An Evening With Apollo 13 Captain Jim Lovell

With Jim Lovell

Added 5.3.19. In this 2000 episode, Milt interviews famed U.S. astronaut Jim Lovell about the tricky Apollo 13 mission, and more. The 1970 voyage was to be the third U.S. moon landing – but minutes before touch-down, an oxygen tank explosion caused major damage to the spacecraft. That forced a tricky but ultimately safe return to earth. Often called a “successful failure,” the mission led to a 1994 book co-authored by Lovell titled, “Lost Moon: The Perilous Voyage Of Apollo 13,” and a year later the movie “Apollo 13,” starring Tom Hanks as Lovell.
