On April 13, 1970, an explosion on the Apollo 13 spacecraft threatened to quickly end the moon mission. The intense drama plays out aboard the spacecraft, in mission control, and at the family home of mission commander Jim Lovell. The multiple viewpoints (especially that of Lovell's teenage daughter, Barbara) add intriguing perspectives. Period photographs enhance gravitas and emotion. Sources are appended.
