Apollo 13, launched on April 11, 1970, was the third crewed mission intended to land on the Moon. The mission's crew consisted of commander Jim Lovell, command module pilot Jack Swigert, and lunar module pilot Fred Haise. Shortly after launch, an oxygen tank in the service module exploded, jeopardizing the mission and forcing the crew to abort the lunar landing. The astronauts demonstrated remarkable ingenuity and teamwork to safely return to Earth despite the critical challenges they faced.
