"Houston, we've had a problem."
It was a mission burdened with problems from the beginning. But failure was not an option. Today marks the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 13 mission’s oxygen tank explosion which derailed the nation’s third attempt to land on the Moon.
The explosion nearly left astronauts Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert and Fred Haise stranded in space. Fighting to keep their spacecraft alive, they raced against the clock alongside Mission Control. To save power, the crew shut down several critical systems -- including heat. Quickly, their Apollo spacecraft became an igloo. Water condensed onto the computer displays and switches. Toxic levels of carbon dioxide filled the spacecraft cabin. Thankfully, ingenuity, teamwork and cool heads brought the crew home to a safe splashdown in the Pacific Ocean on April 18, 1970. What could have been a tale of tragedy turned into a tale of triumph.
We remember the lessons of Apollo 13 as we prepare our return to the Moon under our #Artemis program. Houston, we're going back. This time, to stay.
