It was to be the third manned mission to the moon but they never made it. About half way into their flight, there was an explosion in one of the oxygen tanks in the service module resulting from a faulty coil used in a chryo stir. They lost most of their oxygen and electrical power and it almost killed all 3 astronauts. They looped around the moon and came back to earth using the lunar lander's life support systems since the service module was severely damaged.
