Haise, Lovell, and Swigert set the record for the farthest distance from Earth ever traveled by human beings during the Apollo 13 mission. That record stood until the Artemis II lunar flyby in 2026.
An oxygen tank failure during the Apollo 13 mission in 1970 forced the crew to abort the lunar landing and return to Earth. Haise had been slated to become the sixth person to walk on the Moon, but the emergency ended that possibility.
