Apollo 13 | 43 Amps | 4

from Against The Odds

The three astronauts on the crippled Apollo 13 spacecraft round the Moon and finally begin the return leg of their journey toward Earth. But their troubles are far from over. They still have to strictly ration the amount of power they’re using, so they have enough remaining for the all-important reentry procedure. They also must execute a series of precise “burns”—firing their rockets at just the right instant to get them back on a trajectory to Earth. One small mistake could send them hurtling into deep space, never to return. Listen early and ad free with Wondery+. Join Wondery+ for exclusives, binges, early access, and ad free listening.
