Apollo 16 moon landing of Young and Duke marked by delayed start
Apollo 16 astronauts John Young and Charles Duke landed on the moon after engine trouble aboard Casper delayed the mission. They planned three seven hour moon walks and a mobile TV antenna to relay footage, with a nuclear science station goal and a moon car tour to inspect craters Spook and Flag. Mission Control shortened the plan to fit the delay and kept Orion powered for a 73 hour stay, plus a longer lunar orbit sequence.
