Campaign Timeline
- The Russian N-1 multistage booster designed to send its own mission to Luna explodes during a launch attempt the Bakinour Cosmodrome. It almost completely destroys its launch facility in the process. Other attempts to launch the massive rocket end in similar catastrophe. The Russian government eventually puts an end to any further attempts to put their own man on the moon.[1]
- Apollo 13 experiences a catastrophic explosion en-route to the moon that cripples the spacecraft and threatens the lives of its crew. They are forced to scrub their lunar landing and return home as quickly as possible before their damaged life support systems fail completely. The saga of their journey and the efforts of NASA Mission Control to ensure their safe return will become one of the legends of the early Terran space program.[1]
