Introduction

Welcome! This site is a brief encapsulation (if you will) of the life and career of Jim Lovell, a career NASA astronaut. The information resources provided as clickable links are for anyone interested in rockets, space flight, space in general, NASA, and for those who'd like to find out more about Jim's experience on Apollo XIII after seeing the current Universal Pictures' major motion picture, "Apollo 13" starring Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, Bill Paxton, Gary Sinise and Ed Harris.

Enjoy!

... Caught in the void and empty space
In between there and back
And the paradise of going somewhere
That's still so far away
Happy, boy you bet I am
Holding on to this smile
for just as long as I can

Heaven

It's all bright in front
And it's all dark behind
Livin' for the now that's
in between the bridges and the signs
And getting there is still
a long way to go...
