Watch: 'Houston, we've had a problem' says Jim Lovell
Astronaut Jim Lovell, known for his role in the Apollo 13 mission's safe return to Earth, has passed away at 97. The 1970 mission faced an in-space explosion that forced the Moon landing to be aborted, with Lovell famously stating "Houston, we've had a problem." Despite the crisis, Lovell and his crew successfully landed back in the Pacific Ocean, a pivotal moment in space exploration history.
