A news segment from NMás on the 50th anniversary of Apollo 14. The mission launched on January 31, 1971, with Alan Shepard, Edgar Mitchell, and Stuart Roosa, and landed on the Moon on the 5th.
Shepard and Mitchell made two moonwalks of about 4.8 and 4.6 hours, set up a scientific station, and collected 42 kilos of rocks and soil. Roosa stayed in the command and service module. They left a package containing a microfilm Bible on the surface, and at the end of the second moonwalk, Shepard hit two golf balls with an improvised club.
The report recalls that Shepard was the first American in space, in 1961, and that the mission ended on February 9 after 34 lunar orbits.
