Fifty years later, there is a new generation of astronauts inspired by lessons learned from the Apollo 13 mission.

It has been 50 years since what NASA describes as a “successful failure”.

The Apollo 13 mission never made it to the moon and an explosion left three astronauts fighting for survival.

But the lessons learned have inspired a new generation of astronauts.
