Apollo 13 is a historical drama film based on the real-life events of the Apollo 13 space mission that took place in 1970. It blends elements of action, adventure, and suspense while staying true to the actual events that unfolded during the mission.
Apollo l3 never landed on the moon- so it turned around midway in trajectory. the craft was seriously damaged by some type of explosion on the ( thankfully unmanned) service module. The Base station could refer to Mission Control in Houston, Texas, hence the alternate title- Houston, We Have a Problem- Not THAT Houston!
No, Apollo missions used capsules launched atop Saturn V rockets to reach the Moon. Space shuttles were a different type of spacecraft used by NASA for various missions such as deploying satellites and building the International Space Station.
Apollo 10 was the fourth manned mission in the American Apollo space program. It was an F type mission---its purpose was to be a "dry run" for the Apollo 11 mission, testing all of the procedures and components of a Moon landing without actually landing on the Moon itself. The mission included the second crew to orbit the Moon and an all-up test of the lunar module (LM) in lunar orbit. The LM came to within 8.4 nmi (15.6 km) of the lunar surface during practice maneuvers.

The type of rocket that launced Apollo 11 into space is the same type of rocket that was used for all Apollo launchings. The Saturn V (five) multistage rocket was used.
The Saturn V
Apollo 11 was a mission, Saturn V was a rocket. The Apollo 11 mission was the first Apollo mission to land man on the moon, it use a Saturn V rocket to take off from earth and get in to orbit.
There are currently only two main types of space ships that people use. One is a small capsule that holds just a few people, such as those used in the Apollo and Gemini programs. These are used only once. The other type is a reusable craft that has wings and can carry more cargo, such as the space shuttle.
The Apollo 11 mission was a race with the U.S.S.R to land the first man on the moon, and fill John Kennedy target of landing a man on the moon and bringing him back safely to earth. they did it in 1969 July.
