Yes, I could just see sending a robot entering an Apollo capsule.

Also you forget that Apollo missions are target to use the Moon's gravity so although they may reach escape speeds they still have options which don't require as much delta V. Just compare what was needed for Delta V to bring Apollo 13 back towards Earth vs what would be needed for a mission to Mars without having the Moon's gravity to assist. Again you haven't studied the facts.

As for sending another crew without understanding what killed the first. Note that we had aready sent 3 crews to the Moon before Apollo 13 so we knew the basic system worked.

What was needed was details on the specifics and they information Houston had would have already given them ideas that would have reduced the risk to the new crew.
