Apollo 13. He was the commander on that mission (Btw Ron Howard made a very excellent movie about the whole event.)Didn't he blow up, like, rocket13 or something?
When mission control asked astronaut Jack Swigert to turn on the stirring fans in the liquid oxygen tanks, there was a loud bang. And the side of the service module blew off, and they began venting their oxygen. It's believed that there was a short in the wiring.
Here's several photos of the service module.
Anyways they had to do some pretty creative things get the three astronauts home, alive.
