Space can be very hard on many people
Since the Russians launched a ball into space, they could surely launch a nuclear weapon from Moscow to the US in no time at all. pg-15
It can be hard on families
Families could lose a family member that is an astronaut. This is evident throughout the whole book, because the astronauts are always in danger.
People in families are loaded with interviews and it can be very hard on them, especially if they are shy. pg-1-6
It can be dangerous for the astronauts.
Anything could happen to the spacecraft, from electronical issues to something hitting the spacecraft to resources running out to crashing into a planet or even losing connection with NASA.
The astronauts realize that they might never see their family, friends, children, or even walk on planet Earth ever again.

Short sentences
Makes easier to get a lot of information at once
No descriptive words
Since there are already a lot more hard words to understand like mathematical terms and numbers, complicated words would be just too much.
This relates because both of them are making it easier for the reader to understand and remember.
Themes, motivations, and conflicts
Motivations
After accident: They just wanted to get home and live.
Before accident: They were gong to be the fifth people on the moon.
Themes
That everything has its glitch, and that mostly those problems can be surpassed.
Conflicts
One of the engines failed, which caused some bad things to happen and fuel tanks and oxygen tanks to empty.
They realized that the problem was not just a minor problem, like not landing on the moon, it was a problem that actually put their lives in danger.
