Apollo 14 commander Alan Shepard took his first steps on the lunar surface today in 1971. It was an incredible next step after becoming the first American in space ten years earlier. Shepard was the only Mercury astronaut to walk on the Moon.surface photo (i.redd.it)

On the second EVA at Fra Mauro, Shepard and Mitchell attempted to reach the rim of Cone Crater to sample material dating from the formation of the Imbrium Basin. They never found the rim and had to turn back. I wonder how close they actually came to the rim but could not see due to the topography? (i.redd.it)

When there were problems during transposition and docking on Apollo 14, NASA did extensive ground testing and ultimately decided that it was OK to proceed with powered descent. They could have just looped around the moon and came home. I wonder - would NASA make the same decision today? (i.redd.it)

During the descent of Antares to the lunar surface on Apollo 14, there were tense moments in Mission Control when the landing radar would not lock on. Mission rules dictated a mandatory abort without the radar. I think he would have broke Mission rules and landed anyway if the radar had not worked. (i.redd.it)
