Apollo 13
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Apollo 13 was an early human spacecraft.
On 17 April, 1970, Apollo 13 safely returned to Earth after an oxygen tank exploded mid-flight, and created a shortage of heat, power and water, which forced the crew to carry out ingenious makeshift repairs. (PROSE: Time Traveller's Diary)
Apollo 13 was described by the Fourth Doctor as "real skin-of-your-teeth-stuff." He referred to Jim Lovell as the "hero of Apollo 13." (PROSE: Three Wise Men)
