Tuesday Couch Potatoes: Apollo 13

Before I move on to my post for TCP this week, I'd just like to express my happiness in winning the DVD giveaway for this meme.  Yippeee!  This is the second time that I've won something through a blog contest, and I can't wait to get my hands on the DVD I won.  Thanks so much, Kikamz, for hosting this giveaway and for having this meme. :)

So for this week, our theme is Spaced Out, and being a big fan of Tom Hanks and of real-life based films, my pick for this week is the 1995 film Apollo 13.  Here's a summary of this film from IMDb.com:


Based off of real events of one of the worst NASA tragedy's. In 1971, NASA plans to send out people to the Moon for a lunar mission. They have chosen astronauts Jim Lovell, Frad Haise, and Jack Swigert. They have launched into outer space successfully, however, a slight fault from inside the space module caused an explosion that turned the exploration into a test for survival for the crew of Apollo 13. While Loveel, Haise, and Swigert try to survive in space. The workers at NASA (including Ken Mattingly) try to figure out a way to get the astronauts home safely.
