Over on Gizmodo, there is a list of the things that went wrong leading up to the Apollo 13 "problem":
http://io9.com/the-checklist-of-what-had-to-go-wrong-for-apollo-13-to-1697567898
In the discussion someone raised the question: "if the explosion had occurred after the lunar explorers had returned to the CM and after the LM had been jettisoned, and for some reason they hadn't been able to leave lunar orbit...would Apollo 13's orbit have been stable enough that it would still be in orbit about the moon to this day?"
I haven't yet tried to apply Orbiter to this question, but thought I'd ask the community: Is Orbiter's model of lunar gravity accurate enough to answer this? If so, how long would the CSM remain in orbit?
