As we prepare to land the first woman and next man on the Moon in 2024 with the #Artemis program, Kelly Marie Tran and Naomi Ackie of @StarWars visited NASA Johnson to test their space skills and see if they have what it takes to be an astronaut.
Today in 1970, the US launched its planned third Moon-landing mission: #Apollo13. Astronauts experienced their first issue during launch, but reached orbit safely. 205,000 miles from Earth, the crew heard a bang & spacecraft systems were rapidly failing... https://t.co/MPf8xRShSD
50 years ago today, the #Apollo13 crew lifted off on their historic mission to the Moon. Two days later, their chance of a lunar landing was lost when an oxygen tank exploded, and the priority became returning to Earth. Listen to the mission in real time: https://t.co/cnjRIHCbZj
