Ep. 14 - Jim Lovell: A Life Among the Stars

In this episode of Space on Earth, the team pays tribute to Captain James “Jim” Lovell Jr., legendary Apollo 13 commander and one of NASA’s most accomplished astronauts. Hosts Taylor and Wyatt reflect on his remarkable career, from early days building model rockets to his four spaceflights that shaped the Space Age: Gemini 7, Gemini 12, Apollo 8, and the dramatic Apollo 13 mission. Along the way, they explore Lovell’s legacy as a pioneer of spacewalking, lunar navigation, and teamwork under pressure, and why his story continues to inspire dreamers and explorers on Earth today.
