Correction at "Masses" in Description

"Depiction in Film and Television".

ALSO this is incorrect
[edit]"One lunar module functioned as a lifeboat for the crew of Apollo 13, providing life support and propulsion when their CSM was disabled by an oxygen tank explosion en route to the Moon, forcing the crew to abandon plans for landing."
The astronauts on A13 survived in the Service Module, not the LEM, which had not been deployed and which was abandoned in interplanetary space. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.206.79.247 (talk) 13:03, 26 June 2021 (UTC) .
- It is correct. The LM was used as a lifeboat from just after the explosion until just before reentry, when it was abandoned. BilCat (talk) 22:16, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
- The Service Module was stuffed to the brim with propellant and life support equipment. There was absolutely no place inside for human being. And since the Apollo 13 accident was due to an explosion in the Service Module, I personally wouldn't have trusted it any further than I can hurl my mother in-law. The LM was the only thing which made it possible for the crew to survive. This must be one of the most curiously misinformed accounts I've ever read— Preceding unsigned comment added by 73.102.143.101 (talk)
