The main idea was that Apollo 13 had many problems with many deadlines, all of which had to be solved - or the crew could've died.

For example - for the Command Module to survive re-entry, they had to shut it down before it's 3 batteries were used up. There was the problem trying to get the CM's oxygen scrubbers to fit with the LM's environmental system. There was another problem of simply getting the crew back *before* the oxygen they had was used up.

Each problem had to be solved so the mission could continue. If one *couldn't* be solved... well, then the race was lost, and the men could've died.
