Nasa embroiled in row with Apollo 13 commander Jim Lovell Following the sale of the checklist in November, Lovell said: "I was cleaning out some old stuff on a bookcase and found it. My kids took all they wanted and I donated a lot of my collection to museums. I decided to put this up for auction so that someone who is really interested in this piece of history can enjoy it. The agency also raised questions about a £8,500 ($13,000) lunar module identification plate and a £14,700 ($22,700) hand controller sold by Apollo 9 astronaut Rusty Schweikart through Heritage, and a hand glove worn by Alan Shepard while training for Apollo 14 which fetched more than £12,300 ($19,000). It comes a year after NASA filed a federal lawsuit against Edgar Mitchell, the Apollo 14 astronaut, obliging him to return a camera used on his Moon mission in 1971. The camera has since been placed in a museum. The Apollo 13 mission's aim was to land on the moon but disaster struck after an oxygen tank exploded 200,000 miles from Earth, prompting command module pilot Jack Swigert to inform mission controllers: "Houston, we've had a problem here." The crew, including third member Fred Haise, was forced to abort the landing and move into the Lunar module to survive as their ship flew around the moon and limped home.
