Reconstruct the poem by dragging each line into its correct position. Your goal is to reassemble the original poem as accurately as possible. As you move the lines, you'll see whether your arrangement is correct, helping you explore the poem's flow and meaning. You can also print out the jumbled poem to cut up and reassemble in the classroom. Either way, take your time, enjoy the process, and discover how the poet's words come together to create something truly beautiful.

Affirmative. We're holding strong.
Aquarius cradles them with care.
Flames pierce the sky, Apollo's might,
Houston, we've had a problem here.
Houston, we're losing air up here.
Houston, progress, but dangers loom.
Suddenly alarms advance.
Houston, we're fighting for our lives.
Ocean welcomes, ending quest.
Three emerge from capsule's shell,
Copy that. Stay calm, we're near.
Ingenuity keeps hope alive.
Three men bound for lunar light.
Engineers race, solutions fly.
Okay, Houston... we're home at last.
Earth and crew - where they belong.
A story of survival to tell.
Copy that. We won't give in.
Soaring high, a celestial dance,
Re-entry burns, a fiery test,
Ground control's minds in overdrive,
Dreams of footprints, stars so bright.
Home a jewel, so far away.
Mission's fate hangs by a chance.
Power rationed, makeshift repair,
Of human spirit, tried and new.
Houston, we've had a problem.
Round the moon, so cold and grey,
Roger, Houston. Standing by.
Oxygen fades, a deathly trance,
Hearts skip a beat, time seems to freeze.
Welcome back. Ordeal has passed.
A nation prays, hopes wearing thin.
Silence. Then, "Say again, please.
Air grows thick, supplies run low,
Apollo 13, a triumph true,
Courage, men. Your family strives.
Determination's ember glows.
Understood. We'll beat this doom.
Lovell, Swigert, Haise in flight,
