Jim Lovell was a human astronaut aboard Apollo 13 on 17 April, 1970. During the spacecraft's flight an oxygen tank exploded, creating a shortage of heat, power and water which forced the crew to carry out ingenious makeshift repairs. (PROSE: Time Traveller's Diary) The Fourth Doctor described this as "real skin-of-your-teeth-stuff", and referred to Jim Lovell as the "hero of Apollo 13." (PROSE: Three Wise Men)
