Apollo 14

Apol­lo 14 is the 8th crewed Apol­lo mis­sion and the 3 land­ing.  The mis­sion land­ed at the Fra Mau­ro High­lands.  The mis­sion last­ed 9 days and rep­re­sent­ed the first mis­sion after Apol­lo 13 acci­dent that scrubbed the landing.

I wrote a short arti­cle about Apol­lo 14 in 2022.

The land­ing site for Apol­lo 14 is cen­tral in my short sto­ry Golf and Out­gassing, a sto­ry about a return mis­sion to the Moon.  This land­ing becomes an impor­tant con­sid­er­a­tion in my upcom­ing nov­el Mask of the Joy­ful Moon.
