Apollo 13 Launched 56 Years Ago Today

Back on April 11, 1970 Apollo 13 launched from Kennedy Space Center. NASA shares one of the most harrowing journeys in space history and how the crew of James A. Lovell Jr., John “Jack” Swigert, and Fred Haise made their return.

On April 11, 1970, the powerful Saturn V rocket carrying the Apollo 13 mission launched from Kennedy Space Center propelling astronauts Jim Lovell, Fred Haise, and Jack Swigert on what was intended to be humanity’s third lunar landing. Unfortunately, the mission to explore the Fra Mauro region of the Moon did not go as planned. What many viewed as a now “routine” mission soon had millions around the globe glued to television sets watching and hoping for a positive outcome for one of the most intense episodes in the history of space exploration.
