🌍🚀 Rest in Peace, Captain Jim Lovell
1928–2025
Jim Lovell, the legendary astronaut who guided the Apollo 13 crew safely home against impossible odds, has passed away at the age of 97.
From witnessing the first Earthrise on Apollo 8 to calmly delivering the now-iconic line — “Houston, we’ve had a problem”, Lovell was the calm in the storm, the leader in the unknown. A man who literally brought the world together — twice.
His story wasn’t just one of science and space; it was about hope, courage, and the unbreakable human spirit.
💫 “He made each of us feel we could do the impossible.”
Thank you, Captain, for reminding us how far determination can take us — even 200,000 miles from Earth.
