@Breumaster, Thank you for putting this poll together. I believe you've broadly covered what we most remember Jim Lovell for. If I think of anything else that should be included, I will make a point to post it here.

Of course, Dan. Thank you for your commendation. I posted about his passing yesterday and was a little confused that there was no army of poll writers who want to give him the last honor on IMDb. For myself I must admit that I didn't know about Lovell untill the movie 'Apollo 13'. In school we used "Houston we got a problem!" as term for something going terribly wrong. But we used it falsely. I researched the correct communication on Wikipedia, which uses proven sources for such quotes. They have pretty tough hurdles for writing an article there. But so I took a little more research, because I think it's worth the work for such a legendary person. I wanted to make an adequate poll for Jim Lovell. So I checked it several times at night, rephrased, checked typos, and so on. I hope it fits all-in-all.If there are still typos or wrong wording, please tell me and I'll change it. Thank you in advance.

Thank you. I'm sooo used to write 20xx at a year, that I mixed it up. I just don't understand why I didn't get it, because I read it several times afterwards. Corrected.
