On Thursday, April 16th, the Cradle is honored to present a special evening with Apollo Astronauts Jim Lovell and Fred Haise and NASA Flight Director Gene Kranz, who is best known for his role in directing the successful Mission Control team efforts to save the crew of Apollo 13.
Apollo 13 lifted off on April 11, 1970 heading to a third moon landing at Fra Mauro. Two days into the mission there was an explosion in the Service Module which caused the dedicated men and women of NASA, Grumman and other companies to spring into action. The Grumman-made Lunar Module Aquarius became the "lifeboat" which served the crew until a plan could be devised to bring them back. Despite great challenges, the crew returned safely to Earth on April 17.
- Dinner will be at 6:00 pm followed by a panel discussion.
- Sorry, no autographs will be permitted.
- Admission to the event is $125 per person.
- Grumman employees are $50 and can bring one guest at $50.
