Apollo 13. An Image in Time

 Since people have been taking picture's they have been capturing moments in time, moments in history.I thought it might be fun to pick photo's from the pages of history and to start a series. This picture was taken on board an air craft carrier. That picked up the Apollo 13 crew members  James A. Lovell,  John L. "Jack" Swigert, and  Fred W. Haise. The three man crew started out on a mission to the moon. Halfway there a spark set off oxygen tanks and caused an hole in the side of the space craft. Oxygen was not only used for breathing (of course),but also to power the space craft. The mission of landing on the moon was aborted . The crew survived in the lunar module. That was suppose to be used to land on the moon. They used the module's power and life support systems to get them home again. The whole world held it's breath as the spacecraft made reentry. There was a happy ending of course!
