On April 11, 1970, the Apollo 13 mission was launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida. The crew consisted of Commander Jim Lovell, Command Module Pilot Jack Swigert, and Lunar Module Pilot Fred Haise. The mission was intended to be the third lunar landing, but it was aborted two days into the flight after an oxygen tank exploded in the Service Module.

The explosion crippled the spacecraft and left the crew with limited power, water, and oxygen. They were forced to abandon their plans to land on the moon and instead focus on returning to Earth safely. The journey back was fraught with danger, but the crew managed to overcome every obstacle and splash down in the Pacific Ocean on April 17, 1970.

In his book Never Panic Early, Fred Haise tells the true story of the Apollo 13 mission. He describes the challenges that the crew faced and the lessons that they learned. Haise also emphasizes the importance of never panicking early, even in the most difficult of circumstances.

Never Panic Early is a gripping account of one of the most dramatic space missions in history. It is a story of courage, resilience, and the power of the human spirit.
