Arizona boy bound for recovery ship after Apollo 17 splashdown
Twelve year old Kevin Steen of Cave Creek Arizona, long frail from cancer, will be aboard the USS Ticonderoga to greet the Apollo 17 astronauts on their Pacific splashdown. Doctors had said he would die within weeks two years ago but his will to live and dreams of becoming an astronaut energize him. He plans to fly to Hawaii December 15 and Samoa to meet the Ticonderoga before returning home December 20.
