Where did the Apollo 13 spacecraft land?
Back on Earth, near American Samoa, six days after being launched on April 11, 1970. The Apollo 13 service module suffered a catastrophic explosion that left the vehicle nearly crippled, and the crew had to jury-rig the systems from the Lunar Module to enable them to survive. The craft reached the Moon, looped around it, and returned to Earth. It was the only one of the 7 lunar landing missions (Apollo 11 to 17) that did not explore the Moon as planned.
