Press release from St. Louis Science Center:
April 17, 2022
On this date in 1970, the Apollo 13 command module safely splashed down in the Pacific Ocean. Only 2 days into the mission, an oxygen tank failed, and the mission was cancelled midflight.
Instead of landing on the lunar surface as originally planned, the spacecraft looped around the moon and returned to Earth.
