James Lovell

The Rescue of Apollo 13

James Lovell will always be remembered as the astronaut who did not land on the Moon, but he should also be remembered as the man who calmly and courageously guided his crippled spacecraft back to Earth, set records for time spent in space, and was part of the mission that passed behind the dark side of the Moon. His long and distinguished career in the space program and beyond is recounted in this gripping book enhanced with stunning NASA photographs.

Series Review--
"Rosen Publishing carves out a niche in focusing its space-related young reader series on biographies. They contain engaging bits of information. All are well written and feature a glossary, a list of web sites, and books for further reading."-Ohioana Quarterly

Series Review--
"Well-written and indexed, this is a worthwhile series. Most schools and public libraries should purchase this set. Recommended."
