In the emotional Instagram post, Howard, who directed the 1995 about Lovell's saga, celebrated the astronaut's “intellect, courage and commitment to duty.”
The news of Lovell’s death was announced by NASA itself, which also reflected on the hero’s many achievements. “From a pair of pioneering Gemini missions to the successes of Apollo, Jim helped our nation forge a historic path in space that carries us forward to upcoming Artemis missions to the Moon and beyond,” acting NASA Administrator Sean Duffy wrote.

Actor Tom Hanks, who played Lovell in the infamous film, also shared a tribute to the hero. Reflecting on Lovell’s fearlessness and bravery, Hanks wrote, “There are people who dare, who dream, and who lead others to the places we would not go on our own. Jim Lovell… was that kind of guy.”
“On this night of a full Moon, he passes on – to the heavens, to the cosmos, to the stars,” Hanks concluded. “God speed you, on this next voyage, Jim Lovell.”
To honor Lovell’s legacy and the film’s enduring impact, the 30th anniversary re-release of Apollo 13 will begin in IMAX theaters on September 19, 2025.
