Một cuộc giải cứu tuyệt vời
Vào ngày 11 tháng 4 năm 1970, Apollo 13 đã bay vào không gian từ Florida, Hoa Kỳ. Nếu nhiệm vụ thành công, Apollo 13 sẽ là tàu vũ trụ có người lái thứ ba hạ cánh trên mặt trăng. Tuy nhiên, sau hai ngày, đã xảy ra một vụ nổ. Nếu bình oxy không phát nổ, tàu vũ trụ sẽ hạ cánh trên mặt trăng. Nhưng thay vào đó, nhiệm vụ đã dừng lại và tàu vũ trụ quay quanh mặt trăng. Giám đốc chuyến bay, Gene Kranz, muốn sử dụng lực hấp dẫn của mặt trăng để đẩy tàu vũ trụ trở lại Trái đất. Nếu ông không đưa ra quyết định này, các phi hành gia sẽ không thể sống sót. Một trong những vấn đề lớn nhất của hành trình trở về là loại bỏ carbon dioxide khỏi tàu vũ trụ. Nếu các kỹ sư trên Trái đất phát minh ra một hệ thống để thực hiện việc này một cách nhanh chóng, các phi hành gia sẽ không thể thở được. Cuối cùng, vào ngày 17 tháng 4, các phi hành gia đã trở về Trái đất an toàn.
