50th anniversary of APOLLO 14 (1971-2021)

In 2021 we will celebrate the 50th anniversary of two moon flights: APOLLO 14 and APOLLO 15.

With this anniversary pic, I remember to the 3rd manned landing on the moon, the spaceflight APOLLO 14.
Launched on January, 31st, 1971 in Cape Kennedy (Florida, U.S.A.), the crew of Commander Alan B. Shephard, Jr. (1923-1998), Lunar Module Pilot Edgar D. Mitchell (1930-2016) and Command Module Pilot Stuart A. Roosa (1933-1994), flew with the command module "Kitty Hawk" to the moon.
On February, 5th, 1971, Alan B. Shepard and Edgar D. Mitchell landed with the Lunar Module "Antares" on the moon, while their fellow Stuart Roosa waited in the Command Module in the moon orbit for their return. At 14.54 UTC, Alan B. Shepard, Jr. stepped as 5th man on the moon; Edgar D. Mitchell followed him 4 minutes later. Both astronauts stayed at 2 EVA`s for 9 hours 22 minutes on the moon surface for explorations and collecting moon rock. On February, 6th, 1971, "Antares" lifted off from the moon, docked with "Kitty Hawk" and the crew returned to earth on February, 9th, 1971.

Because of the 50th anniversary of this spaceflight this year, I made also a movie about the mission of APOLLO 14. You will find this movie here:
