834:. At one point the Apollo 13 spacecraft's Lunar Module ran low on lithium hydroxide (LiOH) canisters which were used to remove carbon dioxide, which created a risk that the crew would die of carbon dioxide poisoning before they could return to Earth.

NASA engineers on the ground improvised a way to connect the Command Module canisters to the Lunar Module's sockets using only the supplies that the astronauts had available to them. The astronauts called the invention "the mailbox".
