8x10 PHOTO, , Signed by APOLLO 13 FLIGHT CONTROLLER, JERRY BOSTICK. AS13-59-8562 (17 April 1970) --- This view of the Apollo 13 Lunar Module (LM) was photographed from the Command Module (CM) just after the LM had been jettisoned.

The apparent explosion of oxygen tank number two in the Apollo 13 Service Module (SM) caused the Apollo 13 crew members to rely on the LM as a "lifeboat". He was a member of the Apollo 13 Rescue Team, Failure is not an Option.
