On April 14, 1970, the crew was 400,171 kilometers (248,655 miles) from Earth. The Apollo 13 mission was the third manned mission intended to land on the moon. The original mission of Apollo 13 was to land on the lunar surface and explore the Framauro Formation. However, this primary objective was scrubbed after an explosion in the oxygen tank of the Service Module, which in turn crippled the Command Module. Limited power, a shortage of potable water, and a loss of cabin heat were just some of the glaring problems that prevented the crew from landing on the lunar surface. In order to bring the crew back to Earth safely, a team of scientists directed the astronauts to use the Moons gravity as a slingshot to return to Earth. To achieve this, the shuttle passed over the dark side of the moon at an altitude of 254 kilometers (158 miles) from the lunar surface, the farthest that humans have ever traversed into the vast expanse of the universe.\n
