What happened on Apollo 13?

Answer 1

A. Lovell, Command Module pilot John L. "Jack" Swigert, and Lunar Module pilot Fred W. Haise. It launched on April 11, 1970 at 13:13 CST. Two days after the launch, an electrical fault caused an explosion in a Service Module oxygen tank. The explosion also damaged the other oxygen tank or its Plumbing, resulting in a complete loss of the 2 oxygen tanks, as well as electrical power. The command module remained fully functional on its own batteries and oxygen tank - but they were sufficient only for the last hours of the mission during re-entry and landing. The crew shut down the Command Module and used the Lunar Module as a "lifeboat" for the return to earth. Despite great hardship caused by severely limited power, cabin heat, and potable water, the crew successfully returned to Earth and the mission eventually became known as a "successful failure", meaning that, although the crew failed to meet their objective, they had survived the trip and returned to Earth.[3] A radio transmission from Lovell[4] during the mission, "Houston, we've had a problem", spawned the misquoted phrase in popular culture, "Houston, we have a problem".

Answer 2

Apollo 13 was a NASA mission in 1970 where an oxygen tank exploded, causing the spacecraft to lose power and making it unable to land on the moon. The crew, consisting of Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert, and Fred Haise, had to improvise with the help of ground control to safely return to Earth. The incident was famously known for the phrase "Houston, we've had a problem."

Answer 3

An short circuit inside one of the oxygen tanks carried by the Service module created a spark and caused the tank to explode.
