Jim Lovell RIP

[Greenmachine]

Passes away aged 97.

Went to the moon twice and into space four times.
I'm not one for all things NASA and space exploration, but that was some life experience.
Tom Hanks was as brilliant as ever when he played him in Apollo 13.

RIP Jim.

So much for space radiation (neutrinos) slicing through yer insides outside the protection of the Earth's magnetic field, and possibly leading to cancer or other cellular degradation problems in repeat space goers.

Man of space age nearly got to telegram age!

A wonderful humble man who always remembered and never forget those who went before them and helped get them there. Although it was open to degrees of movie fiction, Apollo 13 was largely accurate. Mostly the crew ensured the events of what transpired after the vehicle failure were balanced involving the Families, Mission Control and the Astros. He also said Haise was the real saviour of crew given he was the newcomer.

I always liked listening to to him on tours to promote astrophysics, engineering and space exploration.

Lovell spawned the phrase Houston we have a problem.
Respect.
