Lundeen Statue of Jack Swigert, Apollo 13 CMP

Lundeen Statue of Jack Swigert, Apollo 13 CMP

Colorado astronaut Jack Swigert was the Command Module Pilot on the nearly disastrous Apollo 13 mission in 1970. While traveling to the Moon, an oxygen tank exploded, crippling the spacecraft and virtually dooming the crew. Ingenuity, teamwork with engineers on the ground, and a “failure is not an option” attitude enabled the crew to make emergency repairs and a successful landing. This statue is a duplicate of the bronze created by George and Mark Lundeen for the National Statuary Collection in the United States Capitol.
