Lovell is congratulated by Mission Control on the TV showing. "We're just about ready to close out our inspection of Aquarius and get back for a pleasant evening in Odyssey." Evening Short-Lived The pleasant evening is short-lived. "Hey, we've got a problem They are 200.000 miles away, Fire that engine at 61 hours, beyond, all physical help.

Lovell Jr. who has been in space three times before-and was among the trio that first circled earth's shining satellite. "It'll be hard for an encore after going around the moon for 10 times and coming home," he said then, but added: "I'll keep myself available if they call me. I'll stay by the phone with helmet in hand." The summons came and he left Marilyn and the four children to train anew to land on the moon.

There is Fred W. Haise who has never been in space before, who sometimes has "awakened with a little sense of butterflies from maybe a realization that it's really coming true." He is going to walk on the moon with Lovell, expecting to get out of quarantine just in time to be with Mary when theirfourth child is born. Measles And, by utter chance a possible case of measles there is John L. Swigert a swinging bachelor, who made it into the astronaut corps on the third try. "I had been a test pilot for 11 years," he explains.

"If I was a lawyer, I would aspire to the Supreme Court. The astronaut's job is the supreme court in my profession." Scarcely two days before liftoff, in an uncharacteristic hurry-up switch, back-up pilot Swigert replaces Thomas K. Mattingly as the command module pilot in a crew with whom he has never trained. Mattingly has been exposed to German measles and he is not immune. The April 11 launch of Apollo 13, heading for Fra Mauro's ancient highlands, is straignt and true.

Shove it forward, CM tnen back up, are the kroehlerO "Okay, Houston, I'm showing I tried to reset and fuel cell 1 and 3 are both showing gray flags." The command service module, the power plant that gives the cone-shaped command capsule life, has gone dead. Team Effort "The thing that I think has impressed us, perhaps the most, has been the tremendous effectiveness in team work of our ground support operation as they've worked so closely with the astronauts," space boss Thomas O. Paine says later. "From every state of the union, we've had people connected in by direct wire, working to backstop the many different system decisions that had to be faced up to and made in these very trying hours." The moon landing, an attempt to find evidence that the moon is at least 5 billion years old, is forgotten. Now there is a single objective: bring Lovell, Haise and Swigert home.

"It's really a mess," Lovell reports. To get rid of Aquarius, raise the pressure in the connecting tunnel, then let go.

Everything works. Apollo 13 splashes down, in the Pacific Ocean, only 800 feet off its aiming point. The astronauts are well despite their six-day ordeal "Although the Apollo 13 mission must be recorded as a failure," says NASA administrator Paine after splashdown, "there's never been a more prideful moment in the space program. rection that takes away a major safety factor.
