style=\"text-align:justify;text-indent:36.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size:12pt;\">Apollo 13 mission takes off from the Kennedy Space at 14:13 local time (<a title=\"United States of America\" href=\"https:\/\/www.earth-site.co.uk\/Education\/united-states\">US<\/a>  Eastern Standard Time) or 18:13 GMT. The thirteenth Apollo Mission was planned  to be the third manned mission to the Moon, but events didn&rsquo;t go to plan. Just  days before the launch John Swigert had to take&nbsp;  over as Command Module Pilot when the original Command Module Pilot, Ken  Mattingly, was exposed to German Measles from another astronaut. Then just  5 minutes and 30 seconds after take off, the three astronauts (John Swigert,  Fred Haise and James Lovell) felt a small unexpected vibration just before the  centre engine shut down 2 minutes early. This meant that the other remaining  rockets had to burn for slightly longer, using up more fuel than expected in  order to send the crew into orbit. After this initial hiccup the flight seemed  to be going perfectly and the crew were in high spirits, talking to the nation  on a live television broadcast. At 55 hours and 55minutes into the flight  everything changed. At 01:08 (GMT) on the 14 of April 1970 (or 21:08 on the 13<sup>th<\/sup> of April for the Kennedy Space Centre) the No.2 oxygen tank exploded and this  made the No.1 oxygen tank also malfunction. Lovell contacted the space centre  &quot;Houston, we&#8217;ve had a problem here&rdquo;. He went on to inform them that two of  the three fuel cells, which provided electricity for the spacecraft, were not  working and the dials were indicating that all the oxygen from tank 1 was gone  and tank 2 was loosing oxygen very quickly. Lovell confirmed this a few minutes  later when he looked out the window and observed that the craft was venting gas  (this was the Oxygen from tank 2). At about 200,000 miles from Earth the crew  knew this could mean more than just a failure of the mission. With the rapid  loss of oxygen the crew had one option left. They would have to use the Luna  Module, which had its own ample oxygen supplies, as a life raft and survive the  rest of the journey home inside. They entered the Luna Module and closed the  hatch. They used the already aligned path to travel around the Moon and use its  gravity to propel them back to Earth, but many more problems became apparent.&nbsp; It was known that the fuel cells required  water as a coolant but also the crew obviously needed it to survive. The answer  they found was to turn off the coolant pumps and rely on the coldness of space  to take care of some of the heating problem. The crew also severely reduced  their water intake and mainly relied on any wet food rations they had. The crew  also had to create a filter for the air supply when the CO<sub>2<\/sub> reached  dangerous levels. They also managed to align the craft without the instruments  that they were used to using and managed to align for the return trip with just  half a degree off the planed route. The crew returned safely (but severely  dehydrated) to Earth on the 17<sup>th<\/sup> of April 1970. On the 31<sup>st<\/sup> of January 1971 the United States launched the Apollo 14 mission which  succeeded where Apollo 13 failed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 \n\n<h2 style=\"text-align:justify; text-indent:36.0pt; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;\">On the 11th of April in 1814<\/h2>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:justify;text-indent:36.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size:12pt;\">Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte abdicated as emperor and as per the Treaty of  Fontainebleau, he was exiled to the Mediterranean island of Elba.

Then on  the 30<sup>th<\/sup> of March 1814 the sixth coalition forces made up of Russia,  Austria and Prussia defeated Napoleon in the Battle of Paris which led to the  signing of the Treaty of Fontainebleau which stated that Napoleon must give up  his sovereignty of France and other territories. He abdicated on the 11th of April 1814 and was also exiled to the  Mediterranean island of Elba under the treaty, but this was not the end for  Napoleon.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align:justify; text-indent:36.0pt; font-family: Verdana, Geneva, sans-serif; font-size: 12px;\">On the 11th of April in 1689<\/span><\/h2>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:justify;text-indent:36.0pt;\"><span style=\"font-family:'Verdana', 'sans-serif'; font-size:12pt;\">William III and Mary II are crowned sovereigns of Great Britain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"text-align:justify;text-indent:36.0pt;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 11th of April is known as International \u2018Louie Louie\u2019 day after the rock song created by Richard Berry who [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_sitemap_exclude":false,"_sitemap_priority":"","_sitemap_frequency":"","site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"class_list":["post-600","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
