Question

Imagine you are one of the crew of

Apollo 13 safely back on Earth. Describe
how you felt when the accident
happened. What did you think and how
did you react? In three minutes write a
few sentences. Tell the class.

Answer

I was very shocked and quite nervous

when I heard the explosion. I thought a
meteor had hit the spacecraft. It turned
out to be a short circuit which had
caused an oxygen tank to explode. We
had to act quickly and come up with a
solution to survive because we were
running out of oxygen and power. We
decided to move into the lunar module
which had its own oxygen, water and
power supply. We knew we could survive
in there and return to Earth. We just had
to reduce the carbon dioxide levels
because there were three of us and the
module was only designed for two. We
managed that and we made it back to
Earth safely. We were very relieved.
