All of the astronauts who were aboard Apollo 13 survived their crisis in space.
Jim Lovell announced that Apollo 13 was to be his final flight even before the mission got off the ground, so he never flew in space again.
Fred Haise also never flew in space again; however, he did pilot the experimental space shuttle Enterprise on five separate occasions. This shuttle was designed solely to test its aerodynamic and structural performance during approach and landing, which was executed by dropping the shuttle from a modified Boeing 747 from around 50,000 feet.
Jack Swigert left NASA after Apollo 13 and ran for Congress in the state of Colorado; however, he died of cancer shortly after he was elected and was never sworn into office.
One of the original astronuats of Apollo 13, Ken Mattingly, was able to fly as command module pilot on Apollo 16 and participated in two space shuttle missions. He was cut from 13 when it was discovered he could have potentially contracted the measles from fellow astronaut Charlie Duke. He ultimatly did not contract the illness.
Lovell and Haise continue to contribute to Documentary Films that cover their era in spaceflight. Lovell is arguably one of the most famous astronauts of the Apollo era besides Buzz Aldrin and Neil Armstrong. He also is recognized as possessing the most experience of any of the Gemini-Apollo astronauts, as he flew on Gemini 7, Apollo 8, and Apollo 13.
