Apollo 14
Shepard's lunar voyage
Apollo 14 was the third crewed Moon landing, a NASA mission in early 1971 that landed astronauts Alan Shepard and Edgar Mitchell in the Fra Mauro highlands while Stuart Roosa orbited above.
The mission is remembered for Shepard hitting golf balls on the lunar surface and for being the first landing after the near-disaster of Apollo 13.
