13 was a mission that some may grow to learn was a failure; It was in fact the complete opposite. Space entry was improved immensely, with the efforts and struggles gained from previous missions. In addition, one of the victims of this mission, Jim Lovell, “believed it was a success. Everyone was tested on their ability to work together and that is how Apollo 13 succeeded” (Anastasio 90). Future space entry missions would not have been as successful as they are without previous missions bettering

something so bad you could taste it? That desire was all you could focus on and you wondered when the opportunity would come. This is just what happened to astronaut Jim Lovell in the film Apollo 13.

I believe that hard work is an attribute that everyone should have. The people described in Hidden Figures, Dorothy Vaughan, Mary Jackson, Katherine Johnson, and Christine Darden, all showed this attribute, as well as dedication, skill, and courage. As the book follows their stories throughout their careers at Langley Laboratory we see them working with a determination and skill that sent man into space. Without the hard work of these, and many others, America may have never reached the moon. The
