Apollo 14

Mission Overview

The Apollo 14 mission was a critical part of NASA's lunar exploration push. Shepard became the oldest astronaut to walk on the Moon, famously hitting golf balls on the lunar surface. The engineering advances made in guidance systems, thermal protection, computing, and structural engineering defined a generation of technology. The data returning from this mission shaped planetary geology, astronomy, and solar physics, cementing its position in human technological history.
