Summary

More
On April 13, 1970, about 200,000 miles from Earth and counting, an explosion ripped through Jim Lovell's spacecraft. The crippled ship was hurtling toward the moon at three times the speed of sound, losing power and leaking oxygen into space.

Lovell and his crew were two days from the dream of a lifetime—walking on the surface of the moon. Now, they would count themselves lucky ever to set foot on Earth again.

From the first seconds of the crisis to the final tense moments at Mission Control, Lost in Outer Space takes readers inside the minds of the heroic Apollo 13 astronauts as—armed only with ingenuity, imagination, and a few makeshift supplies—they struggle to survive against overwhelming odds. Includes archival photographs of the crew and detailed diagrams of the Apollo 13 spacecraft.
