James Arthur "Jim" Lovell, Jr. (born March 25, 1928) is a former NASA astronaut and a retired captain in the United States Navy, most famous as the commander of the Apollo 13 mission, which suffered a critical failure en route to the Moon but was brought back safely to Earth by the efforts of the crew and mission control. Lovell was also the command module pilot of Apollo 8, the first Apollo mission to enter lunar orbit. He is a recipient of the Congressional Space Medal of Honor and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He is one of only 24 pepople to have flown to the Moon, the first of only three people to fly to the Moon twice, and the only one to have flown there twice without making a landing. Lovell was also the first person to fly in space four times. Apollo 13 was the seventh manned mission in the American Apollo space program and the third intended to land on the Moon. The craft was launched on April 11, 1970, at 13:13 CST from the Kennedy Space Center, Florida, but the lunar landing was aborted after an oxygen tank exploded two days later, crippling the Service Module (SM) upon which the Command Module (CM) depended. Despite great hardship caused by limited power, loss of cabin heat, shortage of potable water, and the critical need to make makeshift repairs to the carbon dioxide removal system, the crew returned safely toEarth on April 17. The flight passed the far side of the Moon at an altitude of 254 kilometers (137 nautical miles) above the lunar surface, and 400,171 km (248,655 mi) from Earth, a spoaceflight record marking the farthest humans have ever traveled from Earth. The mission was commanded by James A. Lovell with John L. "Jack" Swigert as Command Module Pilot and Fred W. Haise as Lunar Module Pilot.

Index, Signed by Lovell on t-p. DJ has slight wear and soiling. Previously published as Lost Moon. Contains a new Preface. James Arthur "Jim" Lovell Jr. (born March 25, 1928) is a former NASA astronaut and a retired captain in the United States Navy, most famous as the commander of the Apollo 13 mission, which suffered a critical failure en route to the Moon but was brought back safely to Earth by the efforts of the crew and mission control. Lovell was also the command module pilot of Apollo 8, the first Apollo mission to enter lunar orbit. He is a recipient of the Congressional Space Medal of Honor and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. He is one of only 24 people to have flown to the Moon, the first of only three people to fly to the Moon twice, and the only one to have flown there twice without making a landing. Lovell was also the first person to fly in space four times. In April 1970, during the glory days of the Apollo space program, NASA sent Navy Captain Jim Lovell and two other astronauts on America's fifth mission to the moon. Only fifty-five hours into the flight of Apollo 13, disaster struck: a mysterious explosion rocked the ship, and soon its oxygen and power began draining away. Written with all the color and drama of the best fiction, APOLLO 13 (previously published as Lost Moon) tells the full story of the moon shot that almost ended in catastrophe. Minutes after the explosion, the three astronauts are forced to abandon the main ship for the lunar module, a tiny craft designed to keep two men alive for just two days. As the hours tick away, the narrative shifts from the crippled spacecraft to Mission Control, from engineers searching desperately for a way to fix the ship to Lovell's wife and children praying for his safe return. The entire nation watches as one crisis after another is met and overcome. By the time the ship splashes down in the Pacific, we understand why the heroic effort to rescue Lovell and his crew is considered by many to be NASA's finest hour. Now, thirty years after the launch of the mission, Jim Lovell and coauthor Jeffrey Kluger add a new preface and never-before-seen photographs to Apollo 13. In their preface, they offer an incisive look at America's waxing and waning love affair with space exploration during the past three decades, culminating only recently when the Apollo 13 spacecraft itself, long consigned to an aviation museum outside Paris, was at last returned to its rightful home in the United States. As inspiring today as it was thirty years ago, the story of Apollo 13 is a timeless tribute to the enduring American spirit and sparkling individual heroism. Commemorative edition on the 30th Anniversary, second printing.

[6], 378 pp. Publisher's half black cloth and blue paper boards, in pictorial dust-jacket (a trifle dust soiling to extremities, dust jacket a trifle rubbed). Signed by the first author on title page in black pen. Fine condition, in fine dust-jacket. ISBN 0395670292. ---- FIRST EDITION, FIRST PRINTING (10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1). This book, the voyage of Apollo 13, inspired the multiple Academy Award-winning film Apollo 13 starring Tom Hanks. James Arthur "Jim" Lovell, Jr. (born 1928) graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree from the United States Naval Academy in 1952. He served in the US Navy as a pilot before attending test pilot school in Patuxent River, Maryland. From 1958 to 1962, he served in the U.S. Navy as a test pilot. During this time, he also took part in NASA's tests for future astronauts. He was shortlisted, but did not make it to the Mercury Seven selected for the Mercury program. When NASA was looking for a second group of astronauts, Lovell applied again and was accepted this time. On September 17, 1962, he was presented to the public with the second astronaut group. His specialty during training was the recovery of the landing capsule after splashdown. He received his first assignment to a space flight in June 1965: he was assigned as a replacement pilot for Gemini 4. If Edward White had failed, Lovell would have been the first American to leave his spaceship in Earth orbit for a space exit. On July 1, 1965, he was nominated as pilot for Gemini 7. On December 4, 1965, he and Frank Borman took off on this long-duration flight. With 14 days in space, the two set a new record, which was only broken in June 1970 with 17 days by the crew of the Soviet spaceship Soyuz 9. When the crew assignments for the Gemini flights were rescheduled after the fatal plane crash of astronauts Elliot See and Charles Bassett in March 1966, Lovell was given the post of replacement commander of Gemini 9. During Gemini 8 in March and Gemini 9 in June 1966, Lovell worked as a liaison officer (Capcom) at the flight control center in Houston. Shortly after the landing of Gemini 9, on June 17, 1966, Lovell received the nomination for his second space flight and his first command. Together with Buzz Aldrin, he was to carry out the last Gemini flight. Gemini 12 was carried out in November 1966. As part of the Apollo program, he was first assigned to the backup crew of the third manned Apollo flight, Mission E, in November 1967. During the preparations for the Apollo flights, Lovell carried out a simulated splashdown together with Stuart Roosa and Charles Duke from April 5 to April 7, 1968, during which they drifted in an Apollo landing capsule in the Gulf of Mexico for two days. Due to health problems, Michael Collins from the main crew of Mission E had to undergo an operation, so Lovell joined the main crew in the summer of 1968. However, because the lunar module was not yet available, missions and crews were rescheduled. Mission E was moved ahead of Mission D as Mission C? (C prime), numbered Apollo 8 and given a new goal: a flight to the moon without the lunar module. However, the public was only informed of these plans after the successful end of Apollo 7. The flight of Apollo 8 took place from December 21 to December 27, 1968. It was the first manned launch of the Saturn V rocket and the first flight to the moon. Shortly afterwards, Lovell was nominated as the replacement commander of Apollo 11. If Neil Armstrong had been unable to fly, Lovell would have had the chance to be the first man to set foot on the moon. Lovell was initially intended as commander of Apollo 14, while Alan Shepard, who had been absent for a long time for health reasons, was to lead Apollo 13. However, NASA management wanted to give Shepard more time, so Shepard took over Apollo 14, and Lovell was nominated as commander of Apollo 13 on August 6, 1969. He was therefore scheduled to be the fifth man to walk on the moon. With the flight o. Inscribed by Author(s).
