"Houston, we have a problem..."
Itâs the phrase heard âround the world (too often, for many Houstoniansâ liking), thanks to a thrilling performance from Americaâs sweetheart, Thomas Jeffrey Hanks, in Ron Howardâs cinematic masterpiece
Apollo 13. Though Hanksâs famous line, along with the movie as a whole, featured a few, teensy creative liberties, the real world mission and its many heroes continue to receive stunning memorials half a century after the conclusion of their epic journey.
