Kevin Bacon Remembers A Disgusting Moment While Filming Apollo 13
Venerable Hollywood actor Kevin Bacon recently recalled a disgusting moment while filming Apollo 13. The film is based on astronaut Jim Lovell and Time magazine writer Jeffery Kluger's book, Lost Moon: The Perilous Voyage of Apollo 13, which recounted the harrowing tale of NASA's Apollo 13 mission. On April 11, 1970, Lovell, John L. Swigert, and Fred W. Haise were launched in a Saturn V rocket with hopes of landing on the moon. However, due to a failure with the craft's oxygen tanks, resulting in an explosion, the mission was aborted. With the craft's cabin rapidly losing air, the crew, along with NASA's ground control, had to work together to devise a plan to get the astronauts back home.
