APOLLO 13 - all NASA's original footage on the mission that evaded disaster in 3 parts
APOLLO 13 was the third Apollo mission intended to land on the Moon.The craft was successfully launched toward the Moon,but the landing had to be aborted after an oxygen tank ruptured,severely damaging the spacecraft's electrical system.The flight was commanded by James A. Lovell with John L. "Jack" Swigert,Command Module pilot and Fred W. Haise,Lunar Module pilot.Swigert was a late replacement for the original CM pilot Ken Mattingly,who was grounded by the flight surgeon after exposure to German measles.
APOLLO 13 mission was launched on April-11-1970 at 13.13 CST.Two days later,on route to the Moon,a fault in electrical equipment inside one of the Service Module's oxygen tanks produced an explosion which caused the loss of both tanks oxygen,depriving the Service Module of electrical power.This forced the crew to shut down the Command Module to conserve its batteries and oxygen needed for the last hours of flight,and use the Lunar Module's resources as a "lifeboat" during the return trip to Earth.Despite great hardship caused by limited power,loss of cabin heat,shortage of potable water and the critical need to jury-rig the carbon dioxide removal system,the crew returned safely to Earth on April 17 and the mission was termed a "successful failure".

And you think that why? Only a complete moron like yourself would believe such a thing.
They did land on the moon, this WASN'T fake or a stunt and those people did a awesome job to get them home.

@yesiamawizardjonny please provide info why you think it is fake other than non-parallel shadows, no visual of stars on the surface of the moon, or any other bullshit evidence please.

@yesiamawizardjonny Right. So you think NASA was established to direct movies and write the most dramatic stories? You are entitled to your opinion. But just think why would there be 18 such missions and why would they let people with 13 in danger? Easy to discredit all the hard work done by your own fellow country men and blindly stating despite proof that it did not happen is disrespecting them at best.You are going to NAVY then you will realize it urself. Hope atleast you have an open mind
