	Jim Lovell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lovell was the backup pilot for Gemini 4, and his first spaceflight was as pilot of Gemini 7 in December 1965, which was the first flight to spend a fortnight in space, and also conducted the first space rendezvous with Gemini 6A.
		Lovell was originally scheduled to be the backup commander of Gemini 10, but after the deaths of Elliott See and Charles Bassett, he became backup commander of Gemini 9A, and in November 1966 made his second flight into space as commander of Gemini 12.
		Lovell was backup commander of Apollo 11 and was scheduled to command Apollo 14, but he and his crew swapped missions with the crew of Apollo 13, as it was felt the commander of the other crew, Alan Shepard, needed more time to train after being grounded for a long period.

	Jim Lovell: Apollo 13 Astronaut
		Lovell executed various commands in the Gemini Mission Program, including serving as backup pilot for the Gemini 4 flight and pilot on the history-making Gemini 7 flight which saw the first rendezvous of two manned spacecraft in 1965.
		At the close of the Gemini program, Lovell became command module pilot and navigator for the epic six-day journey on Apollo 8, man’s maiden voyage to the moon, during which he and his fellow crew were the first humans to leave the earth’s gravitational influence.
		Lovell educates and fascinates as he relates the skills required to turn a failed system into a successful mission to the tools needed to succeed in the business world of today and tomorrow.

	Lovell
		Lovell was given command of his own lunar landing mission on Apollo 13 with Lunar Module Pilot Fred Haise and Command Module pilot Jack Swigert.
		Lovell and Haise were to have explored the moon's Fra Mauro highlands in April 1970, but en route, an oxygen tank in the Service Module exploded, resulting in loss of all Command Module oxygen and electric power.
		Astronauts James A. Lovell, Jr., Stuart A. Roosa, and Charles M. Duke, Jr., participated in a recovery test of spacecraft 007, conducted by the MSC Landing and Recovery Division in the Gulf of Mexico.

	Apollo 13 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Jim Lovell and Jeffrey Kluger's book about the mission, Lost Moon, was later turned into a successful movie, Apollo 13, starring Tom Hanks, Bill Paxton and Kevin Bacon as the Apollo crewmen.
		Lovell was aware of the decision to use the heater to evaporate the oxygen, which was calculated to take a few days at the highest operational temperature of 80 °F (27 °C).
		However, because the lunar landing was never made, Lovell kept the plaque, which is one of the few mementos from the mission that he has on display at his home.

		Lovell and Kluger's account of Mission Control's heroic efforts to figure out a way to bring the crew home safely and the astronauts' race against time in a freezing spacecraft provide the core of this gripping narrative.
		Even though Lovell was the commanding officer of "Apollo 13" and therefore at the very heart of these galvanizing events, he and coauthor Kluger of "Discover" magazine felt that the "omniscient sweep" of a third-person voice was essential to the telling of this unparalleled story.
		Lovell and Kluger document every white-knuckle phase of this near disaster, balancing fascinating technological detail with more, pardon the pun, down-to-earth concerns, such as how Marilyn Lovell kept her composure during the seemingly endless ordeal.

	Jim Lovell & Jeffrey Kluger, Lost Moon
		Jim Lovell's input gives this story an easy-going air, like he's sitting back in the study, sharing a drink with you while chatting about old war stories.
		Yet even when Lovell isn't relating the events from his first-person vantage point, that "I was there" immediacy still comes through, odd as that may sound.
		The joke invoice, of course, was eventually delivered to Rockwell, and while Lovell doesn't address the matter, it's a virtual certainty that those folks failed to see the brilliance of the humor.
