Apollo 16 mission details face collision of cost and science
Geologists anticipate major findings from Apollo 16 as NASA readies the next to last manned moon mission. Three astronauts led by Navy Captain John W. Young will launch at 9:15 a.m. PST, travel to Descartes highlands, study the Cayley and Descartes formations, and return for a splashdown on April 28. The mission costs around 45 million dollars, or about 4.20 dollars per American taxpayer, fueling debate over the value of lunar exploration versus living costs.
