Jim Lovell, the astronaut who settled in north suburban Lake Forest after a career that included four space missions, culminating in heroically guiding the Apollo 13 back to Earth after an explosion crippled part of the spacecraft, died Thursday at his home in Lake Forest. https://chicago.suntimes.com/obituaries/2025/08/08/jim-lovell-obituary-apollo-13-astronaut-dies-at-97
