The Miraculous Survival of the Apollo 13 Astronauts
This documentary retells the near-disaster of Apollo 13, the mission meant to land on the Moon that turned into a fight for survival. Two days out, an explosion crippled the spacecraft, and NASA raced to bring three astronauts home against desperate odds.
