Seconds later everyone wondered where. "I don't know what happened here," Conrad said excitedly. "We had everything in the world drop out." Inside the spacecraft, as it passed through the dark clouds. Astronauts Conrad, Richard Gordon and Alan Bean had been bathed in a sudden, brilliant flash. Immediately, red and yellow warning lights began blinking on the command module's instrument panels. All three fuel cells had stopped working; alternating-current circuits were dead, and the electrically operated gyroscopic platform that allows the astronauts to measure their attitude and velocity was tumbling out of control. There...
...Clipper separated faultlessly from the S-4B, turned to dock with the lunar module Intrepid and extract it from the rocket's nose. Locked together, the two craft proceeded on a long coast to the moon. Before they bedded down for their first night in space, Conrad and Bean made an unscheduled inspection of Intrepid while Astronaut Gordon remained at the controls of the command module. To their relief, the LM's electronic gear had also withstood the sudden pulse of current. By now the astronauts were in such high spirits that they asked Mission Control to replay...
Later yesterday, the astronauts-Pete Conrad and Alan Bean-did land, picked up some rocks, and broke their television camera by pointing...
During their 32-hour moon visit, Conrad and Bean will take two walks, each lasting about four hours. Back on earth, television viewers will see all this in color. Following the advice of the Apollo 11 crew, the two astronauts will perform their own moon dance to get the feel of one-sixth gravity.

Then Skipper Charles ("Pete") Conrad, 39, and Space Rookie Alan Bean, 37, will board the module Intrepid for their trip to the moon's surface. While his fellow astronauts explore the Sea of Storms 69 miles below, Gemini Veteran Richard F. Gordon Jr., 40, will spend a lonely day and a half in orbit...
