Apollo 15 launch prompts thoughts of new lunar exploration
Apollo 16 Commander David R. Scott argues the final two missions will probe new lunar areas for data rather than return to prior sites. He compares lunar travel to Columbus seeking new lands, not repeating Earth voyages, and notes weather forecasts predict a clear, breezy July morning for a July 26 launch with low lightning risk.

Apollo 15 to be heaviest moon mission launched
Apollo 15 will be the heaviest craft launched toward the moon with 116,445 pounds at launch and 107,243 pounds after earth orbit departure. Saturn V will adjust to a lower parking orbit, burn longer in first stage, and carry enhanced cooling, oxygen, and power for longer surface EVA. Moonwalkers David Scott and James Irwin will use a more comfortable suit with improved neck and waist joints for mobility and rock collection.
