2:18Now PlayingEd Smylie, the NASA engineer who helped save the lives of the Apollo 13 crew, has died at 95. In dramatic moments made famous by the 1995 Academy Award-winning movie of the same name, Smylie and his team of colleagues were tasked with building an air filter that could address the carbon dioxide buildup in the Apollo 13’s command module. His design, which used cardboard, plastic bags and duct tape, was crucial for the astronauts' survival. Sunday TODAY’s Willie Geist remembers a life well lived.
