Lovell Joins Golden Spike

Former astronaut James Lovell is joining the board of advisors of Golden Spike, the company planning to sell lunar landing flights to countries, corporations, and individuals starting around 2020.

Lovell never landed on the Moon, but he was part of two legendary lunar missions.  Apollo 8 was the first human mission to reach beyond Earth orbit, and Apollo 13, under Lovell's command, looped around the Moon as it tried to get safely home after an onboard explosion.
