Space veteran Shepard, once grounded by Meniere’s syndrome, returns to aviation and space efforts. The Navy captain shifts to administration, real estate, and banking while pursuing a fresh crew assignment, balancing Houston life with Lake Travis getaways and a renewed push toward spaceflight.
Mitchell, Navy commander and MIT space guidance expert, expresses immense excitement about piloting the Apollo 14 mission to the moon with Shepard. He highlights the technical feats and personal discipline involved, plans to be at Cape Kennedy with his wife Louise and two daughters, and notes his long preparation in simulators and space vehicle control.
UPI reports Stuart Roosa, Apollo 14 command module pilot, plans to fly alone in a two day solo orbit while Shepard and Mitchell descend to the lunar surface. Roosa focuses on photography and observation experiments, expecting to reach 4000 hours jet time in training.
