Well, The crew that was supposed to go on Apollo 13 was Alan Sheppard's crew, but he got an ongoing ear infection so he and his crew got bumped. Afterwards, Jim Lovell and his crew (Fred Haise, and Ken Mattingly) were assigned for the Apollo 13 mission, but because the doctors thought Ken Mattingly was going to have the measles, he got bumped from the mission and was replaced with Jack Swigert. Hope this helps! :)
The astronaut who did not fly on Apollo 13 was Ken Mattingly. He was originally part of the Apollo 13 crew but was replaced by Jack Swigert after being exposed to German measles.
No, Jack Swigert did not fly into space after Apollo 13. He was originally supposed to be the command module pilot for Apollo 13 but was replaced by Ken Mattingly due to concerns about Swigert's exposure to German measles. Swigert did not fly in space again and passed away in 1982.
what mercury astronaut was supposed to fly on the apollo 13
Alan Shepard and his crew was supposed to fly Apollo 13, but he got an ear infection close to the launch, so the crew of Apollo 14 were moved up a place allowing Alan Shepard to fly Apollo 14. The reason the whole crew switched was because they trained with each other and were put together to compliment each others skills.
Because they aborted the landing after the oxygen tank of the craft exploded. They also were ment to fly with apollo 18

Apollo 13
yes there was a Apollo 13 , it followed Apollo 12.
Jim Lovell was bumped from the Apollo 14 mission to serve as the backup commander for Apollo 13 due to a medical issue involving the original commander, Alan Shepard. Shepard developed an inner ear condition that affected his ability to fly in space, so Lovell took his place on the Apollo 13 mission alongside Fred Haise and Jack Swigert.
Astronaut Jack Swigert got sick on Apollo 13 with a urinary tract infection shortly before launch, but he recovered in time to fly the mission.
Apollo 13 launched April 13, >1952<1999
