Mars
Moon
Venus
Saturn
Answer
The Moon, Earth's sole natural satellite, was Jack Swigert's celestial destination during the ill-fated Apollo 13 mission in 1970. While Swigert, along with fellow astronauts Jim Lovell and Fred Haise, initially set out on a trajectory to the Moon, an oxygen tank explosion crippled their spacecraft, forcing them to abort the landing and instead loop around the Moon to return safely to Earth.
