Apollo 13 Essay
Apollo 13 Questions
1.I'd first have to say that the head of mission control on the ground was definitely important in
the salvaging of Apollo 13. He was faced with problem after problem yet he kept a somewhat level
head through all of it and managed the engineers and other people involved back at Houston very
well. Jim Lovell's piloting skills played a rold in the crew's survival as well. When he had to set the
ship's course for Earth manually it took a great deal of skill and patience and he deserves credit for
that. Ken Mattingly might not have made it to space, but his extensive knowledge of the ins and outs
of the spacecraft saved the lives of his friends when they had a power crisis.

As for the astronauts, I think their attitude towards the space program was positive. They obviously
were enthused about their mission to the moon, but I think they were beginning to believe these
missions were becoming routine as well. I gathered this from their horseplay and wisecracks in
space prior to the accident.
4. Apollo 13 wasn't known for any great scientific achievements of course, but it proved the point
that space flight is anything but routine or mundane. It proved that something as small as some
faulty wiring could spell disaster for an entire mission. It opened the eyes of the media and general

One obvious difference is that there were no fatalities in Apollo while the whole crew of
Challenger perished. The Challenger incident happened before the shuttle even reached space while
the Apollo's problems occurred on the way to the moon far from Earth.
There was also a difference in the nature of the incidents. Apollo's troubles stemmed from an
explosion in the oxygen tanks due to some faulty wiring that cut the spacecraft's electrical power,
oxygen, and other systems. The challenger disaster was caused by a cracked O–ring in the solid fuel
rocket due to cold weather. Flames within the rocket
leaked
