During the Apollo 13 mission, the spacecraft linked up with the Lunar Module (LM) known as "Aquarius." After an oxygen tank explosion damaged the Service Module, the Lunar Module was used as a lifeboat to provide life support and propulsion for the return journey to Earth. The successful docking and subsequent operation of the LM were critical for the safe return of the astronauts.

What was the first space mission that had people die in it?

The Soviet Union may have lost several astronauts in flight in the 1960's and early '70's. However, the Soviet Union was also very secretive about their space program; they never made any announcements until after the flight had landed. And even then, they would sometimes lie about details. The first American astronauts to die during a space mission were the crew of the Challenger space shuttle.
