...beginning of the week during the third and final EVA (extravehicular activity) by Young and Duke on the plains of Descartes. With helpful navigational guidance from Houston, 240,000 miles away, the astronauts drove their $12 million moon cart to the very rim of a large feature called North Ray Crater, some three miles away from the lunar lander, Orion. As the rover's television camera followed them, they threaded their way down North Ray's steep slopes, going deeper into a large crater than any of the eight previous moon walkers. Inside the crater wall, they chipped...

...large variety of rocks and boulders, some as big as 10 ft. across, glistening in shades of white and pink and gray. "All we have to do is jump out the hatch and we've got plenty of rocks," exclaimed Duke. The astronauts also reported brilliantly gleaming ray patterns -splashes of material gouged from the moon's interior by meteorite impacts -and telltale layering on the face of a hillside to the south. "Man, it really looks nice out there," said Duke. "I'm like a little kid on Christmas...
...effects of weightlessness (see MEDICINE). The strange potion did not seem to bother him on the second moon walk, when the astronauts took more core samples, picked up rocks, and pushed over a large boulder to collect soil from underneath it (so scientists can compare the effects of cosmic-ray bombardment on varying soil samples). They drove the rover several hundred feet up Stone Mountain and, after parking it on what they thought was a dangerously steep slope, they simply picked it up and put it down in a more secure spot...
...solid Nixon Republican who stands 6 ft. 3 in., Jody has already caught the eye of Midwestern politicians. Although Governor Robert Ray was in Spain when Jody was inaugurated, he sent a congratulatory wire. Of course nobody is prouder of Jody's achievement than his fun-loving father Elmer ("They call me toothless Elmer"), whose gas station bears such puckish legends as ELMER'S GYP JOINT and GOD BLESS THIS MORTGAGED STATION...
