>Stuart Roosa
iirc he got cucked out of doing a deep space EVA because everyone shat bricks after Apollo 13
other Apollo 14 dirt:
>Back on the surface, the moonwalkers returned to the lander, but just before climbing onboard, Shepard pulled out a 6-iron golf club head he’d smuggled on board.
>He attached it to the handle of his lunar excavation tool and proceeded to take a couple of drives. “There it goes,” said Shepard. “Miles and miles and miles.”
>This didn’t go over at all well with the scientific community. While lining up his swing, Shepard had put down a canister of photographs documenting several of the rock samples they’d collected, and he forgot to pick it up afterwards.
>Not only had the geology teams missed out on getting the samples from the rim of crater Cone, they now lacked the documentation that would really let them exploit the scientific usefulness of the ones they did have.
>The feelings of ill-will only grew when Mitchell, upon his return to Earth, publicly announced that he’d conducted an unofficial pseudoscience experiment, attempting to psychically transmit messages back to Earth.
