This year marks the 40th anniversary of Apollo 13….Come celebrate this monumental occasion in US history with APCO International.

A great American hero, astronaut Jim Lovell is most famous for his role in the American space age, specifically for his calm and careful command of Apollo 13. Lovell stoically articulated the five-word message, “Houston, we have a problem,” which quickly became a part of the American lexicon. The infamous problem was the explosion of the oxygen system inside the Apollo 13 spacecraft—a malfunction that seemingly doomed the NASA team. Through teamwork and decisive leadership Lovell and his crew modified the lunar module into an effective lifeboat to safely return to Earth. As captain, he was instantly transformed into a national hero, and received the nation’s most distinguished honors including the Congressional Space Medal of Honor and the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

Captain Jim Lovell’s inspirational story is a testament to the essential elements of heroism: a courageous spirit, quick and well-reasoned thinking, meticulous attention to every detail, and the spirit of teamwork that guided him and his crew safely back to Earth. Harkening back to the incredible early days of space exploration and the Apollo program, Lovell applies the “time when we did bold things in space to achieve leadership” to your goals and ambitions, proving that even during challenging times, innovation and new heights of leadership can be attained.  An unforgettable motivational speaker with an unforgettable story, Lovell will inspire you with his valiant and courageous journey.
