So tomorrow (Saturday April 11 2020) marks the 50th Anniversary of the Apollo 13 launch, and another time the world eventually rallied together around a single cause. If you are a “space” buff you may be interested in checking out this site for a play-by-play of the events all those years ago (and since we are all stuck at home too). Cheers and enjoy.

@Leo the Apollo 13 events 50 years ago might be something you may want to touch upon during the radio show on Saturday. A successful period from our common history where human drive and determination overcame a potentially catastrophic event… through the use our ingenuity and technologies. 🙂
