Former test pilot, Gemini and Apollo astronaut Jim Lovell dies at the age of 97. A U.S. Navy pilot, Lovell had applied to join NASA during the agency’s initial search for the Mercury astronauts, but was sidelined from selection due to medical test results, only to be brought into the space program when new astronauts were recruited for the Gemini program. Lovell was the pilot of Gemini 7 (the first long-duration space mission, lasting two weeks), and commanded Gemini 12, the final flight of that program. On Apollo 8, the first crewed mission to orbit the moon, Lovell served as command module pilot, and was originally scheduled to command Apollo 14. A change in flight rotation moved Lovell and his crew up to Apollo 13. Faulty wiring in an oxygen tank caused an explosion in the command module, venting much of the vehicle’s oxygen supply into space and causing the cancellation of the intended third moon landing in favor of preserving resources to attempt to bring the crew home safely. After the harrowing journey, Lovell retired from NASA, and later co-wrote (with Jeffrey Kluger) the memoir Lost Moon, which was then optioned as the basis of the Ron Howard movie Apollo 13.
