1. Houston, We Have a Problem Two days after the liftoff of Apollo 13, James Lovell, John Swigert, and Fred Haise were enjoying a smooth ride, but they had not yet landed on the moon. Suddenly, disaster struck: An oxygen tank exploded, seriously damaging the service module. Clouds of oxygen vented into space, leaving the crew with only the smaller lunar module’s oxygen stores. The situation was dire: The spacecraft's supply of electricity, light, and water was lost, an the astronauts were 200,000 miles from Earth – with no sure method for getting home.

2. To survive the mission, they quickly retreated to the lunar module and shut down all non-critical systems in the command module. But the lunar module was designed to support only the two men for two days, not three men for four days. Could they last until they fired up the command module for reentry into the Earth’s atmosphere?

3. Within a day, carbon dioxide levels were rising dangerously, as the filters in the lunar module were different from those on the command module. So they improvised – with Mission control’s direction, the crew fashioned their own filters using plastic bags, duct tape, and socks.

So they improvised – with Mission control’s direction, the crew fashioned their own filters using plastic bags, duct tape, and socks. To make the most of their limited supplies, the crew cut back severely on water and food, losing a combined 31 pounds.

4. Meanwhile, on the ground in Houston, Texas, Mission Control rushed to devise a plan for reentry. They successfully directed Lovell to use the sun to align the spacecraft, and the module and its crew returned safely to Earth on April 17, 1970.
