After Apollo:
The Space Shuttle
Beyond
his career as an astronaut, Jim Lovell remained with the Apollo
program for the next lunar landing accomplished by Apollo XIV, acting
as a Mission Control advisor. He watched expressionlessly as Alan
Shepard, the first man to fly in space, and Ed Mitchell "... left
footprints in the soil of the foothills where Lovell and [co-crew
member] Fred Haise would never get to tread." Jim then moved on
to the space shuttle program. The shuttle program focuses on
conducting experiments in space in an ongoing effort to further man's
knowledge about spaceflight and science.
