What a beautiful postcard! I am big fan of space exploration :)
On April 11, 1970, the Apollo 13 lunar module launched into space on a routine mission; however, for the three astronauts on board, this mission would veer far from plan. While in flight, a explosion caused damage to the spacecraft and depleted the oxygen supply of the crew. Through the miraculous efforts of those at ground control and the strength and courage of the flight crew, all were safely returned to Earth. This bring them back alive attitude, as expressed in flight director Kranz's word to his staff, "Failure is not an option," is indicative spirit of human achievement.
