safely to Earth. The Apollo 13 mission is well known as a successful failure, for retrieving the crew safely but never actually doing what they were

third mission was Apollo 8, and the last mission he took was Apollo 13. Jim lovell was in command of his third mission which was Apollo 8, one of the first to enter the lunar orbit. He was selected as an astronaut by NASA in September 1962 in the mission of Apollo 13 he became the first man to journey twice to the moon. Jim Lovell was ranked as captain in the United States Navy he was the main leader in the mission apollo 13. He was one of the most famous astronaut commander of Apollo 13. April 11, 1970

I really cannot relate to any of the leaders profiled in the book or even from the films showed in class. Honestly, if I had to choose I would pick one of the films shown in class. With that being said, I would have to pick the movie Apollo 13. My leader would be Jim Lovell because of all he did throughout the movie. For some reason, I feel this movie really stood out to me and proved that there could be a variety of concepts that occur in your life and I could relate to Jim. Such concepts included

Ron Howard's re-creation of the happenings aboard NASA's Apollo 13 flight combined some of the biggest talent in Hollywood to produce a masterful film. Apollo 13 takes us back in time, to the late 1960's and early 70's, when America's NASA space program was thriving and the world stood aside to see who would reach the moon first. The impacts of space program are still evident to this day. It is even said that by beating the Russians to the moon, we established ourselves are the top power in the

a problem said Jim Lovell” At first their intention was to land on the moon, but that was all about to change. When the Apollo 13 ship’s oxygen tank ruptured the crew had to find a way to survive. Way before the launch the problems started. The oxygen tank had been broken before they installed it into the ship. The no 2 oxygen tank had been previously been used in the apollo 10 ship (Dr. David R. Williams). The oxygen tank had been taken out but during that time had been dropped. No one had known

Hero of Apollo 13 The leadership style and communication methods identified during the Apollo 13 mission as portrayed in the movie of the same name will be explored in this paper, as well as the effectiveness (or ineffectiveness) of both. Apollo 13 brought out the best in mankind at its darkest moment. Flawed technology in place long before the flight caused the disaster, but the humanity of effective leadership and communication skills brought our astronauts home safely. In life, Apollo 13 was to

After watching the movie Apollo 13, all I can take away is irritation, several unanswered questions, and poorly explained minute details relating to traveling in space. While some details are easy to understand, such as the effects of gravity on weight and the effects of space travel on the human body, many instances of scientific references are made under the presumption that the viewer understands what is being said. Along with the inability to detail the process of achieving space travel, the

“Houston we’ve had a problem.” Everything was going according to plan as the astronauts aboard the spacecraft on the Apollo 13 space mission flew out of Earth’s atmosphere with the goal of landing on the moon. When an oxygen tank exploded, it became uncertain to all whether or not those men would return home. Every individual on mission control scrambled to develop a new plan in order to get the crew back on Earth. The clock was ticking until the men would run out of air and there was no definite
