The first problem encountered during the Apollo 13 mission was an explosion in one of the service module's oxygen tanks, which occurred on April 13, 1970, just two days after launch. This explosion severely damaged the spacecraft's systems and led to a loss of electrical power and life support capabilities. The crew and mission control had to quickly devise a plan to conserve resources and safely return to Earth, making it a critical moment in the mission's history.
"Houston, we have a problem" was said during the Apollo 13 mission in 1970. This phrase was actually slightly misquoted from the actual communication, which was "Houston, we've had a problem."
Apollo 7. Apollo 1 was to have been the first manned mission, but a fire during training killed all three astronauts in the capsule that should have taken them on the first mission.
Jim Lovell famously reported, "Houston, we have a problem" during the Apollo 13 mission. The problem was an oxygen tank explosion that disabled the spacecraft and put the crew in danger.
Apollo 13 experienced a critical failure during its journey to the moon in 1970, when an oxygen tank exploded. The crew successfully aborted the mission and returned safely to Earth, showcasing NASA's ability to adapt and problem-solve in emergencies.
During the takeoff of Apollo 13, the Saturn V rocket's S-II stage experienced a problem with one of its five J-2 engines. Specifically, the J-2 engine number 2 failed to function properly, leading to a loss of thrust during the second stage of the launch. However, the Apollo 13 mission proceeded with the remaining engines and successfully reached space, despite the subsequent challenges faced during the mission.

Nobody died during the Apollo 13 mission
Astronaut Ted Freeman died in an aircraft accident during training for the Apollo program, but no Apollo mission ever sank. The Apollo program saw successful manned missions to the Moon between 1969 and 1972.
During the Apollo 11 mission, the main problem that occurred was when the onboard computer overloaded during descent to the lunar surface, prompting the astronauts to take manual control to safely land the lunar module. Additionally, there were issues with radio communications and a fuel leak during the mission.
During the Apollo mission a total of 12 astronauts walked on the moon. On each trip to the moon 2 astronauts walked on the moon.
According to the Planetarium's website, the sample was collected on the Apollo 15 mission.
The Apollo 11 mission took the first earth visitors to our moon in 1969.
The Omega watch, Speedmaster, is used by the astronauts of the Apollo 11 during its mission to the moon.
Apollo 1 is the official name that was later given to the never-flown AS-204 mission. Its command module was destroyed by fire killing the 3 astronauts aboard during a test and training exercise on January 27, 1967 AS-203, and umanned flight of the Saturn 1B rocket, is sometimes called Apollo 2. AS-202, a suborbital flight is sometimes called Apollo 3. However, the first official Apollo flight to fly was Apollo 4, the first flight of the Saturn V rocket. Apollo 4 was unmanned. The first manned Apollo flight was Apollo 7, an 11 day low earth orbit mission.
