Default Apollo 13 crew last night in my hometown

I got to see & hear the Apollo 13 Astronauts Captain James Lovell and Fred Haise, joined by Mission Flight Control Director Gene Kranz give a talk last night a nearby college last night.

I was very cool to see these gentlemen in real life. I still can't beleive I was there.

With private space, I have been hoping that James "Close, but no cigar" Lovell will finally get to put his footprints on the lunar surface, but time is running out.
