The Apollo 13 mission, launched on April 11, 1970, aimed to land on the Moon, but it faced a critical emergency when an oxygen tank exploded two days into the flight. This explosion crippled the spacecraft's service module and forced the crew to abort their lunar landing. Astronauts Jim Lovell, Jack Swigert, and Fred Haise used the Lunar Module as a lifeboat to conserve resources and navigate back to Earth. Despite the life-threatening situation, the crew successfully returned home on April 17, 1970, thanks to the ingenuity of both the astronauts and mission control.
The Apollo space missions are numbered from Apollo 7 to 17.
Apollo 18 was a canceled mission that was originally part of the Apollo program by NASA. It was planned to follow the successful Apollo 17 mission but was later scrapped due to budget constraints and changes in goals for the space program. No crewed missions were conducted after Apollo 17, making it the final mission of the Apollo program.
The final Apollo mission was Apollo 17, which took place in December 1972. Astronauts Eugene Cernan, Harrison Schmitt, and Ronald Evans were part of this mission. They completed three moonwalks and returned safely to Earth, marking the end of the Apollo program.
No Apollo mission had any casualties. The Apollo 1 Fire was during testing, not a mission. The Apollo 13 explosion was tough... but no one died.
Apollo 1 was the first manned mission in the Apollo program, launched in February 21, 1967. It never reached space.The first Apollo mission to actually reach space was the Apollo 7 mission.
