Additional Risks. If all continued to go well, the mission would take ten days -two days more than the voyage of Apollo 11. Conrad would attempt a pinpoint landing only a few hundred feet from the resting place of Surveyor 3, the unmanned moon probe that soft-landed on the lunar surface April 19. 1967. He and Bean would stroll for as long as 74 hours on the moon and collect up to 75 lbs. of lunar rock. Most important, Apollo 12 would leave behind a more sophisticated array of sensitive instruments than those left by Apollo 11. Powered...
Exquisite Precision. More than pride is involved in the accomplishment of a pinpoint landing. If Intrepid touches down too far from its target crater, Conrad and Bean may not have enough oxygen in their back-up life-support packs for the planned walk to the Surveyor spacecraft. An inaccurate landing would also affect plans for next spring's scheduled Apollo 13 visit to a highlands area near Crater Fra Mauro. Before as tronauts risk landing in such a rugged area, NASA officials must be convinced that a lunar module can be set down on a selected segment...
...Kydes' greatest asset is his amazing ability to create dangerous situations with head-shots. In all the Crimson's games this season. Kydes has demonstrated the best pinpoint accuracy with his head...

Each feature was charted in color on a separate transparent map. When McHarg superimposed all the maps atop each other, he saw, shining through the colors, a thin line of white that marked the highway's optimum route. Later he used the same method to pinpoint exactly where different land uses should occur with "the least costs and greatest savings and benefits on all of Staten Island...
