Grieving the loss of one of my best friends, Jim Lovell. His extraordinary legacy is cemented by many space missions: Gemini VII, Gemini XII, Apollo 8 and Apollo 13.
Our mutual respect had no limits. The Gemini XII mission we flew together paved the way for the Apollo missions.
Heartfelt condolences to Jimβs family.
Farewell Jim. You will be missed, my friend. Godspeed!
We are saddened by the passing of Jim Lovell, commander of Apollo 13 and a four-time spaceflight veteran.
Lovell's life and work inspired millions. His courage under pressure helped forge our path to the Moon and beyondβa journey that continues today. https://t.co/AjT8qmxsZI
@francesweetman In fairness, Makka Pakka would be an improvement on the current crop - national face washing campaigns. Alas the tombliboo's would get booted out after the first trousers dripping scandal.
@TheO2@AXS_UK I have a question which your chatbots can't answer. Your app isn't working properly on my phone. How can I access my tickets? Would love to discuss this with someone
@Tom1Powell84 @WarMovieTheatre I find the whole "helicopter in the channel tunnel" and "apple Mac compatible with alien operating system" stretch credulity too far, whereas "The Rock" is so grounded in reality, it could practically be a documentary.
@WarMovieTheatre Half way through this with 15 yo daughter, still as good as ever. Don't think you need an emergency to justify a rewatch. And the number of people in military uniform surely qualifies it as a war movie.
