Captain Lovell was selected as an Astronaut by NASA in September 1962. He has since served as backup pilot for the Gemini 4 flight and backup Commander for the Gemini 9 flight, as well as backup Commander to Neil Armstrong for the Apollo 11 lunar landing mission.
On December 4, 1965, he and Frank Borman were launched into space on the history-making Gemini 7 mission. The flight lasted 330 hours and 35 minutes and included the first rendezvous of two manned maneuverable spacecraft.
The Gemini 12 mission, commanded by Lovell with Pilot Edwin Aldrin, began on November 11, 1966. This 4-day, 59-revolution flight brought the Gemini program to a successful close. Lovell served as Command Module Pilot and Navigator on the epic six-day journey of Apollo 8 - man's maiden voyage to the moon - December 21-27, 1968. Apollo 8 was the first manned spacecraft to be lifted into near-earth orbit by a 7-1/2 million pound thrust Saturn V launch vehicle; and Lovell and fellow crewmen, Frank Borman and William A. Anders, became the first humans to leave the Earth's gravitational influence.
He completed his fourth mission as Spacecraft Commander of the Apollo 13 flight, April 11-17, 1970, and became the first man to journey twice to the moon. Apollo 13 was programmed for ten days. However, the original flight plan was modified en route to the moon due to a failure of the Service Module cryogenic oxygen system. Lovell and fellow crewmen, John L. Swigert and Fred W. Haise, working closely with Houston ground controllers, converted their lunar module "Aquarius" into an effective lifeboat. Their emergency activation and operation of lunar module systems conserved both electrical power and water in sufficient supply to assure their safety and survival while in space and for the return to earth.

This is a real-life superhero kids.

[@tigertiger1699]

What a beautiful beautiful human..., so so like my late Dad.., such a gentle, humble, unassuming Man.., clever clever with no ego or importance of self...

[@WilliamViets]

A true superhero.

[@travelshorts]

Yes he is.

[@personzorz]

Man, I hope I'm half as sharp as him in 50 years...

[@bb-ly4ub]

maybe the van allen radiation belt is responsible for that..

[@davestory6123]

Brilliant lecture , totally absorbing , Thank you SPACE LECTURES , KEN , THE TEAM AND BRIAN COX 😀

[@tonyknight9912]

What a brilliant, brilliant interview / Q&A session with a really top man. Treasure this folks, these sort of people will not be around for much longer !

[@danitewatchman6538]

Jim Lovell the man who deserves the most respect from all men because he was able to hold things together in a situation where most individuals would have failed and lost the entire crew of Apollo 13. I met the man in Las Vegas a few years ago when his book was first released, It was amazing that there were few at his booth so we got to spend time with him, I consider myself very lucky to have had that moment in time. Great man Jim Lovell...

[@fireblade954rr4]

A real superhero .... and sharp as a pin..

[@colinjava8447]

Everyone gives Neil Armstrong the credit, but in some sense it was Jim Lovell , Borman and Anders that went to the moon first.

[@TurkiyeCumhurbaskani]

infested with trolls here

[@Tsumami__]

Cornelius Maximilianus trolls are trying to be funny or obnoxious, though. These nuts are genuinely mentally unhinged. Some of them are also mentally regressed as well, making their delusions even worse.

[@dianalynne7648]

Fun, funny, & informative; a great presentation. Captain Lovell is an American hero, and Professor Cox is a physics Rock Star. If he had been my teacher, the trajectory of my life would've been completely different.

[@michaeldavis1609]

I dont no how anyone could listen to him and say it was a hoax

[@hikesystem7721]

I would love the opportunity to hear him speak. Is he still giving interviews andsm speeches?

[@travelshorts]

I am not sure if he still is, this was from a few years ago. Best place to check is on the sightings page on collectspace.com

[@justgjt]

He truely is an amazing individual. A man to look up to. Thanks for sharing this awesome experience.

[@briane5706]

True hero who orbited the moon twice, and survived a potentially catastrophic failure of the Apollo 13 mission.

[@SpaceTime773]

no he orbited the moon only on apollo 8, on 13 he just flew around it and back to earth, called free return trajectory

[@hikesystem7721]

Jim Lovell is incredible. A true American hero.

[@travelshorts]

He sure is 👍

[@michaeldavis1609]

91 and still going strong great man

[@joestimemachine6454]

I would love to hear Prof. Cox and Jim Lovell discuss thermodynamics!

[@yassassin6425]

Well Professor Cox is a physicist of great renown and Lovell is a mechanical engineer. What particular aspect of it would you be interested in?

[@Tsumami__]

The fact that someone in the comment section asked if the first moon landing happened in 1963 made my stomach actually hurt

[@jgunther3398]

Brian puts me in mind of the Dave Clark Five

[@travelshorts]

👍

[@flrpitflrp1965]

It’s sad to know we are losing all theses men. And no one will soon be alive that has walked on the moon. It’s such a waste to realize that with all that knowledge, it just stopped. We as a species should be so much further along.

[@travelshorts]

I know, it has been such an honour to have been able to meet so many of these guys.

[@barracuda7018]

Apollo 8 longest distance a manned spacecraft travelled. The record hasn't been broken yet. What an amazing achievement.

[@travelshorts]

👍

[@mikeprentis8426]

Ask Lovell what the Moon really looks like!

[@raydunn9912]

Jim Lovell - a true gentleman - thank you

[@travelshorts]

It was a great experience being there.

[@TurkiyeCumhurbaskani]

Brian cox is a class act

[@rowdyyates4273]

a class act for a clown!!1

[@jamesbyrne9312]

What??

[@andybenstead7240]

People who don't believe that they landed on the moon are complete and utter deluded fools

[@travelshorts]

👍

[@kevinreffitt9635]

Jim Lovell and the Crew of Apollo 13 proved survival is the best success.

[@travelshorts]

😀

[@cocomo2558]

We had a fantastic time! What a brilliant way to introduce my little 4 year old to the wonders of space!

[@philfyphil]

Great question with entertaining answer as well :-)

[@Teamcashola]

WARNING: Tin foil hat wearer above.

[@biffedya]

introducing kids to the wonder's of space and science is a great ethos ...these little scientist may grow up and bring humanity many more wonders ...good for you for being a cool parent

[@Tsumami__]

upper cut I feel such pity for your poor unfortunate grandchild. I'm surprised a child spawned and raised by you actually managed to procreate, but now that the grandchild exists I can only feel sympathy, as it has an absolute nutjob as a grandparent. You're basically abusing your grandchild. I hope someday soon we can prosecute people like you. Damaging a child's mind during their upbringing is the worst offense.

[@biffedya]

uppercut your ignorance is astounding ...leave the teaching to educated people ...passing on your delusion to kids is wrong

[@MarvelousLXVII]

What a great man!

[@dermotgannon4895]

Tom stanton at 18min 30sec????

[@NameNotAlreadyTaken2]

7:25 -- you're disappointed in the direction the US space program IS GOING? Like, you aren't disappointed in the direction it WAS GOING when you flew Apollo 13? Everything following up had already been cancelled, all the Apollo hardware was about to be thrown in the trash, literally, and there was a politically-motivated space shuttle design guaranteed to fail... Why not be disappointed then? Nostalgia?

[@tigertiger1699]

Shame.. I say this because his persona is a spitting image of our Dad.... what a “Gent” to have been raised and lead by.... didn’t fully realise at the time...

[@vladvostok1723]

APOLLO-8 &13 & CREW WERE THE GREATEST SPACE MISSIONS IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND!!!!!

[@michaeldavis1609]

When jim say hate the guy i think jim was having a dig at frank borman if because bormans crew would havel been first to go for a landing he never told lovell he was offered it and turned it down

[@venkateshbabu5623]

Mars can be kept clean only by smelting or plasma boiler . Earth also needs cleaning for human and animal waste all trash should not be thrown on sea.

[@anderskarlsson9236]

Great interview. So great listening to such an enthustiastic person, who's got so much to share from his career!

[@GregJay]

"Roger----r, please be advised, there is a Santa Clause" Famous line by Jim, why didn't somebody ask him exactly what he meant? Or How did you make it through the Van Allen belts? Or the most important one of all, did you guys really take Tang? I think Lovell is a man of Integrity and of all the remaining live astronauts still has all of his faculties unlike Aldren who is looking pretty bad and a bit kooky.

[@tigertiger1699]

Lindbergh was correct

[@ianwilds3139]

The phantom patriot who used to fly the phantom aircraft.

[@Ag8MrE]

at 20:10 was that Brian Cox's daughter?

[@jamesbyrne9312]

Brian Cox is so full of himself

[@reg1366]

The thermal dinamdick what

[@JamesJohnson-ok1hn]

man isnt Lovell so sharp

[@abbaszaidi8371]

Big thanks to my brother for getting me to pontefract to shake this mans hand. Thank bruder

[@poobum9857]

Brian Cox is the luckest man meeting all these famous intelligent pioneers !!

[@yassassin6425]

He's worked very hard to get into a position that affords him the opportunity.

[@kenwencl6649mnhjKmnhhi]

[@rimpymickey]

Brian "sycophant" Cox seems more interested in his Iphone than the distraction on his left. No mention on the Van Allen Belts.

[@carlton7015]

sounds like waffle. How does he make it all sound so boring? He probably didn't go anywhere outside of low earth orbit, if that.

[@joesoboleski4282]

Show vide of fakery anytime . And quit stalling it only shows you have something to hide .lossers

[@TheZen900]

Listen closely to how Lovell answers B Cox. Everytime Cox asks Lovell a direct question about the moon mission he deflects away from the moon landing onto something else. Ex when asked about navigating to the moon Lovell starts talking about Lindberg. He never mentions anything about the process of navigation. This "deflecting" is the same trick Buzz Aldrin uses rather than talk about something that never happened.

[@Nautilus1972]

+W Zen Fuck off you idiot.

[@TheZen900]

NASA will be shut down within 5 years. This type of government waste has to go. No more free rides to egg heads.

[@darnhard]

+W Zen oohhh only you know the truth you are so special no go take your meds and leave the adults alone

[@Ag8MrE]

"This type of government waste has to go" he says typing on his computer keyboard and sending his thoughts uncensored of the Internet for all to see for free. Do you have a smart phone? Do you travel to distant countries using commercial airlines? Do you have a microwave oven? Do you use GPS? Flat screen TV? Use google? Use cellphones? Where do you think this technology comes from?

[@TheZen900]

Defund nasa. Their claims are hoaxes.

[@stresslessandrelax6368]
