One of the most remembered incidents

Rating: 8/10 (20 August 2007)

I remember listening to the news on the radio that the lives of the astronauts aboard Apollo 13 was in danger as there had been an explosion and that they were losing oxygen. Not understanding what this meant as I was ten year old child, I immediately put the question to my father and he explained it to me. I ran to the nearest window in the room and looked up to see if I could see it. Because I couldn't I presumed that something had happened and prayed that they returned safely. After that I never heard of Apollo 13 until the movie was released.
In the days during the Aplllo missions, it was something exciting to hear about men being put on the moon. The movie portrays the excitement of the mission launch and not to mention the first landing on the moon by a human - Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin.
