AN EVENING WITH: APOLLO 16 LUNAR MODULE PILOT
&
10th MAN TO WALK ON THE MOON
GENERAL CHARLES MOSS DUKE

Apollo 16, April 16th - April 27th 1972 was the fifth manned lunar landing mission. The crew consisted of John W Young as spacecraft commander, Ken Mattingly as command module pilot, and Charles M Duke as lunar module pilot.
Apollo 16 was the first scientific expedition to inspect, survey, and sample materials and surface features in the Descartes region of the rugged lunar highlands. Duke commenced a record setting lunar surface stay of 71 hours and 14 minutes. Lunar Module Orion landed on the rough Cayley Plains. In three subsequent excursions onto the moon's surface, Duke logged 20 hours and 15 minutes of lunar EVA time involving the emplacement and activation of scientific equipment and experiments, the collection of nearly (96kg) of rock and soil samples, and the evaluation and use of the Lunar Roving Vehicle over the roughest and blockiest surface yet encountered on the moon.
