I did not know this was a true story… Of course I also have not been wowed by our barely growing space exploration history. This is truly the story of 3 brave men, it was a pleasant change of topics from what I usually read, which is more over to the ancient and before 1500 history. Hopefully this will be one story of many in the future of space exploration someday.

Throughout the entire article, I was completely engaged about the Apollo 13 story. My thoughts would have been scattered and ambushed by fear if I was put in one of their shoes, however the overall moral of the story is that they survived, and that they survived with courage. It is remarkably amazing that engineers, physicists are able to calculate such mass quantities of numbers down to the very last decimal to make the mission goes to order. Nonetheless, like all plans there can be problems to endure, however, it was dealt with agility and skill by the astronauts to make it home traveling 200,000 miles, it is truly a remarkable story.

This subject is one I know a great amount about so it really caught my attention. Despite me being very aware about Apollo 13, I did not know that the whole mission lasted 142 hours, 54 minutes, and 41 seconds. I had never thought about it as being a “successful failure” but after reading this article I can see why it would be called that.

This was a really cool article!! I had never really heard about Apollo 13 before (but I think there’s a movie about it) and throughout the whole article I was nervous for the men aboard. It’s really scary how everything was fine and then suddenly the whole mission was doomed, and I guess it’s also scary that the men in space had to trust the men back on Earth to help rescue them.

The topic of space has always interested me most. Not only my adoration for space is what pulled me in to read this article, it was the first couple of sentences that had truly intrigued me. I have had prior knowledge of the Apollo 13 mission, but I truly never understood what had happened or what caused this American tragedy before this article. I appreciate the extensive research of what had happened during this panicked situation, the diction used within this article really captures the anxiousness within a person of how are these men going to survive, are they going to make it and for those who have no knowledge of this event, whether if they would ever make it. Furthermore, this article is one of the best I have read thus far.

This story of Apollo 13 was absolutely captivating. The author provided great detail, I actually felt a bit anxious just reading this story! I am happy that we were able to recover all of our courageous astronauts with the amazing calculations and quick thinking of NASA and all involved. This article made me think how I would react in that situation and I am not certain I would have been able to maintain a calm disposition, especially after realizing all of the oxygen escaping the capsule at 200,000 miles away from Earth!

I have a deep love with outer space and wanting to explore it, so much so that i almost decided to study aerospace engineering. Apollo 13 is easily one of the most identifiable space missions for there famous “Houston we have a problem,” quote. The story was excellently structured as I found myself wanting to read more and more. You were able to paint a very vivid picture of the events and create lots of tension. Just when i thought hope was lost, it was found once again. It was a very fun read!

The topic of space travel has always caught the attention of the world, and the story of Apollo 13 is no different. The story of the Apollo 13 mission is an intriguing story. It was the title and the first paragraph that drew my attention to read this article. It must have been scary to see oxygen that is keeping you alive, be released into space. It was well put, and describe the story has if it was happening right in front of me.

This was such a good article to read. I wanted to read it all the way to the end. I knew there had been problems with Apollo 13, but I didn’t know exactly what had happened while being on the spacecraft. I enjoyed reading this article because of the way the sentences were organized and explained. One of the best articles I have read so far. Great job Eduardo!

Great article on the Apollo 13 crew! This movie is one of my favorite space movies because the story keeps you tense about what is going to happen to the crew. I can never imagine myself going through a situation like this in space. This must have been the scare of a life time for the astronauts. I like how detailed this article is about what happened since the ship took of to space. Very amazing!
