Hi Mark and all,

For those not familiar with that event, it was determined that the accide=
nt wasn't meteoroid related and that a damaged tank when stirred caused t=
he explosion rendering the service module (the
storehouse of their electrical, oxygen, and fuel for maneuvers) useless. =
The lunar module became the active vehicle and was used to bring the astr=
onauts back home. I believe that the contractor
that made the Lunar Module later sent a bill to the contractor making the=
 service module for the towing bill (this was of course a joke). There wa=
s a big level of competition between those two
contractors. Both of whom wanted to build the magnificent Apollo componen=
ts. The Movie Apollo 13 is a good one to watch on the events of that succ=
essful failure.
