Apollo 13: Deadly DIY in space
Nasa is in a race against time to save Apollo 13's astronauts. Their best minds need to improvise fast to create an air filter using only basic items available in the spacecraft - bits of towel, duct tape, cardboard and spacesuit. Not following mission control's instructions correctly, or taking too long, will cost the astronauts their lives.
