Personal hero of mine

James A. Lovell Jr., Commander of Apollo 13, Is Dead at 97

He led the three-man crew that survived a near catastrophic explosion in space in 1970, and was later immortalized by Tom Hanks in the movie “Apollo 13.”

Apollo 13 the movie was released 25 years after the true events. That was 30 years ago

55 years doesn't seem possible. In fact, it doesn't seem that long since I read of Sputnik 1 as I ate breakfast in Lenoir Hall. Oct. 1957.
