Jim Lovell dies

Post dm »

He held the unique distinction of going to the Moon twice without actually landing on it. He was on Apollo 8 and the ill fated Apollo 13.

Agreed, sitting on top of the Saturn V if it went wrong it would go up like a small atomic bomb.

There once was a spaceman called Lovell.
Who's died and in need of a shovel.
He went to the moon,
But came back too soon,
All due to a technical muddle.

RIP.

Earliest memory for me ;

in Cann Hall Infants School, Leytonstone,  we had to go to assembly to pray for the Apollo 13 Astronauts

RIP Jim Lovell
