"...really a rugged planet..." - John Young, Washington Post, 5-12-69

At its low point, the Lunar Module was 50,000 feet from the lunar surface, travelling at almost 3700 miles per hour - "barnstorming the moon".

"You've got to see this planet to believe it."
- John Young, Washington Post, 5-12-69

"Boy, Charlie, I never saw nothing like that. We - when we came - when we came around on the back side, seems like the colors are different on the back side - more - more light than they are on the front side. Primarily because of the mare."
- John Young, speaking to Capcom, Charlie Duke, New York Times, 5-12-69
