Commander John Young leaps
up from the lunar surface to salute the U.S. flag during the first Apollo
16 extravehicular activity. The Lunar Module and Rover are on the left
and Stone Mountain is in the background. Young and Charles Duke spent
20 hours exploring the surface of the moon after their lunar landing on
the Plain of Descartes on April 20, 1972. They collected 213 lbs. of lunar
material and performed geophysical
studies using a magnetometer and seismometer. NASA
