The Smithsonian Channel series "The Lost Tapes" will devote its fourth episode to the Apollo 13 mission. The episode premieres on Nov. 25, 2018 at 9 p.m. Eastern and reairs twice the following day.
Nine months after Neil Armstrong makes "one giant leap for mankind," Apollo 13 launches from Cape Kennedy, Florida for NASA's third moon landing mission in April 1970. But 55 hours after takeoff, a catastrophic in-flight explosion causes serious damage to the spacecraft and puts the crew in mortal danger. In a frantic attempt to get the astronauts safely home, mission control must use every resource at their disposal.
Witness the events as they unfolded, told through rare news reports, mission control audio, and original NASA newsreels.
