For Space Buffs and Ohioans, it is sad news indeed that one of the last remaining Apollo Astronauts has passed away at the age of 97. Lovell was an Ohio native and a veteran of four major space flights, including Gemini 7 and 12, the historic Apollo 8 lunar orbital mission and the ill-fated Apollo 13.
Lovell was born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1928. He was one of 21 NASA Astronauts that came from the State of Ohio. Only the state of New York has produced more(24).
RIP and God Speed Jim Lovell.
