What lunar module pilot was depicted in the 1995 film Apollo 13?
Apollo 13 (film) Apollo 13 is a 1995 American space adventure docudrama film directed by Ron Howard and starring Tom Hanks, Kevin Bacon, Bill Paxton, Gary Sinise, and Ed Harris. The screenplay by William Broyles, Jr. and Al Reinert, that dramatizes the aborted 1970 Apollo 13 lunar mission, is an adaptation of the book "Lost Moon: The Perilous Voyage of Apollo 13" by astronaut Jim Lovell and Jeffrey Kluger. The film depicts astronauts Lovell, Jack Swigert, and Fred Haise aboard Apollo 13 for America's third Moon landing mission. En route, an on-board explosion deprives their spacecraft of most of its oxygen supply and electric power, forcing NASA's flight controllers to abort the Moon landing, and turning the mission into a struggle to get the three men home safely.
Seatbelt basalt Lunar Sample 15016, better known as the "Seatbelt Basalt", is a lunar sample discovered and collected on the Apollo 15 mission in 1971 in the Hadley-Apennine region of the moon. The rock is a 0.923 kg vesicular olivine basalt. It is so named because mission commander, David Scott, noticed it on the surface while driving the lunar rover and stopped to collect it, but said to mission control that he was just fastening his seatbelt. This unplanned stop was later designated geology station 3, located about 125 meters west of Rhysling crater.
