    The actual launch of the Apollo 13 was on April 11, 1970. Two days into the mission it looked like the smoothest flight that the Apollo program had ever seen. "The spacecraft is in real good shape as far as we are concerned. We're bored to tears down here." said Joe Kerwin of mission control (3). At 55 hours the crew held a TV broadcast for 49 minutes where they showed off their living conditions and how they worked in weightless situations. Nine minutes after the broadcast mission control instructed that Odyssey to give their oxygen tanks a stir and moments later oxygen tank No.2 in the service module exploded, due to an exposed fan wire.

    Apollo 13 was overall a very accurate movie, scientifically and factually. Of course there were things changed in order to advance the story and make the movie more interesting, but most of these things were very small. Apollo 13 was an Apollo mission that came after the first landing on the moon. The problem was that since the United States had already beaten Russia to the moon people weren’t sure why they needed to go back, so there were less resources and money going into this mission.…

The Cuban Missile Crisis occurred between the Soviet Union and the United States during a nuclear arms race. With all of these things taking place, many times people forget this was a huge time in the advancement of the space race across the globe.…
