Apollo 14: ‘A Wild Place Up Here’

Apollo 14 was the eighth crewed Apollo mission and the third to land on the Moon. On January 31, 1971, Apollo 14 launched from Kennedy Space Center with a crew of commander Alan B. Shepard, command module pilot Stuart A. Roosa, and lunar module pilot Edgar D. Mitchell.
The crew experienced challenges in docking with the lunar module Antares and six attempts were required before a "hard dock" was achieved.
On February 5, 1971, Antares made the most precise landing to date in the hilly uplands of the Fra Mauro crater.
Shepard and Mitchell spent a total of 33.5 hours on the Moon and performed two extra-vehicular activities (EVAs, or “moonwalks”), totaling 9 hours and 23 minutes. During the first EVA, they deployed several science experiments. Among these was a reflector that continues to be used to measure the distance from the Earth to the Moon. They also deployed a seismometer, which detected thousands of moonquakes and helped to determine the structure of the Moon’s interior. Other instruments measured the composition of the solar wind and the Moon’s tenuous atmosphere and plasma environment. Shepard and Mitchell collected 95 pounds of lunar rock and soil samples.
The command module Kitty Hawk splashed down safely on February 9, 1971, exactly nine days and two minutes after launch. The mission duration from liftoff to splashdown was 216 hours, two minutes.

Imagine a corner of a room where the floor and the two walls are covered with flat mirrors. Here's the cool thing: no matter the orientation of a laser beam, if it hits any one of those mirrors, then after getting reflected by the other 2, one at a time, the beam comes back exactly the same orientation as the incident beam but propagating back to the source.

[@brianarbenz1329]

I agree with Andy Burk. I was 12 when Al and Ed walked on the moon in January 1971, and the technology back then was so crude that we didn’t hear about the mission until months later when the town crier got word from the messenger on horseback.

If this was on the moon and the sun was the only source of light, the shadows would all be in the same direction. The two small rocks have a shadow from light to the right, the lander and post have shadows about 45 degrees to that and the astronaut's shadow is at 90 degrees to the rocks. It looks like the caption still was photoshopped as a composite because if there were three sources of light, the shadows would overlap.

[@Agarwaen]

if the sun is the only source of light, there would be only a single shadow per object.. and there is only a single shadow per object. if shadows that you claim goes in different directions due to multiple light sources did so.. those objects would have multiple shadows. you literally point out that you know nothing.

[@UpperDarbyDetailing]

Incorrect. The shadows would not be in the same direction. There’s a little something called perspective. Dave Mckeegan did a whole video in that specific topic.

[@brianarbenz1329]

Al referring to himself as “an old man” points to a fascinating fact about moon missions. Al Shepherd was the 5th person to walk on the moon, but the first not born in 1930. He was born in 1922. Armstrong, Aldrin, Pete Conrad and Alan Bean were all born in 1930 - as was Shepherd’s crew mate Ed Mitchell, who was the 6th moon walker. Five of the first six born the same year. Long odds of that.
