The Apollo 13 spacecraft goes off course. With no computer to guide them, the astronauts must rely on their flying skills to perform a high-stakes manoeuvre, timed with Commander Jim Lovell’s wristwatch, to get them back on target. If they fail, they risk being marooned in space. Their spaceflight home hangs in the balance.

Team, I simply CANNOT express how I appreciate what the team has done to portray happenings of both the Moon Landing, as well as the shenanigans of Apollo 13. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou.... Love, love, love... I am aware of so much of the Gemini and Apollo missions in particular, and the era of "the right stuff", and it is always with pride that I know it was truly a global escapade, that even Australia had such a huge involvement with. Thankyou BBC World Service team... You utterly rock!! What next? Challenger? Columbia? The last flight of the Shuttle?.. Wishing the team the very best..... Catelyn.... ❤
quite a series. Even better than series 1, which is saying something.
The best pod of the new series✓:) All the best to Kevin Fong and his work for the NHS.
