“We learned a lot about the Moon, but what we really learned was about the Earth.”

Jim Lovell, who guided Apollo 13 safely back to Earth, has died aged 97. His bravery was second-to-none but I loved him for his sense of wonder, and his willingness to let that show. RIP

    We waited inbetween horror & hope holding a Nation's collective breath they would find a way home.

    Apollo 13 proved beyond a shadow of a doubt the clever brillance of the human mind when put to the test.
