Photo Challenge Day 13

A photo of one of your favourite movies: Apollo 13

I'm sure this comes as no surprise but being the total space geek that I am I absolutely LOVE Apollo 13. No matter how many times I've seen it I still get the chills when those chutes open up at the end. For some reason the sight of all the kids patting Jim Lovell's son on the back and Ed Harris as Gene Kranz sitting down and letting out that amazing sigh of relief gets me every time! Love this movie!!

The Planetarium in Chicago has an Apollo exhibit "narrated" by Lovell and it had some props from the filming of the movie including this marker used (and signed) by Ron Howard.
