A couple of oxygen tanks in the service module blew up en route to the Moon, and the crew had to use the lunar module to go around the Moon and go back to the Earth, where they made a safe splash down in the Pacific Ocean. They could not instantly go back to the Earth, after the tanks exploded. They had to go to the Moon and back. They did not have enough fuel on board the service module to fire the engine and return to the Earth. The oxygen tanks exploded because of a mechanical error. It was very rough going from the time the tanks blew up, until they safely landed in the ocean.
