- "Houston, We've Had a Problem" is a NASA/Government Printing Office
- non-technical account of the Apollo 13 accident. It is about a ten
- page magazine-sized booklet.
-
- I only know of one other "book" about the accident, that being
- "13: The Flight That Failed". I think the author was Henry S.F. Cooper,
- but I can't swear to it.
