I still have not noticed about this.

An explosion in a spacecraft when it's way to the moon.

Okay, you know, here we have an problem here.

It rocked everything.

It's like his eyes were as white as saucers.

The re-astronauts aboard a ship with failing systems, 200,000 miles from home.

We got more than a problem.

We lost the O2 tank to pressure.

Nothing made sense in those first few seconds.

No one knew what exactly had happened.

We are beneath something out in space.

It's the gas and so forth.

It's going down. We're losing it.

Yes, we are.

From the BBC World Service, 13 minutes to the moon, season 2,

the incredible story of the flight of Apollo 13.

Four days in space in 1970 with the astronaut's lives under constant threat.

We were in our car, we were going to get the crew back.

I was thinking that we weren't going to survive.

But we were going to try our best all the way out until the oxygen left us and that was the end of the deal.

As far as he was concerned, they really didn't have much of a chance of coming back.

And doctors fell apart.
