Introduction

Suddenly, there was a loud noise and Jim flew into a wall.

"WHAT WAS THAT?" he shouted.

Jack sat in his chair and watched papers and bags of food fly around inside the command module.

"What happend?" Jim ask again. He looked at the other astronauts, but they didin't answer.

Then there was a second noise.

"Look!" said Fred. "The lights on the controls are going crazy! I never saw that before!"

Jack spoke into the radio."Houston, we have a problem.

It ıs Monday, April 13, 1970 and Apollo 13is flying through space. The three astronauts in the command module are going to the Moon. Suddenly, something goes wrong. There is a loud noise and the command module loses power. Oxygen is leaving the ship. The astronauts can't live without oxygen or power. What can they do? What can their controllers in Houston do? Will the astronauts walk on the Moon? Will they get home again?

Jim Lovell and Jeffrey Kluger wrote a book about this trip, Lost Moon.Then, William Broyles, Al Reinert and John Sayles turned the book into the great movie, APOLLO 13 with Tom Hanks.This book comes from Dina Anastasio's story of the movie.
