We watched the movie Apollo 13, I tought it was going to be a boring movie but It turned out to be one of the best movies I've ever watched..(I mean it). This movie was about 3 men Jim Lovell, Ken Mattingly, and Fred Haise who got chosen to go the moon. First they had to be trained for 6 months to be able to be ready. They were really excited and looked very prepared to go. That's when Ken got the measles and had to be removed from the crew. Ken wasn't so thrilled when he first got told that he couldn't go. After that they had his backup John.L.Swigert. He quickly catched up and was ready to go. Finally the BIG day came April,11,1970 was the day ready to launch off. They all got suited in with those giant suits and buckled in, then it was the moment the whole world was watching....BOOM!--they launched off. As they were up in space everything was going smooth until something exploded in the command module. They needed to move to the lem because they were running out of oxygen and power. Unfortunately they didn't make it to the moon and had to come back. NASA was counting 3:00 minutes for them to come back but they didn't make it on that time, as everyone was watching they were getting worried that they wouldn't make it. Guess what..?--they died!:(. Just kidding...that's what I tought when I was watching the movie. They made it back safely and even tough they didn't make it to the moon---they said it was A Successful Failure. I agreed with that they had the courage and braveness to go up there and they completed their mission. Unlike me I would be freaking scared to go up into space....!!!
