"Houston, we have a problem." This famous phrase was pronounced by the crew of the Apollo 13, which thaken off on April 11th 1970 with the aim to land on the Moon.
The 'problem' we are talking about occurred when an oxygen tank in the Serviceand Command Module exploded.


As a consequence, the astronauts were forced to cancel the landing and to return home on the Moon Module 'Aquarius', with whom they would have to touch the lunar soil.
To give the needed boost, the Apollo 13 circled the Satellite before heading home. According to the crew, the journey back was very cold and uncomfortable but, in the end, everyone survived.
