Apollo 16, the next-to-last in NASA’s Apollo program and second of three science-focused missions, lifted off from Cape Canaveral on April 16, 1972. On April 20, a lunar module carrying astronauts John W. Young and Charles M. Duke, Jr. touched down on the edge of the Descartes Mountains three hours late after an initial wave off (the program’s first). The two astronauts spent 71 hours, 2 minutes on the lunar surface, traversing 26.7 kilometers (16.6 miles) in a Lunar Roving Vehicle. It took several weeks, however, before photos from the EVAs were publicly available. An image of Duke standing near the parked rover finally made it onto the cover of our May 8 edition. Young wasn’t featured on the cover, but he was back in the spotlight nine years later as the commander of the first space shuttle mission. |
