The problem on Apollo 13 was a damaged oxygen tank that caused an explosion, leading to a loss of power and water supply. This resulted in the mission being aborted, with the focus shifting to safely bringing the crew back to Earth.
"Houston, we have a problem" was said during the Apollo 13 mission in 1970. This phrase was actually slightly misquoted from the actual communication, which was "Houston, we've had a problem."
The Apollo 13 spacecraft was approximately 36.2 feet tall.
Apollo 13 found out there was a problem on April 13, 1970, while they were en route to the Moon. An oxygen tank exploded on board, causing a critical power loss and life-threatening situation for the crew.
Jim Lovell famously reported, "Houston, we have a problem" during the Apollo 13 mission. The problem was an oxygen tank explosion that disabled the spacecraft and put the crew in danger.
It was actually astronaut Jack Swigert who relayed the famous message "Houston, we've had a problem" to Mission Control on the Apollo 13 mission. This phrase was slightly altered in the movie "Apollo 13" to "Houston, we have a problem."

The problem encountered by Apollo 13 was an oxygen tank explosion that caused a loss of electrical power, cabin heat, and potable water, putting the crew in danger. This forced the mission to be aborted and the crew to use the lunar module as a lifeboat to survive their return to Earth.
The oxygen tank exploded two days after launch
