Apollo 13

Story Hotline

Determined to prove that numbers aren’t unlucky, NASA launch their 13th space mission to the moon at 13:13. But instead of proving a point, it all goes terribly wrong. In this episode of Story Hotline, Tina takes Ella through one of history’s most successful failures – Apollo 13.
Listen on to find out about the six terrifying and uncertain days that Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert and Fred Haise spent in space. And how the determined heroes in mission control literally fit a square peg in a round hole to try and get them home.
