About this listen

 Alexandra Reeves takes you inside the fluorescent-lit chaos of Mission Control during the Apollo 13 crisis, where exhausted engineers armed with duct tape, cardboard, and sheer determination faced an impossible challenge: making square lithium hydroxide canisters fit into round holes to save three astronauts slowly suffocating 200,000 miles from Earth. This gripping episode explores the culture of problem-solving, the desperate improvisations, and the human cost behind one of history's greatest collaborative engineering feats.
