#OTD 54 years ago Apollo 13 rounded the Moon's far side, setting an unbeaten record for human distance from the Earth. The damaged spacecraft was on its way home, but time was critical. Mission Control instructed the crew to make a second burn and cut 10 hours off the trip #NASA

54 years ago: in the aftermath of the explosion that crippled Apollo 13, Glynn Lunney began his shift at Mission Control as Flight Director. The spacecraft was incapable of completing a lunar landing mission. Lunney's team devised a new plan that could return the crew to Earth.

54 years ago, Apollo 13 was on the way to the #Moon, and 200,000 miles from home. The crew followed a simple maintenance request from Mission Control: stir the cryo tanks. Ninety five seconds later, a catastrophic sequence of events rippled through the spacecraft.

54 years ago #OTD: The crew of Apollo 13 make a TV broadcast minutes before the accident that will come to define the mission. The footage is watched by flight director Gene Kranz' team in Mission Control: they will make the first moves to save the lives on board the spacecraft.
