The Missions of Apollo A-103 & Pegasus 1 - OTD 1965

Artist adds touch of moon (tree) dust for Apollo 14 50th anniversary

Shepard put golf on the moon 50 years ago. Apollo 14 commander Alan Shepard and his crew brought back about 90 pounds of moon rocks on Feb. 6, 1971. Left behind were two golf balls that Shepard, who later described the moon's surface as "one big sand trap," hit with a makeshift 6-iron.
