Us-Astronautics-Apollo Xiii-Launch
The 363 foot-high (110 meters) Apollo 13 Saturn V space vehicle lifts off 11 April 1970 from the Kennedy Space Centers launch complex with astronauts James A. Lovell Jr. John L. Swigers Jr. and Fred W. Haise Jr. on what was supposed to be the third NASAs manned lunar landing mission. After the explosion of the ships oxygen tanks 13 April as it had passed into the moons gravitational field the crew had to leave the command module and climb into the LEM (Lunar Exploration Module). The three astronauts used primitive celestial navigation techniques to determine where they were and how to get back to earth. Despite continued peril, their calculations worked and on 17 April 1970 Apollo XIII splashed down safely in the Pacific Ocean with all occupants intact. / AFP PHOTO

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring moment when the Apollo 13 Saturn V space vehicle soared into the sky, marking what was meant to be NASA's third manned lunar landing mission. Standing tall at a staggering height of 363 feet (110 meters), this colossal rocket embarked on its journey from Kennedy Space Center's launch complex on April 11,1970. Little did anyone know that just two days later, disaster would strike as an explosion rocked the spacecraft's oxygen tanks while it ventured into the moon's gravitational field. Forced to abandon their command module and seek refuge in the Lunar Exploration Module (LEM), astronauts James A. Lovell Jr. , John L. Swigers Jr. , and Fred W. Haise Jr. found themselves in a perilous situation. Undeterred by adversity, these brave explorers relied on primitive celestial navigation techniques to determine their location and chart a course back home to Earth. Against all odds, their calculations proved successful, leading to Apollo XIII safely splashing down in the Pacific Ocean with all occupants unharmed on April 17th. This remarkable image serves as a testament to human resilience and ingenuity in times of crisis. It reminds us of our boundless determination to explore unknown frontiers even amidst unforeseen challenges. AFP presents this photograph not only as an extraordinary piece of astronautical history but also as a tribute to those who risked everything for humanity's thirst for knowledge beyond our earthly confines.
