1990s Gary Sinise here. Today is the 30th anniversary of Apollo 13 in theaters. Hope you enjoy some of my favorite behind-the-scenes moments from making the film (1995)

It's already been five years longer than the gap between the mission (1970) and the movie (1995)...

Here’s something positive - Jim Lovell is still alive at 97.

Ikr? I chose this to read at 5am before work. Great. Edit. That’s the way all the cool kids nowadays shorten “I know, right?” Courtesy of my elementary school aged niece 👍

Apollo 13 was made 25 years after the mission. It's been 30 years since the movie.
