Ad astra, Jim Lovell, may you rest in peace. An inspiration to generations, a talented and dedicated leader who sacrificed so much and always tried to do the right thing. #pilot #astronaut #commander #Apollo8 #Apollo13 #Gemini7 #Gemini12 #Apollo #Gemini #NASA #America #obituary

"Astronaut Jim Lovell, who guided the Apollo 13 mission safely back to Earth in 1970, has died aged 97.

Nasa said he "turned a potential tragedy into a success" after an attempt to land on the Moon was aborted due to an explosion onboard the spacecraft while it was hundreds of thousands of miles from Earth."
