During the Apollo 13 mission in 1970, an oxygen tank exploded aboard the spacecraft, causing a critical failure in the systems. The crew had to shut down the command module and use the lunar module as a lifeboat to return safely to Earth. The mission was considered a "successful failure" as all astronauts returned home safely despite not landing on the moon.
