The Apollo 13 mission launched on April 11th, 1970 – 55 years ago today. Above all else, Apollo 13 showed the greatness that people are capable of when put to a test with the highest stakes. Over the course of several tense days, the Apollo 13 crew (Jim Lovell, Fred Haise and Jack Swigert) and the NASA - National Aeronautics and Space Administration team on Earth worked as one to save lives and bring the spacecraft home. Apollo 13 will always remain a shining episode in America’s history. #AProudSalute to all of you for your extraordinary efforts during that challenging time.
