Geocache Description:


On April 11th 1970 at 13:13 (military time) Apollo 13 left the earth headed for a moon landing, the flight became unlucky 13. Things were going wrong before the flight when Ken Mattingly came down with the German measles and was cut from the flight 48 hours before leaving the earth. Jack Swigert joined the crew of Fred Haise and commander Jim Lovell. On April 13th, 200,000 miles in space a warning signal from a hydrogen went off signaling the start of the end of this mission. A loss of oxygen and then power had the crew doing all they could to get the ship turned and around and heading for home. Apollo 13 made it back to earth safely on April 17th.
