When Jim is talking to his younger son about the Apollo 13 mission, he is explaining the mission using words that his son would understand. At first everything seemed exiting and or interesting but the conversation got more serious after his son asks: “Dad did you know the astronauts’ on the fire?”, he was asking about Grissom, White, and Chaffee who had passed away caught in a capsule/launch pad fire during a routine test, Apollo 1 fire. Jim told his son that he knew all of the astronauts that were

1. The movie “Hubble” was about a large telescope that was sent into space by NASA that somehow had a flaw. The flaw was the telescope had a bad lens ad the astronauts, had to go into space to fix in. they basically had to give it glasses so that the images that it was sending back to earth would be clearer. What I learned from the movie was two things, one I don’t think I could be an astronaut, because their job seems to be very difficult. They have to fix big thing in such a little cramped space

Apollo 13 was first scheduled for March 1970 but eventually was shifted for April that year. Some spectators believe it was because one of the oxygen tank in the service module encountering a problem during testing, and it should not have been ignored. Only the third intended mission to the moon and it wouldn’t quite make it. On April 13, 1970 two days after Apollo 13 lifted off something went wrong. The three men, Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert, and Fred Haise trained as any other astronaut would, but

Introduction Apollo 13 was the third NASA mission to attempt to land on the moon. Apollo 13 was set to launch on April 11, 1970. A sequence of events caused the three astronauts to abort their mission, and they were forced to return to Earth. Almost three days after launch there was an explosion in the second oxygen tank in the service module. This explosion caused the first tank to rupture a valve. Apollo 13 spacecraft began to lose oxygen rapidly. The loss of oxygen lead to rapid loss of power

Film Review: Apollo 13 Three men shivered in the cold, dark spaceship as it floated through space, unsure if they would return to Earth after the first disaster to occur in space. During the early 1960’s, America was fascinated with the Space Race. The United States became the first country to put a man on the moon, and the exploration did not stop there. Apollo 13 tells the story of three astronauts that were supposed to go to the moon. On the journey there, part of the ship exploded, causing

then came the near disaster of Apollo 13 that re-ignited American interest in space travel. Apollo 13 was a successful failure, while it did not achieve its goal of landing on the moon, it showed how good NASA’s people as well as their space crafts were, in that they were able to return the crew safely after such a catastrophic failure on the space craft, which was the NASA’s finest hour. Pre-Launch Apollo 13 was set to launch on April 11, 1970 at 1:13 pm or 13:13 in military time. The mission was to

As The High Window edges close to the climax and conclusion, Raymond Chandler uses this stage as a time for readers to make comparisons and assumptions between characters. With the protagonist the most relatable Chandler presents Marlowe several intriguing similarities with other characters, thus allowing the reader to create assumptions about his overall development throughout the novel. However, despite coming off as a tough, quick-witted detective, Marlowe unveils new unordinary characteristics

Where Apollo 13 took place and launched, was at the complex 39A at the Kennedy Space Center. It happened at 2:13 p.m. EST, April 11, 1970. What had caused it to orbit the moon and come back, was a ciple in the oxygen tank. One thing that happened was on the Apollo 13 spacecraft, a oxygen tank was crippled and they had to orbit the moon and return home. The main event was that for the third time, they successfully lifted off once more, just to run into a problem with the oxygen tank. The people involved

     James A. Lovell, captain in the United States Navy was born on March 25, 1928 in Cleveland, Ohio. His parents are James Arthur Senior and Blanch Lovell.
