Apollo 13 was supposed to land in the Fra Mauro region of the moon. Their primary assignment was to sample the boulders around Cone Crater. After one of the oxygen tanks exploded halfway to the moon, the mission became one of survival and safe return of the crew, which was accomoplished after some rather ingenious improvising by the men of mission control.

9 months after Apollo 13, Apollo 14 successfully accomplisheed all of 13's goals.
