The second day of Apollo 13 was much the same as the second days on Apollo 8, Apollo 10, Apollo 11 and Apollo 12 before it with the crew performing a brief television tour for audiences back on Earth of their spacecraft while coasting to the moon. Astronauts Jim Lovell and Fred Haise also powered up the Lunar Module Aquarius to check its systems before their planned Lunar landing on April 14th 1970.
Of course, mere hours after completing their television broadcast Jack Swigert was instructed to stir the hydrogen and oxygen tanks, famously causing an explosion which crippled the spacecraft and made impossible any Lunar landing.
