On 13 April 1970, Apollo 13 suffered a near-catastrophic explosion.
The planned lunar landing was instantly called off and the new
challenge was to get the spacecraft safely back to Earth. When the
carbon dioxide in the three astronauts' exhaled breath threatened
to asphyxiate them, the crew improvised a filter device, which had
been tested in Mission Control, to make the air breathable. Only
hours before hurtling back into the atmosphere did they power up
the Apollo spacecraft again - not knowing if it had been fatally
damaged in the explosion. Here is the in-depth, inside technical
story of how a potential disaster became NASA's finest hour, told
by a member of the team working in Mission Control during the
crisis to ensure the astronauts' safety.
