		To be sure, the Apollo 11 and 12 collections contained significant numbers of small rock fragments which differed markedly in composition from the bulk of the mare-derived materials; and there was every reason to believe that many of these "exotic" fragments represented ejecta from impacts in the distant highlands.

	Apollo 13 Lunar Journal : Mission Summary
		There had been only a few minor glitches in the early stage of the mission and, through the first two days and into the early part of the third, the flight seemed to be defying the worst fears of those prone to an habitual state of nervous anticipation with regard to the number 13.
		There was, of course, a fix; and it came in the form of an ingenious combination of suit hoses, cardboard, plastic stowage bags, and CSM canisters - all held together with a liberal application of gray duct tape.
		Each of the tanks contained a stirring fan, a heating element, and a temperature-sensitive switch designed to shut everything off if the element got hotter than about 25 degrees centigrade (80 F) and none of these components was ever re-designed to accommodate the higher voltage.

		In comparision Apollo 13, by leaving the free-return trajectory, would return to the vicinity of the Earth, the closest approach would be around 40,000 miles.
