Apollo 13

The name of the LEM (Lunar excursion model) was Aquarius (:

During the takeoff of Apollo 13, the Saturn V rocket's S-II stage experienced a problem with one of its five J-2 engines. Specifically, the J-2 engine number 2 failed to function properly, leading to a loss of thrust during the second stage of the launch. However, the Apollo 13 mission proceeded with the remaining engines and successfully reached space, despite the subsequent challenges faced during the mission.

No. One crew member was replaced because of measles.

The life-threatening problem that developed in Apollo 13 was a critical malfunction in the spacecraft's oxygen system. An oxygen tank exploded, resulting in a loss of both oxygen and electrical power, severely jeopardizing the crew's ability to breathe and function. This incident forced mission control and the astronauts to quickly devise a plan to conserve resources and safely return to Earth, using the Lunar Module as a lifeboat. The incident highlighted the importance of teamwork and problem-solving under extreme pressure.

In short, they didn't fix it. The problem they had was an oxygen tank ruptured in the service module. What they did was to use the attached lunar module as a "life boat" - using its oxygen supplies.

Apollo 13 was planned to explore the Fra Mauro highlands, named after the 80-kilometer-diameter Fra Mauro crater located within it.

Apollo 14 instead did this mission.

The antagonist in Apollo 13 is the vastness of space.

He had the measles but later found out he didn't.

The Apollo 13 problem was primarily a critical oxygen tank explosion that jeopardized the mission. The solution involved quick thinking and collaboration among NASA engineers and the astronauts. They devised a series of improvised measures to conserve power, manage carbon dioxide levels, and navigate back to Earth safely. Ultimately, the crew successfully returned home by following a carefully calculated trajectory and using the Lunar Module as a lifeboat.

Yes. Apollo 11, 12, 14, 15, 16 and 17 all successfully made it to the moon. Only Apollo 13 was forced to return to Earth.

In the broadest terms, on the moon.

No. Apollo 13 was a mission by the American space program, NASA, (National Aeronautics and Space Administration.) The mission, however was a disaster, almost killing 3 brave astronauts by the burst of oxygen tank number 2.

you face the thought of not coming home

The same rocket design that launched Apollo 2-17. Apollo 1 was just a unfueled test for the astronauts. (The command module caught on fire, perishing the men.)

The name of the rocket is Saturn V. If you go to any search engine, go to images and type in, Saturn V. You will see many pictures of it. It was a rather simple rocket.

If you're refering to the movie, it's a documentary of the Apollo 13 mission in 1970.

because my mom ate a salad for the first time and that made the challenger explode and thats how babies are born

Launch Complex 39, Kennedy Space Center, Florida. Most Apollo launches occurred from LC-39A, with Apollo 10 launching from LC-39B

The primary spacecraft for the Apollo 13 mission was called "Odyssey."

All of the Apollo capsules were designed to land in the ocean. They did this for two reasons. The first is that by not carrying fuel and rocket motors to facilitate a controlled descent over land they could bring back additional payload in the form of lunar samples. Secondly, by designing to land in the water they did not have to worry about a descent engine failing and dooming the crew. Since it was designed to land in water, the only device that had to operate in order to land successfully was the the parachute system. Once the chutes were deployed there was little danger of catastrophic mission failure.

It failed in its original mission, which was the moon landing, but it succeeded in getting the astronauts home safely because of the vision of Mission Control and the competence of both the astronauts in the crippled ship and the support teams in Mission Control and in the back room.
