About this video...
200,000 miles from Earth an explosion rips through the Apollo 13 spacecraft. It is April 13, 1970, and what began as a thrilling journey to the Moon for astronauts James Lovell, John Swigert and Fred Haise - just became a mission of survival.

When the system alarms began going off, they were over half-way to the Moon. For six days, the world watched breathlessly in hopes that three of America's finest young men could pilot a crippled spacecraft around the Moon and back to Earth. Watch and listen as the astronauts and staff at NASA Control play out this drama in true life in this historical NASA film on home video.

As an added bonus, this video also contains NASA's historical film on the 1975 Apollo-Soyuz Mission. In the mids of the cold war, the United States and the Soviet Union put aside political differences to launch a joint mission into space.

Running time 60 minutes.
