Original Answer:
During the Apollo 13 mission to the mon, just as the astronauts were about to separate from the command nodule there was a blast , and the trip to the moon was abandoned and the three astronauts Jim Lovell , jack Swigert and Fred Haise had to use the lunar module to return to earth. So Jim Lovell is the only man in history to twice reach the moon and still not to walk on it sadly.
Improved Answer:
The above answer is pretty good. Except that the explosion did not occur as any separation activity was occurring or about to occur. The mission had not even reached lunar orbit. The crew had just finished a routine television broadcast (that was not aired) when NASA asked the crew to stir the oxygen tanks. This is a routine task to keep the gas from freezing and stratifying in the tanks. During the stir, a wire sparked, and an explosion occurred.
Gemini, Apollo, and Shuttle used fuel cells for power. These devices combine oxygen and hydrogen to produce electricity, and the byproduct is water that is safe to drink. Without Oxygen to supply the fuel cells, the Apollo Command/Service module quickly lost power., and any source of sustained water for the astronauts.
This meant that the three astronauts had to use the two man lunar module as a lifeboat for a slingshot trip around the moon. The commend module could not be jettisoned as it had the only heat shield to get them back to earth.
