Synopsis
In April 1970, during the glory days of the Apollo space program, NASA sent Navy Captain Jim Lovell and two other astronauts on America's fifth mission to the moon. Only fifty-five hours into the flight of Apollo 13, disaster struck: a mysterious explosion rocked the ship, and soon its oxygen and power began draining away. Commander Lovell and his crew watched in alarm as the cockpit grew darker, the air grew thinner, and the instruments winked out one by one. The full story of the moon shot that almost ended in catastrophe has never been told, but now Lovell and coauthor Jeffrey Kluger bring it to vivd life. What begins as a smooth flight is transformed into a hair-raising voyage from the moment Lovell calls out, "Houston, we've got a problem." Minutes after the explosion, the astronauts are forced to abandon the main ship for the lunar module, a tiny craft designed to keep two men alive for just two days. But there are three men aboard, and they are four days from home. As the hours tick away, the narrative shifts from the crippled spacecraft to Mission Control, from engineers searching desperately for solutions to Lovell's wife and children praying for his safe return. The entire nation watches as one crisis after another is met and overcome. By the time the ship splashes down in the Pacific, we understand why the heroic effort to rescue Lovell and his crew is considered by many to be NASA's finest hour. This riveting book puts the reader right in the spacecraft during one of the worst disasters in the history of space exploration. Written with all the color and drama of the best fiction, Lost Moon is the true story of a thrilling adventure and an astonishing triumph over nearly impossible odds. It was a major Oscar(R)-nominated motion picture directed by Ron Howard and starred Tom Hanks and Kevin Bacon.

    Lost Moon review.

    Lost Moon is a great read on Apollo 13 , the successful failure. Fantastic detail is given on how NASA saved the Apollo 13 crew. Lost Moon can not be put down, a real cliffhanger. Even though you know the outcome in history this book is very exciting til the last page. Plus the coauther. being Jim Lovel helps also. Highly recommended.

    Lost Moon by Jim Lovell, Kluger Jeffrey (1994)

    I bought this book because I was a small boy when my mother and I watched the Mercury missions. We continued through the Gemini missions and when I was 10 the Apollo missions began. By this time I was into it, watching every aspect and finding all the information I could at the time. We lived not fifty miles from NASA. By the time Apollo 11 landed on the moon, I was as more knowledgable than most average citizens. However, like most, I began to lose interest after the 2nd moon landing. When Apollo 13 had their accident, I was again drawn to the space program and followed the mission to splashdown. A few years ago I watched Tom Hanks in the movie "Apollo 13" and I realized that some of the events did not ring true. I bought this book, "Lost Moon" to find out the ...

    Lost Moon

    Great read! After seeing the movie Apollo 13 numerous times, I wanted to know the real story, and of course it takes Hollywood to embellish a truly incredible incident. But, by enlarge, the movie was fairly accurate!

    Marvelous story!

    Very interesting containing all of the backstories not shown in movies or even NASA footage. The book is in excellent condition considering it was used. I looked for this for a long time and am so glad I finally found it.
