I still have

nightmares about this.

An explosion in a spacecraft on its way to the moon.

Okay, you know, here we've had a problem here.

It rocked everything.

Swiker's eyes were as wide as saucers.

Three astronauts aboard a ship with failing systems 200,000 miles from home.

Here's the we've had a problem.

We got more than a problem.

We lost O2 tank two pressure.

Nothing made sense in those first few seconds.

No one knew what exactly had happened.

We are vending something out into space.

It's a gas control sword.

It's going down.

We're losing it.

Yes, we are.

From the BBC World Service, 13 Minutes to the Moon, Season 2.

The incredible story of the flight of Apollo 13.

Four days in space in 1970 with the astronauts' lives under constant threat.

We were not confident we were going to get the crew back.

I was thinking that we weren't going to survive.

But we were going to try our best all the way out until the oxygen left us and that was the end of the deal.

As far as he was concerned, they really didn't have much of a chance of coming back

and

doctors fell apart.

We were exhaling carbon dioxide and slowly that gas was building up.

We were being poisoned by our own exhalation.

Gradually temperature went down.

It got very cold, 35 or 40 degrees, like the inside of your refrigerator.

I was worried about Fred, so I comforted him a little bit, put my arms around him, and tried to get my body heat in his body.

It's amazing.

It's absolutely friggin' amazing.

You got to hand it to the crew.

That crew were brave, I'll tell you.

Hour after hour, day after day, thousands of engineers around the United States battle to keep the astronauts alive and resurrect a dead spacecraft.

Quit dwelling on this being impossible.

Ask yourself what would make it possible.

We weren't heroes.

We're ordinary people

with a little bit of math, a little bit of science, and that's all we had.
