In 2010, Jim Lovell explored his Apollo 8 spacecraft at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago.

Lovell commanded the mission that almost ended in disaster after an explosion that threatened the crew's oxygen and electrical supply. The inspiring story of their survival was made into a hit movie.
