Mission notes: *Shepard smuggled a makeshift golf club and golf ball to the moon, and took a swing. He claimed the ball "went a mile" in the lunar gravity, but this was unlikely. *Mitchell conducted some unauthorized extra-sensory perception experiments while en route to the Moon, with friends back on Earth; the number of correct guesses were reportedly less than would have been obtained by random chance. *Shepard and Mitchell used a wheeled cart to transport samples. They hiked to the rim of a large nearby crater, but were unable to distinguish landmarks easily and turned back without seeing the crater itself. |
