Apollo 13
Film Series, with discussion
In conjunction with the 2008 Folklife Festival celebrating NASA’s 50th anniversary, the museum presents a series of three classic films about space exploration. Today’s film is introduced by Jeannie Kranz (United Space Alliance, Houston, Texas), with additional remarks by T.K. Mattingly (an astronaut who stayed behind on Apollo 13, but helped bring the crew back):
Apollo 13 (1995, 2 hr. 20 min, rated PG, directed by Ron Howard) Apollo 13 was a routine space mission until the craft was crippled in space. Astronauts Jim Lovell (Tom Hanks), Fred Haise (Bill Paxton), and Jack Swigert (Kevin Bacon) — along with mission control staff in Houston — fought to bring the mission home.
