Apollo 13 engineers honored....It is about time

•  Apollo 13 Engineers Feted on Anniversary
• " A group of engineers was honored Tuesday for concocting a plan using plastic bags, cardboard and duct tape to save Apollo 13's astronauts after their spacecraft was crippled by an explosion 35 years ago.

The story of Apollo 13 is amazing! If you have kids please tell them the story. It shows American know how, faith, and resolve.

•  Astronauts Jim Lovell, Fred Haise and Jack Swigert would have died without the engineers' quick thinking....... Sunday marked the 35th anniversary of the spacecraft's return to Earth after their aborted moon mission. It was crippled by an oxygen tank that overheated and exploded, raising concerns the carbon dioxide the astronauts expelled from their lungs as they breathed would eventually kill them. Two of Apollo's three fuel cells, a primary source of power, also were lost.
