When will humans return to the moon? When will we land on Mars? Looking ahead, see how space heroes struggled to survive in outer space half a century ago, challenging the limits of technology with wisdom and courage. In April 1970, during the heyday of the Apollo space program, the Aerospace Administration sent Lowell and three others to fly the Apollo 13 for the third moon landing mission in the United States. On the third day of the mission, an unexplained explosion severely damaged the spacecraft, causing a large amount of oxygen and power loss, and the astronauts were forced to enter the lunar module for temporary shelter. The focus of the story is not only the spacecraft, but also the dedication of the control center personnel, and the stories of Lowell's relatives.

True life misadventure and heroism
The blow-by-blow account of NASA's third attempt to land a man on the moon as told by the mission commander himself. It is a classic truth-is-stranger-than-fiction tale that leaps from the pages in a nonstop page-turner that became a Hollywood blockbuster and popularized the term "Failure is Not an Option". This is an easy, enjoyable read. The book should be required reading for every middle school student.
