    Legendary NASA astronaut Jim Lovell dies at the age of 97
    A legendary astronaut who commanded the almost doomed Apollo 13 lunar mission has passed away at the age of 97. Jim Lovell helped turn the 1970 failed moon mission into a success by safely bringing the crew back to Earth after an oxygen tank exploded. NASA Administrator Sean Duffy announced the commander's passing, saying the astronaut's life and work 'inspired millions of people across the decades.'

    This leaves 6 still alive from the Apollo project. Of all 6, Charlie Duke, at 89, is the youngest.

    If you listen to the actual flight control transcripts, Lovell was calm cool, and collected through it all.
