48 years ago today. And it was on a Friday! Don't get on any spacecraft today . . .

The number 13 had a bad reputation long before 1970, but it only got worse on April 13 of that year. Just eight months earlier, Neil Armstrong set foot on the moon. Apollo 12 had a successful mission to the moon in November. But Apollo 13 had that number. Lift off two days earlier was at 1:13 PM, or 13:13 in military time. Apollo 13 commander Jim Lovell noticed the coincidence of the time, but he is not a superstitious man. Besides, lift-off was on April 11th. He, Jack Swigert, and Fred Haise were on their way to the moon to explore the Fra Mauro highlands and bring back moon samples.

On the 13th, two days into the flight, there was a loud bang. Lovell and Swigert looked at Haise, who had startled the crew members before by actuating a lunar module relief valve. But this was no prank. A liquid oxygen tank had exploded, which blew out the side of the service module. Power went down. Oxygen leaked out.

Swigert and Lovell radioed Mission Control with those understated words, "Houston, we've had a problem." The crew at Mission Control who had complained of boredom over the previous two days would never do so again. The original mission was aborted; the new mission was to get the three crewmen back to earth alive. Flight director Gene Kranz and his team hunkered down to figure out how to stretch the spaceship's available resources. MORE HERE: http://mentalfloss.com/article/24441/fo ... -apollo-13
