Remembering John L. “Jack” Swigert, who leaped out of stewardesses’ apartments into the history books 43 years ago today, and was eventually played by Kevin Bacon. Also, was a boss. |

» Jack Swigert Obituary Newsreel, 1982
This has been posted before, but I’m resharing it.
“There are thousands of people who believe in me, and we’re just going to go ahead and win this campaign.” In less than four months, he would succumb to an aggressive form of lymphoma - but he had won a Senate seat.
Jack taught us a powerful lesson: No matter what, don’t give up…
Swigert: Well, it is your birthday today, so I wanted to tell you…Jim, I am your father. Lovell: What the fudge cookies? Frappin’ A. That’s not even possible. I was born in 1928. You were born in 1931. Swigert: I know, but this is NASA. Timelines don’t make sense here. I saw John Young wearing some sunglasses that won’t come out until 1997 today. Lovell: …Cheese and crackers! |

I can’t believe I forgot this, but in December 2012, we marked 30 years without Jack Swigert. RIP. |
