Apollo 13 left for its mission on April 13, 1970. There was an explosion early on in the mission that crippled its service. After 90 hours in space, Apollo 13 was returned to Earth with all 3 astronauts unharmed, on April 17, 1970. This amazing rescue mission was considered a miracle by many, and what Gene Kranz, NASA's Flight Director, called their "finest hour." He is also known to have said "Failure is not an Option."
