19. Alan Shepherd on the moon - Thanks to MrFitz for correcting an earlier mistake.At age 47, and the oldest astronaut in the program, Shepard made his second space flight as commander of Apollo 14, January 31February 9, 1971, America's third successful lunar landing mission. Shepard piloted his Lunar Module Antares to the most accurate landing of the entire Apollo program. This was the first mission to broadcast color television pictures from the surface of the Moon, using the vidicon tube. While on the Moon, Shepard played golf with a Wilson six-iron head attached to a lunar sample scoop handle. Despite thick gloves and a stiff spacesuit which forced him to swing the club with one hand only, Shepard struck two golf balls, driving the second, as he jokingly put it, "miles and miles and miles."
