Join us as we honor the legacy of Apollo 13 commander James "Jim" Lovell Jr., who passed away at 97. From his early days as a Naval Academy graduate and fighter pilot to becoming a NASA astronaut, Lovell’s career was extraordinary. He flew on Gemini 7 and 12, pioneered lunar orbit on Apollo 8, and heroically led Apollo 13 through its infamous "Houston, we've had a problem" crisis after an oxygen tank explosion. Learn about his test pilot days, the first crewed space rendezvous, lunar geology, and the dramatic survival story immortalized by Ron Howard’s film starring Tom Hanks. Celebrate Lovell’s contributions to space exploration, Apollo program history, and NASA’s "successful failure." 🤵 Hosted by Ryan Caton (@DPodDolphinPro). 🖊️ Written by Chris Bergin & Ryan Caton. 🎥 Video from NASA, US Navy, AndrewBuck, Sawyer Rosenstein. ✂️ Edited by Ryan Caton (@DPodDolphinPro). 💼 Produced by Kevin Michael Reed (@kmreed).
