Captain James A. Lovell, Jr., former NASA astronaut and retired Captain in the United States Navy, most famous as the commander of the Apollo 13 mission, visited the offices of Magellan Corporation on November 10, 2015.

And Houston, we had no problem with that at all.

Celebrating the 45th Anniversary of Apollo 13 mission, Captain Lovell spoke about his amazing four journeys into space, which were Gemini 7, Gemini 12, Apollo 8 and Apollo 13. He was the first person to fly into space four times.

Captain Lovell was, in 1968, command module pilot of Apollo 8, at which time he became one of the first three humans to fly to and orbit the Moon. It was during the 1968 mission that Lovell named "Mount Marilyn," a lunar mountain of the moon, after his wife.

He is a recipient of the Congressional Space Medal of Honor and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

It was truly an honor to have Captain Lovell visit our offices, and for him to share his incredible story with us.
