In the movie Apollo 13 three astronauts go up to space in the space craft odyssey and encounter many problems. The astronauts, Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert and Fred Haise were on a rushed mission to go to the moon when Jack went to go stir the oxygen tanks and one of them exploded. The explosion led to a whole host of problems. The astronauts had to abort the mission and focus on a safe return home. A monomyth plotline is when a person leaves a place, encounters obstacles and comes back a different person. This essay will explain how Apollo 13 follows the monomyth plotline.
The movie Apollo 13 follows the monomyth plotline accurately. The first major obstacle the Apollo 13 crew encounters was when Nasa was rushing the mission. The first reason this obstacle complicates the plot of the movie is that the crew was not prepared. The space crew Jack Swigert, Fred Haise and Jim Lovell were not prepared to go up into space and especially not Jack. Jack was not supposed to go up into space. Ken Mattingly was originally the one going with the other two astronauts, Jim and Fred, but he had the measles virus in his blood stream so he could not go.
Jack Swigert was the one that took his place but Jack only had one day to prepare so out of the three astronauts Jack was the least prepared astronaut going up into space. The second reason this obstacle complicates the plot of the movie is that the crew was not prepared. The crew could have spent more time checking over the space craft odyssey better and could have done diagnostic testing and analyses to make sure the space craft odyssey was fully ready to go up into space but they rushed the mission too much and ran into problems.
The Essay on Benefits Of Nasa Space Exploration Astronauts
Since the beginning of time there have always been those that have opposed exploration of uncharted lands. This statement holds truth also for the NASA program since the beginning when President John F. Kennedy's vision was to 'land a man on the moon by the end of the decade.' Instead of all the opposition of NASA and questions such as, "Why should we go to space?" I believe people should ask ...
They should have spent a few extra day to fully get Jack ready so he would have had the same understanding as the other two astronauts Jim and Fred. The third and final reason this obstacle complicates the plot of the movie is that the crew was cutting corners just to prove that they are number one, and to get the space craft odyssey and the astronauts into space by April 11th or the mission would not happen.
The Nasa Ground Control and the astronauts Jim, Jack and Fred could have did more testing and could have took their time to look over and inspect the space craft odyssey instead of just cutting corners just so that they could launch the space craft odyssey on the day they planed which was April. 11th 1970. In conclusion, this obstacle greatly complicates the plot and makes events difficult for the crew members of the Apollo 13 and Nasa Ground Control. The movie Apollo 13 follows the monomyth plotline accurately.
The first major obstacle the Apollo 13 crew encounters was when the oxygen tank exploded. The first reason this obstacle complicates the plot of the movie is that there was trouble inside the space craft odyssey and they could not go outside. Jack Swigert, Fred Haise and Jim Lovell were inside the space craft odyssey up in space when the Nasa Ground Control asked Jack to stir the oxygen tanks and when he did the number two oxygen tank exploded which meant they would not have enough oxygen to land on the Moon and make it back.
The carbon dioxide that the three astronauts are breathing out into the space craft is poisonous to breathe in. Since the number two oxygen tank exploded the oxygen was running out and soon there would be no more oxygen going into the space craft odyssey and there would just be carbon dioxide inside the space craft odyssey so the astronauts would die. So instead of worrying about landing on the moon the space crew Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert and Fred Haise had to worry more about getting home in time before the oxygen runs out and they die.
The Essay on Odyssey And Joseph
Odyssey and Joseph Within the conceptual framework of this research, we will elaborate on two epic heroes and affect of their cultures. Throughout the novel, Odyssey is tested to see if his strength is truly heroic. He shipwrecks, starves and is weather beaten; but Odyssey always remains strong, like a hero should. At many points he is tempted to give up, but the one constant is his strength. ...
The second reason this obstacle complicates the plot of the movie is that they were alone in space and they had no one to physically help them but they did have radio contact with the Nasa Ground Control which told them step by step on how to make a filter using only the things that they had inside the space craft odyssey to filter out the carbon dioxide and filter in oxygen for them to breath. This filter did work successfully and the carbon dioxide was filtrated into oxygen for the three astronauts to breathe in.
The third and final reason this obstacle complicated the plot in the movie is that on top of all the problems the three astronauts Jim, Jack and Fred had they were extremely stressed and could not think clearly. It was hard for the astronauts to concentrate on fixing the problem because they were so worried about if they were going to make it home alive or not. In conclusion, this obstacle greatly complicates the plot and makes events difficult for the crew members of the Apollo 13 and Nasa Ground Control.
The movie Apollo 13 follows the monomyth plotline accurately. The first major obstacle the Apollo 13 crew encounters was when the crew found out from the Nasa Ground Control that they had to go all the way around the moon instead of just turning around. The first reason this obstacle complicates the plot of the movie is that when they go around the three astronauts Jim, Jack and Fred lose radio contact with the Nasa Ground Control. This means if the astronauts have a
problem when they are on the dark side of the moon they will have no way of reaching the Nasa Ground Control, so this leads to another problem that the astronauts will have to deal with. Going around the moon is good in some ways and bad in others. Going around the moon will give you a faster head back to Earth because it is like a sling shot. The second reason this obstacle complicates the plot of the movie is that when the astronauts go around the dark side of the moon it will be very dark for them and very cold.
The astronauts have to shut off all the power to save electricity, so they can’t have the heat on. All they can use is their body heat and layers of clothes to stay warm. In the space craft odyssey it was so cold that there was frost on the windows. The third and final reason this obstacle complicates the plot of the movie is that the three astronauts Jim, Fred and Jack are worried if they will return home or not. There are so many problems going on and everything is getting worse, the astronauts doubt if they will make it home. Fred, one of the three astronauts, got sick.

It was 10 times worse for him than any of the other astronauts. Everything that could possibly go wrong went wrong on this mission but in the end the three astronauts of Apollo 13 Jim Lovell, Fred Haise and Jack Swigert did make it back to Earth safely. In conclusion, this obstacle greatly complicates the plot and makes events difficult for the crew members of the Apollo 13 and Nasa Ground Control. In conclusion: Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert, and Fred Haise are three astronauts that go on the Apollo 13 space craft for a mission to the moon.
On the way to the moon they encountered many problems, and unfortunate events. Such as oxygen tanks exploding, carbon dioxide levels rising, and the fact that they may not make it back home. Eventually after solving their problems the three astronauts made it back to Earth safely. A monomyth plotline is where characters go on a journey, encounter obstacles, and come home changed. Apollo 13 is an example of a monomyth plotline because Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert and Fred Haise go on a journey to the moon but encounter many obstacles and come back as changed men.
