The Apollo 13 mission launched from Earth with three astronauts aboard but experienced an oxygen tank explosion, forcing NASA to abort the planned moon landing. Engineers and the crew worked together in a crisis to fix the damaged spacecraft and guide Apollo 13 safely back to Earth in an emergency return. The near-disaster of Apollo 13 has been remembered as an important event in the US space program and was later depicted in a popular film starring Tom Hanks.
