The whole predicament was unknown; something unexplainable, still to this day. My name is Olivia. I am sixteen and currently serving a fifteen year imprisonment. The ironic thing is, I don’t remember how, why, or what I did. Just that I have the distressing scar through my stomach to prove something happened that night. The even more ironic thing is, it wasn’t I who did it, it was her. I lead a normal teenage life, just six months ago; at least, as normal as teenage life can ever be. I went to school
Natural products, in general terms, are chemical substances produced in nature1. Or simply putting it, they are molecules found in living organisms, according to Mcmurry2. Natural products are secondary metabolites, which are small molecules living in the organism without effecting in a major way, like nucleus acids, which are essential for the survival of the organisms19. While many of them don’t have a specific biological role, some of them act as sex attractants and anti-feedants19. They differ
Apollo 13 was set to be the third mission to land on the moon this is ironic because it quite simply didn’t do that. It is the most iconic as well sprouting many books and one movie. The space craft was launched at 2:13 pm EST, april11, 1970 and was set to land on the moon however they didn’t make it to do to several mechanical problems with the ship. The chances of survival was slim and the team was not prepared for mechanical failure on such a drastic level. This grueling trip lasted a period
failed. This failure prompted the team to formulate a way to use the LM as a lifeboat in the case that an event like this ever happened. These extra steps the simulation team took to ensure crew safety played a vital role in the outcome of the Apollo 13 mission. The crew was able to successfully complete the LM power-up quickly enough to leave
Apollo 13 is a revolutionary, classic American film. It takes us back to the 1970s, a critical time in American history. The movie captures the essence of America while accurately representing actual events that occurred. Apollo 13 gives us an action packed insight to the actual events that occurred on the aircraft in April 1970. The film informs us about American culture during the time it was set in, as well as the time period it was filmed. Apollo 13 truly captures the spirit and heart of the
Apollo 13 Apollo 13 launched on April 11, 1970 from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The crewmembers aboard the ship were James A. Lovell Jr., John L. Swigert Jr., and Fred W. Haise, Jr. Before the launch, there had been a few problems. Thomas K. Mattingly was supposed to fly on the Apollo 13 but he was exposed to the measles. He didn’t have the antibodies to fight the disease, causing him to not be able to go into space. Swigert took his place. Right before the launch, one of the technicians
boring history lessons. Few of us think such a movie could be enthralling and action-packed. Apollo 13, however, is just that. This 1995 film directed by Ron Howard, is an incredibly accurate portrayal of an event in United States spaceflight history, meant to strengthen the public’s opinion surrounding similar missions and commemorate the crew and mission control who partook in Apollo 13. When Apollo 13’s crew set out for the moon’s Fra Mauro highlands on April 11, 1970, they had no idea they would
The Apollo 13 Mission had a huge impact on space exploration. The Determination of the crew helped them return back to earth. People may think that Apollo 13 would have been a better success if they changed the launch date. Even though they failed at their goals the overall result was success. If they had changed the launch date NASA would have had more time to check the spacecraft and make sure that it was safe. If this event had not happened NASA wouldn't have learned how to make spaceships safer
After watching the Apollo 13 movie, it is interesting to know that this was a “Successful failure” of a project. This is due to the fact that astronauts returned to Earth safely but they never made it to the moon. After the crew headed for the moon they had to disappointedly cancel the mission before it could be completed and return to earth, when the oxygen tank that exploded caused the spacecraft to malfunctioning. A brief history to puts things in perspective, Apollo program was established
Apollo 13 (AS-508): Houston, we have a problem. The Apollo 13 mission was launched at 2:13 p.m. EST, April 11, 1970 from launch complex 39A at Kennedy Space Center. The space vehicle crew consisted of James A. Lovell, Jr. commander, John L. Swigert, Jr., command module pilot and Fred W. Haise, Jr. lunar module pilot. The Apollo 13 Mission was planned as a lunar landing mission but was aborted en route to the moon after about 56 hours of flight due to loss of service module cryogenic oxygen and
The “Successful Failure” That Was Apollo 13 Shortly after Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin landed and walked successfully on the Moon for the first time in history, another lunar mission almost ended in disaster without the valor and strong leadership it took to get three men back to Earth. Jim Lovell (played by Tom Hanks), Jack Swiggert (played by Kevin Bacon), and Fred Haise (played by Bill Paxton) blasted off on the Apollo 13 mission on April 11, 1970, in trying to collect samples from the surface
come. This is just what happened to astronaut Jim Lovell in the film Apollo 13. The film began in mid 1969 at Lovell’s home where he and his colleagues had gathered to watch Apollo 11’s astronauts walk on the moon. Jim had been on missions before and had come close to the moon but his heart’s desire was to walk on the moon. A few months later, he got his wish when he was informed that the primary crew of Apollo 13 had to be removed due to an illness and his crew had been bumped up to become
Apollo 13 experiences major malfunctions which end up changing the mission from landing on the moon to now just trying to return to earth with all of the crew still alive. This movie illustrates how the leaders can develop a new vision and values, and how the team can come together and collaborate under high stress situations. Their vision changes from landing the astronauts on the moon to just getting the astronauts back to earth safely when there is an unexpected explosion in the service module

Also, it was the third mission to the moon to land on. It was a great mission because it was finals “H mission” which had targeted to land on the moon and stay there for at least two days with “lunar EVAS”. In January 31
Lost Moon vs. Apollo 13 “Houston we have a problem,” those words caught the attention of the world on April 13, 1970 during the flight of Apollo 13. The movie Apollo 13, made in 1995, is based on Jim Lovell’s autobiography called Lost Moon, published in 1994. Lovell was the commander of the Apollo 13 mission; Tom Hanks played him in the movie. The crew also included Jack Swigert and Fred Haise. In general, the movie does a good job of portraying the flight of Apollo 13; however there are some
“Everything changes and, somewhere along the line, i'm changing with it”(Eric Burdon). This quote means that people change at some point in their lives even though they don't think that they are going to change. I like this quote because it is very true and everyone will change somewhere along the line. I have changed how I look at people differently. One time I used to be very judgemental and i'm not anymore. Life experiences change how we look at things and how we view the world. Titus, the protagonist
NASA is due to release a recording of “music” that the Apollo 10 astronauts are alleged to have heard while orbiting the far side of the moon, according to the International Business Times (1). The incident is suspected to have been classified for 47 years until it was mentioned during a program that recently aired on the Science Channel. Apollo 10 (2) flew to lunar orbit and back in late May 1969. Thomas Stafford, John Young, and Gene Cernan undertook every aspect of a lunar mission except for
Apollo 13 The 1995 film Apollo 13, directly based on the novel Lost Moon by Jim Lovell and Jeffrey Kluger, was directed by Ron Howard and produced by Brian grazer. In this historical docudrama film based on the Apollo 13 mission events on, known as the seventh manned mission in the American Apollo space program, actors Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, and Bill Paxton who played the roles of Jim Lovell (Hanks), Jack Swigert (Bacon), Fred Haise (Paxton), the mission crew. With intent to land on the moon,
Part 1 “Apollo 13” is a movie featuring a moon-landing mission by NASA’s Space Program in 1970. However, there was a problem. The mission to the Moon was going well, and the almost idyllic journey of astronauts Lovell, Fred Haise, and John Swigert transformed into a heartbreaking nightmare. The team of astronauts was operating the mission through the Spacecraft Center in Houston. Everything was going well as per the plan until Lovell suddenly said in a laconic tone, that he believed there was a
Eventually he was recruited for the Apollo 13 mission. During the flight one of the oxygen tanks exploded forcing NASA and the astronauts to abort the mission. The astronauts used the lunar module as a lifeboat and used the moon as a slingshot to launch them back to Earth. Fred Haise Pioneered space exploration, while persisting to innovate ways to overcome human curiosity, and illuminated the world by expanding knowledge. Fred Haise was an Astronaut on Apollo 13 that launched on April 11th 1970. About
