APOLLO 13
(Apollo 13 Crew of Lovell, Swigert, Haise - source: Wikipedia)
NASA's worst nightmare turned into one of the space agency's most heroic moments in 1970, when the Apollo 13 crew was forced to hobble home in a disabled capsule after an explosion seriously damaged the moon-bound spacecraft. The Apollo 13 crew and Houston-based mission controllers raced against time and heavy odds to return the damaged spacecraft safely to Earth from a distance of 205,500 miles. --Jeff Shannon
