HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO APOLLO 12



Thirty-five years ago today, with Command Module Pilot Dick Gordon orbiting 60miles above in Yankee Clipper, Commander Charles "Pete" Conrad Jr., and Lunar Module Pilot turned Lunar Artist Al Bean set their Lunar Module Intrepid down in the Oceanus Procellarum (Ocean of Storms) making Apollo 12 the second manned lunar mission.
