The Apollo 13 astronauts had artist Lumen Winter create an emblem from an idea the crew had of the mythical god Apollo driving a horse drawn chariot across the sky dragging the sun behind him. Winter's design features three horses traveling from the earth to the moon, symbolizing the Apollo crew of three astronauts.
