Veteran astronaut Jim Lovell died August 7 aged 97. He was the last of that second group of astronauts — called "the Next Nine" — to die, meaning he had been an astronaut longer than any other person alive. Lovell flew on Gemini 7, Gemini 12, Apollo 8 and Apollo 13. Lovell's death leaves just 5 Apollo astronauts left alive; 4 who walked on the Moon and 1 who flew to the Moon but never landed.

RIP Captain Lovell
