Captain Jim Lovell, commander of the doomed Apollo 13 space mission to the Moon. Jim, who died this month at the age of 97, tells how he helped guide his stricken craft safely back to Earth after it suffered a near catastrophic explosion in an interview first broadcast in April 2020 on the BBC series 13 Minutes to the Moon. He talks to Kevin Fong about the doomed Nasa mission, from the shocking moment of the explosion to the enormous relief of splashdown. Lovell shares the story of the lunar landmark he named in honour of his wife. And he reflects on survival, the global impact of Apollo 13, and what it meant to finally come back to Earth.(Image: Jim Lovell, Credit: Nasa)
Last week, astronaut James Lovell died at the age of 97. In April of 1970, he was the commander of the Apollo 13 mission, which launched with three astronauts en route to the moon. While in space, however, the craft encountered a serious problem: an explosion in one of its fuel tanks that severely damaged the craft and disabled its electrical system, prompting the famous phrase, “Houston, we've had a problem.” In 1995, on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the mission, Host Ira Flatow spoke with Lovell about the historic flight and how good luck and ingenuity among the crew and mission controllers on the ground combined to bring the Apollo 13 astronauts safely back to Earth.Guest:James Lovell was a NASA astronaut and commander of the Apollo 13 mission.Transcripts for each episode are available within 1-3 days at sciencefriday.com.

Commander and Astronaut James A. Lovell, Jr. – died Thursday at the age of 97. He was one of the three-man Apollo 13 spacecraft crew that set for the moon in April 1970. In 1970, the Apollo 13 spacecraft launched from the Kennedy Space Center. It captured the world's attention as America's third attempt to get to the moon. But after only two days, an explosion crippled the spacecraft and changed its mission: Get home safely.The three astronauts onboard, and dozens of flight controllers on Earth, labored for days to solve one challenge after another.Captain Jim Lovell commanded that mission—after a series of historical firsts with his flights on Gemini 7, Gemini 12, and Apollo 8.In 2020, 1A's Todd Zwillich spoke to the captain about that historic flight on its 50th anniversary.

Aaron McIntire dives into a historic Trump-Putin meeting set for August 15 in Alaska to negotiate an end to the Ukraine war, with VP JD Vance calling it a diplomatic breakthrough. Trump's secret authorization of military action against Latin American drug cartels, designated as terrorist organizations, signals a Sicario-like escalation.

Tune in here to this Friday edition of the Brett Winterble Show! Brett kicks off the show with Pete Kaliner for the long-awaited Friday Hangover as they discuss the Bloomberg report suggesting the U.S. and Russia may be close to a truce that cements Putin’s current territorial gains in Ukraine. The two dissect the political fallout such a deal could trigger, including speculation over Trump potentially receiving a Nobel Peace Prize. They debate whether Biden’s alleged weakness and entanglements enabled Putin’s aggression, and how history might have been different had Trump served consecutive terms. Later Brett reflected on the passing of Apollo 13 commander Jim Lovell, celebrating his legendary leadership and pioneering spirit in human spaceflight. At 97, Lovell left behind a legacy of courage, optimism, and inspiration. Brett tied Lovell’s story to NASA’s recent discovery of a coral-shaped rock on Mars, billions of years old, prompting a broader question to listeners: can we still do great things?

AP correspondent Ed Donahue reports on the death of a legendary astronaut.
Apollo 13 was slated to be NASA's third manned spaceflight to land on the moon. Apollo 11 won us the space race and Apollo 12 proved it wasn't just a fluke that we put a man on the lunar surface. Apollo 13 was going to up the ante by putting men on a different part of the moon to explore. Now all of these missions took place within a period of 12 months so by Apollo 13 the public had lost interest. NASA had made it too easy to reach the moon according to the public. Well two days later the nation and world were glued to their TV's after an explosion in space crippled Apollo 13's command ship Odyssey leaving the astronauts short on oxygen and with power systems failing 200,000+ miles from Earth. Normally an explosion in space is a death sentence and it would've been for James Lovell, John Swigert, and Fred Haise, but the geniuses of NASA mission and flight control had other plans. Through some of the craziest feats of sciences, mathematics, physics, and engineering the rescued these three men from the jaws of cold death. Find out how they did it on this week's episode.

Welcome to a very special mini-series on The Inner Game of Change. I'm thrilled to take you on this journey as we explore something both timeless and practical: Mental Models for Managing Change.Now, before we get into today's topic, let's quickly revisit something we mention in every episode — what is a mental model anyway?A mental model is a way of seeing — a framework that helps us interpret complexity, solve problems, and make better decisions. You can think of it like a map or a lens. The clearer it is, the more confidently we can navigate uncertainty.In our last episode, we explored the OODA Loop — a model that helps us respond quickly and wisely when change is moving fast and unpredictably.Today, we are building on that, because once you have figured out how to adapt quickly, the next challenge is dealing with sheer size and complexity.That is where today's mental model comes in — Chunking.Send us a textAli Juma @The Inner Game of Change podcast Follow me on LinkedIn

Dale Earnhardt Jr. sits down with legendary director and film producer Ron Howard to learn more about his involvement in the Amazon Prime series Earnhardt, as well as a deep dive into Ron's storied career. After finding stardom as a child actor on the Andy Griffith Show and becoming an icon as part of the famed Happy Days series, Ron made the decision to move behind the camera and began a sterling career as a director and producer. Dale Jr. was curious about Ron's process of picking a project to work on, which Ron explains can be different every time but relies a lot on his gut feeling. Ron says that the Earnhardt story checked many boxes of great storytelling as it was relatable and had larger-than-life characters that faced challenges.Ron recalls moving into projects that dealt with real-life events, which began when he took on Apollo 13. Although he originally felt that historical subjects might limit creativity, he found telling the stories in a film setting to be liberating, and it helped him step into the documentary world. The guys also chat about the films that surprised Ron with how they were received, and what he feels his greatest accomplishments in his career have been so far. Ron talks about the process of getting nominated for Best Director and how technology has evolved filmmaking and the art of storytelling on screen. Dale also inquires about Ron's decision to leave acting and move into the world of directing, likening it to a race driver's decision to retire from behind the wheel.

This was the seventh crewed mission in the Apollo space program and the third meant to land on the Moon. Buy Fred's book here “Never Panic Early: An Apollo 13 Astronaut's Journey” and support the podcast. Now as you can imagine I'm genuinely excited to be speaking with one of the Apollo astronauts.

In the April instalment of our 2025 50-30 series where we talk about notable movies from 1975 and 1995 we are turning our attention to Apollo 13, a Ron Howard-directed account of the unfortunate mission to the Moon cut short by a series of malfunctions that left the trio of astronauts stranded in space. Over the course of our conversation you will hear us talk about what we think this movie touched on and how it spoke to audiences at the time, how we argue if it is a space survival thriller or a disaster movie and how much of this movie's success is owed to Tom Hanks and his post-Oscar clout. We also talk about the allure of procedural authenticity, the genius of encapsulating complex science within simple visual ideas, and the body horror of having three men locked for a week in a box the size of a phone booth.
