RIP my man.
…he survived Space, but in the end he couldnt survive Time.
None of us can.
May you have gone higher than ever before on this, your last adventure, and truly reached the Heavens this time
RIP, actual hero.

Apollo 13 was a great movie, great cast and great director, even with that douchebag Tom Hanks playing the lead role.
Is that conspiracy theory about us not going to the moon still a thing?
97, he was full of years. The astronauts back then were national heroes and cultural icons. RIP Commander.

A very significant moment that occured during the Apollo 8 space mission was when he honored God by reading scripture from the Holy Bible, specifically Genesis. Here’s the inspiration for that moment;

A great man of courage who set a standard of excellence. Rest in peace, sir.
That still gives me chills up and down my spine when he read from Genesis while orbiting the moon for the whole world to hear. RIP Sir, you and all the Apollo astronauts were great Americans and pioneers of outer space and God bless America and thank you for your service.
RIP
RIP Jim Lovell. I watched in awe as you men accomplished your mission to return safely. It will be quite awhile before we find men, and a country to support them, with ‘the right stuff.’ If ever.
Time is short; finding our way to Christ is the priority.
Good memories of historic times that will live forever!
When they fly that high, God wants them back!
RIP sir.
A lot of people i looked up to when i was a kid are passing away.
I must be getting old.
