What is Lucky 13 : Survival in Space about?

<p><b>Heroism in outer space is the legacy of the lunar mission Apollo 13</b>. On April 11, 1970, astronauts Jim Lovell, Fred Haise, and Jack Swigert were launched into space as the crew of <i>Apollo 13</i>. Their mission, like the missions of <i>Apollo 11</i> and <i>Apollo 12</i>, was to explore the lunar surface. But that mission was never completed. As they began the procedure for landing on the Moon, the spacecraft was rocked by a violent explosion. Oxygen began pouring out of the Service Module, and the spacecraft began to lose power. Jim Lovell radioed Mission Control with the now-famous words, "Houston, we have a problem." All over the world, people followed the plight of the astronauts. Richard Hilliard examines the crisis of <i>Apollo 13</i>, one of the great survival stories of the space age, in a lively text and dramatic illustrations.</p>
