Click on the play button below to listen.

On its mission to the Moon, Apollo 13 encountered a near-fatal situation.  The crew (in the space ship) first let the ground-control team (in Houston) know about the problem when they radioed this message.

The time was 21:08 on the 13th of April, 1970.  The three crew members were 200,000 miles away from Earth.
