At 55 hours the crew held a TV broadcast for 49 minutes where they showed off their living conditions and how they worked in weightless situations. Nine minutes after the broadcast mission control instructed

night of August 13‚ 1970 a spark from the exposed wires caused a fire‚ which ripped apart one oxygen tank and damaged the other inside the Odyssey‚ spacecraft. The astronauts were losing oxygen fast. In our project we had to find a solution to get the ping pong ball from one side of the gap to the other. Some similarities with Apollo 13 and our project was that we all had to find a solution of a problem and we all had one chance. These similarities are important to the success of Apollo 13 and our team
