Br 1-07; Apollo13

I chose this book because I heard a news that Wakata astronaut came back to earth. So I wanted to read something about space.

Summary

This story is about 3 astronauts and the crue of the mission control how soved the major problem that happened in the Apollo 13. In Christian, the number 13 is very ominous. So many people worried and wanted everything will goes fine. But in Monday, April 13. 1970 when Apllo 13 was flying to the moon, the ship's Oxygen tank exploded. The ship was loosing it's power and oxygen. Losing the ship's power means that the astronuat can't come home. Losing oxygen means death. So it was a major problem. They didn't have enough power to come back by it's self so they used the moon's gravity. They didn't have the time but that was the best way. So they went around the Lunar Orbit , blast thier engine, leave the lunar orbit and came back to earth. (169 words)
