Apollo 13

This is a nonfiction story.
Apollo 13 was piggybacked into the air to research the moon. Captain Jim•Lovell, Fred• Haise and Ken•Mattingly would ride this space shuttle, but Ken couldn't ride because he contact with infected individual. So Jack•Swigert rode the space shuttle.
April 11th in 1970, the Apollo had start successful launch. After that day, the Apollo was flying without a trouble few days. But before few days before landing on the moon, trouble had occurred. First, the oxygen tank burst and oxygen started to flow out of the shuttle. But they still have the hope to arrive and land on the moon. However, the damage spread little by little and it was difficult to save the crew’s life. The density of Carbon dioxide was rose and they lacked electric power, so the shuttle would be frozen. The shuttle crew and the control center in the earth continued conversation with tension. Three crew had made an effort to continue conversation. Also, Ken aimed to save his co-worker and introduce the best way to save electric power.
What is worse, a new trouble became clear about the shuttle because it deviates from the course. They used the hand-operated jet. It is successful and they could get through this problem, but landing on the moon was become desperate. They changed the goal to go back to the earth safely. But trouble had occur again and again. They did not have enough weight because if they landed on the moon, they would get one hundred pounds of moon rock. They collected and discarded things. The most difficult problem was entering the atmosphere again. The signal was stopped and control center worried about the shuttle. After four minutes later, the orange parachute was found! All crew was alive! I can’t believe this story is a nonfiction story! I want to go space but I don’t want to get the experience like that. It is one of the most surprising and interesting movie in my life.
