I attended the Apollo 13 40th anniversary celebration at The Kansas Cosmosphere and Space Center.

In this photo, I am with Gene Kranz, NASA Flight Director from the Apollo 13 mission “Failure is not an option”, Fred Haise, Lunar Module pilot from Apollo 13, and Jim Lovell, Apollo 13 Commander “Houston we have a problem”.

We are in front of the Apollo 13 spacecraft.

It’s always an honor to meet veterans of the Apollo lunar program.
