After the crew returns to the mother ship, the moon module Intrepid will be sent hurtling back to the moon's surface, and the Yankee Clipper will begin the return lap of its ten-day trip...
Lonely Day. If the flight goes according to plan, the all-Navy crew will ride the nautically named Yankee Clipper into moon orbit after 83 hours in space. 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...
...incredible 31 games-and then helped his Tiger teammates to a World Series victory. But our best witness for the defense has got to be America's Cup Yachtsman Bus Mosbacher, who was on our cover in August 1967. A few weeks later, he sailed Intrepid to four straight victories for the U.S. over Australian Challenger Dame Pattie. And guess what Bus had pasted below decks to Intrepid's bulkhead? That's right. TIME'S cover...
Conrad's Parking Lot. Leaving Gemini Veteran Richard F. Gordon Jr., 40, behind in the mother ship, Conrad will descend with Space Rookie Alan Bean, 37, to the moon's surface in a lunar module called Intrepid, namesake of seven fighting ships from U.S. naval history. Conrad is so confident of Intrepid's navigational gear that he plans to fly a "heads up" approach. He will face the darkness of space until he is little more than a mile from the lunar surface; then he will pitch Intrepid forward for his first glimpse of the small, rockless...
Even the.departure from the moon will be somewhat different. Once they rejoin Yankee Clipper 69 miles overhead, Conrad and Bean will send Intrepid's ascent stage crashing into the moon rather than into a lunar orbit. This will eliminate a potential hazard to future lunar navigation as well as cause enough of a thud to give earthbound seismologists a good calibration test of the new lunar seismometer. Next, the astronauts will shoot a series of closeup photographs of the moon, using both ordinary and infra-red film to help NASA planners pick out landing sites for the remaining eight...
