Did NASA build Apollo 13?

NASA did not build Apollo 13. Apollo 13 was one of NASA's manned space missions in the Apollo program, where astronauts James Lovell, John Swigert, and Fred Haise were aboard. NASA-built contractors, like North American Aviation, Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation, and Boeing, constructed the components of the Apollo spacecraft, which included the command module, service module, and lunar module used in the mission.


Which layer of the atmosphere is the highest than airplane can fly?

Airplanes typically fly in the lower part of the stratosphere, which extends from about 10 kilometers (6 miles) to around 50 kilometers (31 miles) above sea level. The highest commercial flights generally reach altitudes of about 12 to 13 kilometers (around 39,000 to 43,000 feet), well within the stratosphere. Above the stratosphere lies the mesosphere, where altitudes exceed those typically flown by commercial aircraft.


How long it took to build Apollo 13?

The construction of the Apollo 13 spacecraft took about three years from design to completion. The actual assembly of the spacecraft took several months, involving various components built by different contractors coming together at the Kennedy Space Center.


How long did itn take to build the international space station?

The International Space Station took approximately 10 years to build, starting in 1998 and reaching completion in 2011. It involved contributions from multiple countries and required more than 40 missions to assemble the various modules and components in space.


How much did Apollo 13 cost to build?

The Apollo 13 mission, which was launched in April 1970, had an estimated total cost of about $175 million at the time. This figure includes not only the cost of building the spacecraft but also the expenses associated with the mission's planning, development, and execution. When adjusted for inflation, this amount would be significantly higher in today's dollars. Apollo 13 is often remembered more for its successful crisis management than for its budget.
