The mini-series "From the Earth to the Moon" detailed the missions of the Apollo spacecraft, specifically focusing on the Apollo program that aimed to send astronauts to the Moon.
Apollo 1, but the first Apollo to be launched was Apollo 7, a three man spacecraft.
Apollo 8 did not blow up. Apollo 8 was the first manned spacecraft to orbit the moon. It returned to the Earth safely. Apollo 13 is the spacecraft that had an explosion while traveling to the moon.
The command module was the only part of the Apollo spacecraft to return to Earth. It was designed to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere, withstand the heat of re-entry, and splash down safely in the ocean.
The accident on Apollo 13 was caused by an explosion in the spacecraft's oxygen tank. This explosion damaged the Service Module and led to a critical loss of power and life support systems. The crew had to navigate a safe return to Earth using the Lunar Module as a lifeboat.

The Apollo spacecraft traveled at speeds of about 25,000 miles per hour (40,000 km/h) to reach the Moon and during its return journey to Earth.
Apollo 7, Apollo 9, and Apollo 10 did not land on the moon. Apollo 7 was the first crewed mission in the program, testing the spacecraft in Earth orbit. Apollo 9 tested lunar module systems in Earth orbit. Apollo 10 performed a dress rehearsal for the moon landing, orbiting the moon but not landing.
The Apollo spacecraft took 3 days to travel from the Earth to the moon.
The Apollo Spacecraft and the three astronauts returned to earth , after the spacecraft splashed into the Pacific ocean.
