Large color satin-finish photographic print of an Earthrise from the front poster of the 1995 film 'Apollo 13,' inscribed in gold ink by James Lovell, "'Houston, we've had a problem!' James Lovell, Apollo 13 CDR," Fred Haise, "Fred Haise, Apollo 13 LMP," and Jack Lousma, "13, we'd like you to stir up your cryo tanks.' Jack Lousma, CAPCOM, Apollo 13."

Apollo 13, launched on April 11, 1970, experienced a critical failure on April 13 when an oxygen tank exploded, crippling the service module and leading to the iconic phrase, "Houston, we have a problem." The explosion caused a loss of electrical power and a critical drop in oxygen levels, forcing the mission to be aborted. To survive, astronauts James Lovell, John Swigert, and Fred Haise, along with NASA engineers, improvised solutions such as using the lunar module as a "lifeboat" to provide life support and course correction. Through meticulous planning and problem-solving, including creating a makeshift carbon dioxide removal system, the crew successfully navigated back to Earth, and Apollo 13 safely splashed down in the Pacific Ocean on April 17, 1970. The dramatization of the events, 'Apollo 13,' premiered June 30, 1995 to great success, ranking number one at the box office earning $25,353,380 during its opening weekend.
