Chapters 1–3: The story begins on July 20, 1969, when Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the Moon. Astronaut Jim Lovell is sitting at home with his family watching. His five-year-old son, Jeffrey, asks him
if he is really going to the Moon. Jim reminds him that he had been around the Moon on Apollo 8 and that he will be going to the Moon on Apollo 14. In Chapter 2, the initial plan changes when astronaut Alan Shepard develops an ear infection and Jim Lovell is asked to go in his place on Apollo 13, together with Fred Haise and Ken Mattingly. The three astronauts get inside the module simulator and they go over the procedures that will
take place in both the lunar module, Aquarius, and the command module, Odyssey, for the moonlanding. Jeffrey wants his father to bring back a Moon rock for him, and Jim promises to try. In Chapter 3, just two days before the scheduled lift-off, one of the controllers, Ken Mattingly, falls ill with the measles. He is taken off the mission. Jack Swigert replaces Mattingly. Jim Lovell is not happy about this, since he knows Jack has no experience on spacecraft.
