WALT DISNEY'S WONDERFUL WORLD OF COLOR (NBC, 7:30-8:30 p.m.). Zoologist Henry Del Guidice and the crew of his schooner track a giant sea turtle across 1,500 miles of open sea to study its navigational ability in "Solomon, the Sea Turtle...
...moon is essentially grey, no color," Astronaut Lovell reported. "Looks like plaster of paris, or sort of a greyish deep sand. We can see quite a bit of detail.

The round ones look like they've been hit by meteorites or projectiles of some sort. Langrenus is quite a huge crater. It's got a central cone to it. The walls...
...orbit, the astronauts had their work cut out for them. During their second revolution of the moon, they briefly fired their SPS engine to change their orbit from a 70-by-194-mile-high ellipse to a near-perfect 70-mile circle. Using an assortment of cameras, they shot color and black-and-white movie and still pictures of the lunar landscape and of the distant earth. Firing their 100-lb.-thrust control jets, they continually changed the attitude of the spacecraft so that its four-dish, high-gain TV and radio antenna remained pointed directly at the earth...

His color television set just broadcasts wobbles. His Icarus act fizzles when the rockets tied to his back go off piecemeal and get pointed the wrong way, driving him only horizontally...
