Jim Lovell, one of the astronauts who helped guide the Apollo 13 mission in 1970, died at the age of 97.
An attempt to land on the moon was aborted when hundreds of thousands of miles from Earth due to explosions on the spacecraft.
“Houston, we had a problem,” Lovell said to shocked mission control at the time. This is an understatement.
When Lovell and two other astronauts splashed into the Pacific, the moment became one of the most iconic moments in space travel history, watching tens of millions of views on TV.
