I have just heard that Jim Lovell’s wife Marilyn has died. My condolences and sympathies go to Captain Lovell and his family. I know that they will have so many people offering their support and comfort at this sad time. Mrs. Lovell’s voyage on this planet is now over but I know she will never be forgotten and she will be remembered very fondly by so many people. Once again, deepest condolences to Jim Lovell and his family on their bereavement. Having survived the near disaster of Apollo 13, largely in part due to the bravery he showed and that of his crew members, he was able to have and enjoy 53 more years with his wife and family. He and Frank Borman are now the longest living people who have gone into space and their flight on Gemini 7 in 1965 means it is the earliest American mission whose crew members are still alive, nearly 58 years later. I believe the first women in space, Russian Valentina Tereshkova, who flew in 1963, is the earliest person to fly into space still alive.

Craziness. When you put it to "53 more years they bought by bringing that crew home." It puts everything into perspective. That's the best case scenario, most of the guys lived into their 90's... sucks about Jack though.

They did hype it. They made Jack Swigart look totally incompetent, which was not the case. Mattingly did not help in the rescue and Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin did not play nursemaid to Grandma Lovell.
