Watching Apollo 13 when I was younger inspired me and made me want to become an astronaut at one point. However, I realized that while I enjoy the science aspect, the math was not for me. With that being said, I still am in awe every time I watch this movie. Even though the comparison of the technology and equipment that they had then paled severely in comparison with that of which we have today, the fact that they were able to make it back home in the movie despite all of the challenges, twists, and turns was amazing.
