Apollo 13 was called a failure because of the accident they encountered halfway there. An oxygen tank exploded during a chryo-stir and it caused them to lose power and breathing air, and endangered the lives of the astronauts thus making a moon landing out of the question. It was considered a successful failure because all 3 astronauts survived the accident and made it safely back to earth.
Apollo 13 was not successful in completing its original mission to land on the moon. However, it was considered a successful failure because the crew were safely returned to Earth despite facing a life-threatening situation.
The Apollo 13 mission is often referred to as a "successful failure" by NASA. Despite the mission not achieving its objective of landing on the moon due to an oxygen tank explosion, the safe return of the crew showcased the ingenuity and teamwork of NASA engineers and astronauts.
There were no casualties on Apollo 13. So there were 3 survivors, which was everybody on the spacecraft.
Apollo 13's nickname was "The Successful Failure" because it did not achieve its original objective of landing on the moon due to an oxygen tank explosion, but the crew successfully returned to Earth despite the dangerous situation.
During the Apollo 13 mission in 1970, an oxygen tank exploded aboard the spacecraft, causing a critical failure in the systems. The crew had to shut down the command module and use the lunar module as a lifeboat to return safely to Earth. The mission was considered a "successful failure" as all astronauts returned home safely despite not landing on the moon.
I think it was the Apollo 1 because there have been more than 1 Apollo there have been about 17 Apollo's and Apollo 13 was called the successful failure
Apollo 13.

Apollo 13 was a failure because of the explosion of the oxygen tanks and how it damaged the electrical systems. Even though Apollo 13 was a failed mission to the moon, it was all though a success that they all worked together to bring them safely back home.
That failure is not an option!
