In April 1970 the World held its breath as it awaited the safe return of the astronauts of the Apollo 13 mission. In continuance of our Apollo Series, we honor "NASA's Finest Hour" with our Apollo 13 race. Join us!
In the face of failure and devastation, the crew and teams at NASA overcame the odds to bring the astronauts safely home. While your challenges may not be the same as theirs, we all have struggles to overcome. Celebrate the human spirit and strive to overcome whatever you're facing.
