In April 1970, during the glory days of the Apollo space program, NASA sent Navy Captain Jim Lovell and two other astronauts on America's fifth mission to the moon. Only fifty-five hours into the flight of Apollo 13, disaster struck: a mysterious explosion rocked the ship, and soon its oxygen and power began draining away. Written with all the color and drama of the best fiction, APOLLO 13 (previously published as Lost Moon) tells the full story of the moon shot that almost ended in catastrophe. Minutes after the explosion, the three astronauts are forced to abandon the main ship for the lunar module, a tiny craft designed to keep two men alive for just two days. As the hours tick away, the narrative shifts from the crippled spacecraft to Mission Control, from engineers searching desperately for a way to fix the ship to Lovell's wife and children praying for his safe return. The entire nation watches as one crisis after another is met and overcome. By the time the ship splashes down in the Pacific, we understand why the heroic effort to rescue Lovell and his crew is considered by many to be NASA's finest hour.Now, thirty years after the launch of the mission, Jim Lovell and coauthor Jeffrey Kluger add a new preface and never-before-seen photographs to Apollo 13. In their preface, they offer an incisive look at America's waxing and waning love affair with space exploration during the past three decades, culminating only recently when the Apollo 13 spacecraft itself, long consigned to an aviation museum outside Paris, was at last returned to its rightful home in the United States. As inspiring today as it was thirty years ago, the story of Apollo 13 is a timeless tribute to the enduring American spirit and sparkling individual heroism.

Make sure you read the terms and conditions and don't let them off the hook
Asurion is counting on the fact that you don't know how to read. They made the claim process aggravating and as difficult as possible. I CAN read and had to review the terms and conditions with them on the phone and threaten to involve an attorney before they would honor the coverage. They tried to say my product was not portable, when the word "portable" is literally in the name of the product. Then they tried to say the the accidental drop was not covered, but it clearly states in the terms and conditions that an accidental drop and a cracked screen is a covered event. I buy the coverage almost every time I am offered it, but I will be rethinking that going forward and Amazon should consider finding a different company to issue the protection plans for their products because I fear this is the beginning of a lot of complaints. I have filed a claim in the past and it was very straightforward and easy, but they must have a new company managing the plans now, because it was anything but easy. If I was an older person who was not tech savy, or who just took someone's word at face value, I would be out the cost of my item and the protection plan. BUYER BEWARE

Cover yourself!
My HP printer just stopped printing. Spent over 4 1/2 with HP Support doing all kinds of technical experiments with even the most complex Factory Restarts, this printer kept saying everything was working but it wouldn't print. HP finally declared it a hardware defective; told I needed a new printer and to recycle this one (less than 1 1/2 years old - don't make like they used to!). Called Asurion, who immediately processed a claim and arranged for a pickup of the defective printer since I can't drive. Fast quality service worth every penny if you're buying any kind of devices in today's world.

Asurion is a great protection plan.
Asurion is a great product. I purchased a 3-piece cordless phones in 2022 and added the Asurion protection. Just recently the phones went out. I contacted Asurion and within 2 hours I had a gift card deposited in my Amazon account. I purchased new phones with the gift card and of course added the Asurion protection. I highly recommend Asurion protection plan.

Glad we got it! And will most definitely buy it for our future products!
Great experience! We always bought Asurion Protection on a lot of our electronics to be on the cautious side. We recently had one of those electronics give out on its 3rd year, and we luckily had purchased the Asurion Protection Plan. The claims process was easy, took less than 5 minutes. I packaged the electronic the following day and dropped it off with the shipping label they gave me. I received a full refund of my product within hours of having the returned item dropped off. I am glad we bought Asurion Protection for our other electronics, and will continue to buy it for our future products (not just electronics). Very pleased with how fast and reliable they were, and enjoying the comfort of knowing our products are protected.
