Summary

"Houston, we have a problem." you may have heard of this quote, it's about Apollo 13. Apollo 13 was trying to get to the moon, when a problem occured that could end the lives of the three astronauts in the spaceship. This book is mainly about what NASA was doing to fix the problem and save the crew. It talked about the problems that they had to solve, and overcome. It's a very suspenseful book, and an excellent one on how working together can fix almost anything.
