Apollo 14: Fra Mauro

On the Moon: Al Shepard and Edgar Mitchell

In lunar orbit: Stuart Roosa

TIME SINCE LAUNCH 135:08:17

— Houston, while you're looking that up, you might recognize what I have in my hand is the handle for the contingency sample return; it just so happens to have a genuine six iron on the bottom of it. In my left hand, I have a little white pellet that's familiar to millions of Americans. I'll drop it down. Unfortunately, the suit is so stiff, I can't do this with two hands, but I'm going to try a little sand-trap shot here. — You got more dirt than ball that time. — Got more dirt than ball. Here we go again. — That looked like a slice to me, Al. — Here we go. Straight as a die; one more. [Silence] — Miles and miles and miles.

"An artist's concept depicting the Apollo 14 Command and Service Modules (CSM) circling the moon as the Lunar Module (LM) heads toward a lunar landing. While astronaut Stuart A. Roosa, command module pilot, remains with the CSM in lunar orbit, astronauts Alan B. Shepard Jr., commander; and Edgar D. Mitchell, lunar module pilot, will descend in the LM to explore an area in the rugged Fra Mauro highlands."

Apollo 14 on the Moon - December 9th, 1995.

"The glare from the Sun reflects off the lunar module of the Apollo 14 mission to the Moon as it rests on the lunar surface in February of 1971. Astronauts Alan Shepard and Edgar Mitchell walked on the Moon's surface while astronaut Stuart Roosa piloted the orbiting command module. Coming only months after the abortive Apollo 13 mission, Apollo 14 was famous for long exploratory Moon walks, collecting samples of lunar bedrock from Cone Crater, deploying the Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package, and hitting golf balls. The slope rising to the rim of Cone Crater is visible at the left edge of the photo."

Apollo 14 on the Moon … February 5, 1971, lunar EVA image showing Apollo 14 commander Alan Shepard, standing near the MET = Modularized Equipment Transporter, and LMP Edgar Mitchell, in the background working at a sub-package of the ALSEP  = Apollo Lunar Surface Experiments Package. Note the cuff checklist on Shepard’s wrist and his NASA-issued Omega Speedmaster 145.012 chronograph on his left forearm. The red bands on the arms & legs of the A7LB spacesuit, distinguished the commander from the Lunar Module Pilot. These red stripes were introduced after Apollo 12, as post-flight Moonwalkers Bean & Conrad had difficulties identifying themselves on lunar surface photographs. Apollo 14 CMP Stuart Roosa and LMP Edgar Mitchell took their personal Rolex GMT-master 1675 pilot watch onboard their Moonflight. Apollo 14 Moonwalkers, Shepard and Mitchell conducted two lunar EVAs, the first 600 m westwards from LM and a second 2900 m roundtrip eastwards from the Lunar Module Antares. They stayed 33 hours on the lunar surface and collected 42 kilograms Moon rocks & samples. (Photo: NASA)

[x-15]

nobody's pointed this out, so i will: i think the red stripes are reminiscent of the commander stripes they gave apollo astronauts on later missions

(pictured: david scott, commander of apollo 15, and the entire crew of apollo 14: CMP Stuart Roosa, CDR Alan Shepard, and LMP Ed Mitchell)

but we can get *more* niche into Apollo history! Jim Lovell, commander of Apollo 13, had a special helmet for lunar EVA, to signify his navy service. famously, he never got to wear it on the lunar surface. but it's really similar to the design of skyfire's helmet as pictured above!

maybe the snoopy cap theory is more likely because this one's pretty out there, but it would be really cool.

Screaming bc I realized Skyfire looks like an astronaut!!! LOOK

His helm is shaped like the snoopy cap

AND

THE BIG BACKPACK! And the same marshmallow hands too djdkzhjz

Idk if it's intentional, but I absolutely adore it.

Working on Chapter 30 of 75 Years

For the Victors' Statuses as of the end of the 30th Hunger Games, and let's just say every Victor before the 22nd Hunger Games except Lucy Grey Baird is a parent to at least one child. Basically the current Victor Breakdown is like this:

Pre-Dark Days born Victors: Edgar, Virgil, Ginny, Horsa, Mmseyone, Paris, Chive, Samson, Hestia, Lucy Grey, Mags, Tammy and Molly.

Dark Days born Victors: Dinah and Kronos.

Volumnia Gaul Era Victors: Woof, Bailey, Maxmillian, Imogen, Caelus, Alexei, Helios, Rachel, Huyen, Eric, Aaron, Rheneas, Taliesin, Skarloey and Victoria.

So far, two sets of siblings have won the Games, Paris and Hestia Curl and the Rowe brothers. The latter is the reason why Victors cannot Mentor relatives. Two Victors are Second-Generation: Taliesin Georges and Victoria Curl, which will result in a 27-year gap of Second-Generation Victors.

Have you heard of Moon Trees?

They are trees that grew from very special seeds: Stuart Roosa carried hundreds of them in his personal kit when he orbited the Moon in 1971 with the Apollo 14 mission. After returning back to Earth, the seeds were germinated and planted across the US and even across the world.

Apollo 14 (January 31, 1971 – February 9, 1971) was the eighth crewed mission in the United States Apollo program, the third to land on the Moon, and the first to land in the lunar highlands.

[astronotmovie]

A relaxed astronaut. Stuart Roosa takes a moment during preparations for Apollo 14, Jan 1971. Mr. Roosa flew ‘Kitty Hawk’, the Command Module for the mission & orbited the moon 34 times as crew mates Edgar Mitchell & Alan Shephard walked on the moon. Roosa was 1 of 19 astronauts chosen in Group 5 by NASA in 1966. Following A14, he served as backup Command Module Pilot for Apollo 16 & 17.
