Theme: ''When things are not as they seem to be within the church''
When Apollo 13 astronauts Jim Lovell and John Swigert famously said ''Houston, we've had a problem,'' the mission's troubles were just beginning.

It was on the third day of a week-long mission to the moon, some 205,000 miles from Earth, that disaster struck. ''Houston, we've had a problem here.''
The Apollo 13 mission was supposed to be the third lunar landing in American history, but it failed when one of the oxygen tanks aboard the spaceship called Odyssey exploded. It had only launched two days prior on April 11, 1970.
