Apollo 13: 7. Resurrection
Can the Apollo 13 astronauts survive re-entering Earth’s atmosphere aboard the revived Odyssey spacecraft? One mistake could see them incinerated or lost forever in deep space.
Can the Apollo 13 crew survive re-entering Earth’s atmosphere aboard the revived Odyssey spacecraft? After four days in a spacecraft with dwindling power and oxygen supplies, the astronauts face a series of critical tests on their journey home. One mistake could see Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert, and Fred Haise incinerated or lost forever in deep space. In the final moments of radio silence, Nasa mission control begins to fear the worst.
