After Apollo:
The Space Shuttle
Beyond his career as an astronaut, Jim Lovell
remained with the Apollo program for the next lunar landing
accomplished by Apollo XIV, acting as a Mission Control advisor. He
watched expressionlessly as Alan Shepard, the first man to fly in
space, and Ed Mitchell "... left footprints in the soil of the foothills
where Lovell and [co-crew member] Fred Haise would never get to
tread." Jim then moved on to the space shuttle
program. The
shuttle program focuses on conducting experiments in space in
an ongoing effort to further man's knowledge about spaceflight and
science.
