Apollo 13 was an American expedition to the moon, part of the Apollo program. The expedition was to be the third landing on the moon, but an explosion in one of the oxygen tanks meant that the lunar landing had to be interrupted. Instead, the ground crews and astronauts had to create improvised solutions to survive while the spacecraft was on its way back to Earth. An entire world followed when the space capsule landed in the Pacific Ocean on April 17, 1970 with the astronauts in good condition.
