The "successful failure" of Apollo 13 is the latest Diorama Disaster from Spitefuls.
Apollo 13 was intended to be the third manned lunar-landing mission, a faulty electrical system (w/ explosion) forced it to be aborted. The popular phrase "Houston, we have a problem" originated from the Apollo 13 mission, it was a radio transmission between one of the astronauts to mission control center - the original message was "Houston, we've had a problem".
This Apollo 13 papercraft includes both the Lunar Module and the Command / Service Module.
Here's a diorama depicting the Apollo 13 disaster. It was the third manned mission by NASA intended to land on the moon, but a mid-mission technical malfunction forced the lunar landing to be aborted. Its crew members were led by James A. Lovell wherein his radio transmission "Houston, we've had a problem", has become widely misquoted in popular culture as, "Houston, we have a problem". Apollo 13 Diorama Papercraft
