When an explosion crippled Apollo 13, three astronauts were stranded 200,000 miles from Earth, running out of oxygen, and facing the very real possibility that they would die in space.
No backup. No rescue. No second chances.
So how did they survive?
Not by brute strength. Not by luck. But by staying calm when panic would have killed them.
Astronauts are trained to think like they’re already dead—because in a crisis, emotions will get you killed.
This is the true story of how three men faced certain death—and made it back home. And by the end of this episode, you’ll know exactly how to train your own mind to stay calm under pressure.
