I really enjoyed reading this article. I have heard about the Apollo 13 mission back in high school when we watched a movie on it. It’s an incredible story and I can’t believe they survived the mission. I cannot imagine the fear the felt when they knew it was highly possible that they would die. I also really like the picture of Apollo 13 taking off. It’s a great picture to help tell your story.

Congrats on the publication of your article! This article was incredibly interesting to read. The reader could easily understand what occurred during the Apollo 13 mission because to the excellent study and organization of all the information. I really loved how you started your post by outlining the mission’s goal, and how the remainder of it followed an excellent line of logic. The images you used were really clear and well utilized, particularly the one with all the astronauts. Overall, the material was excellent and highly educational. Great Job!

The writing in this article was done really well! I wanted to keep reading to discover how the Apollo 13 crew would survive. Before reading this article, I only knew about Apollo 13’s “successful failure.” I liked learning the details of what happened, like how they cut the flight time by 10 hours and had to use the sun as their alignment star.

Awesome article. It shocked me how short it was as first, but it makes sense. I’m sure for everyone involved, their “sucessful failure” happended so fast. It’s a miracle that everyone had come back alive, maybe even a little traumatized, but overall well. Not only that, but NASA would be able to use this as their next steps to getting a man on the moon. Also, I really liked the photos you chose, the one with the three men and the picture of Apollo 13 taking off. Awesome job once again!

Great Article! I’ve only ever heard parts and pieces of Apollo 13, so finding it out it was more of a rescue mission than an actual expedition was interesting. The wording used was also great as it gave a feel of being put into the same monumental pressure the ground control and Apollo 13 crews’ must have been experiencing during that whole ordeal.

This was a very interesting article. I didn’t know much about the Apollo 13 mission before this so this was very insightful. I have no desire to go to space. I absolutely hate the idea but it’s crazy these people willingly signed up for this mission. I didn’t know the famous line “houston, we have a problem” came from this event.

I think this is an amazing story and it was very well written. For me anytime I read about anything with astronauts I just am always amazed because I know I would never be able to go up into space. The fear of anything going wrong and also all of the things I would have to remember to make sure everything goes planned. It would definitely be too much stress for me to handle so anyone that does this job to me is amazing and I will always tip my hat off to them.

This is an incredibly interesting article. I never knew that this was the origin of the phrase ‘Houston, we’ve got a problem’. It must have been extremely tedious to make the calculations that they did under such circumstances but the fact that they made it through is insane.

While reading this article I learned how the passengers on Apollo 13 were resourceful in order to make it. I think this article is an interesting read because it demonstrates just how dangerous space travel really is. And even though things did not go according to plan the teams on the rocket and on earth had to accommodate to the surrounding situation in order to bring everyone home safely.

This was a very good article! I have heard about the Apollo 13 mission and of course – the famous saying “Houston, we have a problem.” Luke Combs actually has a song with that exact title! It is miraculous to see how they managed to survive that mission in space and come back home – considering how relatively new the space mission was at that time. I am sure it was a good learning experience going forward to successful flights to the moon.
