Jim Lovell dies

[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.

These early astronauts were absolute fucking GEEZERS. Sad no doubt, but he lived a lot longer than he ought to have given the risks they took back then and definitely longer than he would have expected himself. 

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
