Apollo 14 was the eighth manned mission in the Apollo Program. The third mission to land on the moon. This mission was a two day stay on the lunar surface and carried out two EVAs. Commanded by Alan Shepard, Command Module Pilot Stuart Rossa, and Lunar Module Pilot Edgar Mitchell. During the two lunar EVAs, 42.80 kilograms of moon rock samples was collected.
The Saturn V was a human-rated expendable rocket used by NASA between 1967 and 1973. Most notably, the Saturn V took the Apollo program to the Moon. It still remains the world's tallest, heaviest, and most powerful rocket ever brought to operational status and is the only launch vehicle to take humans beyond LEO.
