Retrieval. The Command Module of Apollo 13 is hoisted upon a navy ship after being plucked out of the ocean following splashdown. The 5-day, 23-hour flight suffered an oxygen tank failure 2 days into the mission. Some damaged insulation wiring was accidentally ignited during the stirring of the tanks. The Lunar Module was now their lifeboat. It was designed to support 2 adults for 2 days but NASA engineers were then challenged with the task of supporting 3 people for 4 days! Long story short, watch Ron Howard’s classic film, Apollo 13 for a beautiful retelling of this perilous mission.
