Zane: Apollo 13 A Week in Space
FREE plus Shipping & Delivery.
Retail:$19.99
|
This multimedia disc documents the 13th Apollo mission, which was
scheduled to have been the third lunar landing but instead nearly
ended in terrible disaster. The story is told here through
photographs, movies, and audio clips, arranged in an easy-to-access
format. On April 13, 1970, while still 200,000 miles from home, the
spacecraft suffered an explosion and a great deal of oxygen was lost.
The crew was forced to conserve food, air, and fuel. They made
several on-the-spot decision, 'steering' by the position of the sun
because navigational systems were damaged in the explosion. The craft
made a pass around the moon and headed back home, finally landing
safely in the Pacific Ocean, four days after the explosion. In
addition to 90 minutes of video and audio, the disc also offers 3D
animations to simulate a number of spacecraft maneuvers and procedures.
