Famed NASA astronaut and Apollo 13 commander Jim Lovell has died at age 97 Lovell commanded the mission that almost ended in disaster after an explosion that threatened the crew’s oxygen and electrical supply. It was the first space mission for Ayers and fellow crewmate Peskov. That mission marked the 12th time SpaceX launched NASA astronauts to the ISS. NASA is hoping commercial companies will launch new space stations for the agency’s astronauts in the coming decade. “All of us are keenly aware that we may never get to do this again,” said McClain, Crew-10 commander, before her departure.
