AI overview
Apollo 13 was a 1970 Moon mission that experienced a critical oxygen tank explosion two days after launch, forcing the crew to abandon their landing plans and use the lunar module's backup systems to survive the journey around the Moon and return home safely. The mission matters because it demonstrated how astronauts and ground control could work together to overcome a life-threatening crisis in space, turning a potential disaster into a successful recovery.
