The lunar landing and moonwalks were aborted as a dedicated team of flight controllers and engineering experts in the Apollo Mission Control Centre devoted their efforts to bring the spacecraft and its crew back home safely. Splashdown occurred in the Pacific Ocean on April 17, after a flight that lasted five days, 22 hours and 54 minutes.
