Jack Swigert, Fred Haise and Jim Lovell have endured almost unbearable conditions. And it all comes down to this. Can the crippled spacecraft survive the final test ... the brutal re-entry into Earth's atmosphere?

Well told story of Apollo 13 mission including all the heroes working on the ground at Mission Control and the brave astronauts in space working to fix the successful failure to reach the moon

Could not stop listening

This podcast made the whole story come alive in my ears. I really felt so part of the story.

DeeeeeDooooo ,

Beautifully scripted and narrated

We listened to this series as a family and then watched (rewatched for the adultes) the movie.
Knowing the kind of powerhouse that a Hollywood production is, we all were so very impressed that the podcast had managed to come on top of it. Well done!
