Description

James Lovell Signed Apollo 13 White Spacesuit Color Photo, with Added Comments. An 8" x 10" silk finish photo on Kodak Professional paper of Lovell in his spacesuit posed with a moon globe against a starry background. He has boldly signed in blue felt tip: "Houston, we have a Problem,/ James Lovell/ Apollo 13". Excellent.

The line "Houston, we have a problem" became famous through popular media, especially the 1995 film "Apollo 13" starring Tom Hanks as Lovell. The movie used a slightly altered version of the actual quote ("Houston, we've had a problem"), which stuck in the public imagination as shorthand for any unexpected crisis or malfunction.
