Houston, We've Had a Problem!

We've been watching Apollo 13, one of my all-time favorite movies. I was four when Neil Armstrong first set foot on the moon, and I have been fascinated with space travel ever since.

I love to show this movie as part of my space unit because it shows so many things and invites so many questions. Rather than posting my thoughts, I'd like to invite you all to peruse some of the links, and post your own thoughts, questions, and answers.
