Touring Europe with youngsters can be very much like running a herd of piglets through a china shop: catastrophe may lurk on every side, and there always seems to be an enormous bill waiting at the end. But it need not be that way, according to Leila Hadley, whose Fielding's Guide to Traveling with Children in Europe* has just begun to appear in bookstores. "Traveling with children," says Author Hadley, "can be as easy and inexpensive-and far more rewarding-than traveling without them." And, she adds, "It is certainly infinitely preferable to not traveling...
Like the Apollo 15 astronauts who toured the mountainous terrain near Hadley Rille last summer. Young and Duke will have the services of a lunar rover equipped with an earth-controlled color-TV camera. The rover's seat belts have been redesigned to anchor passengers more comfortably during the jouncing ride in the moon's weak gravity. The electric drilling equipment that caused Apollo 15 Astronaut Dave Scott to grunt and curse as he tried to cut into the lunar soil has been modified. Other improvements include: new foods (ham steak, fruit desserts), special drugs and liquids...
...early in the week during the second excursion by Astronauts Dave Scott and Jim Irwin. After driving past a group of craters called the South Cluster, they made their way up a 7° slope toward the mountainous Apennine Front, and approached an imposing 12,000-ft. peak called Hadley Delta. The astronauts stepped out of the rover and began to select rocks, describing each to the fascinated geologists back in the science support room in Houston. One rock looked like "green cheese"-until Scott raised his gold-tinted visor and saw that it was really gray...
After returning to the rover, Astronauts Scott and Irwin drove to Hadley Rille, a long, winding, 1,200-ft.-deep canyon whose origin has long been the subject of scientific debate. While the rover's remote-controlled TV camera followed them with its big-brotherly eye, the astronauts walked slowly down the rille's gently sloping near side. On the almost vertical far wall, they spotted at least two major layers of material. Even more interesting to the scientists in Houston was the astronauts' report that the second major layer contained at least ten subordinate layers...
...going to sleep." In fact, it came to a thunderous end. After a brief flurry of concern because of a possible hatch leak, the astronauts cut loose the lunar module's ascent stage and sent it crashing back to the moon's surface 59 miles west of Hadley Base. Its impact jiggled all three of the nuclear-powered seismometers on the moon, including the new Apollo 15 instrument. Geophysicist Gary Latham of Columbia University was delighted...
