The site was chosen to allow the astronauts to gather geologically older lunar material than the samples obtained in three of the first four Moon landings, which were in or near lunar maria. Samples from the Descartes Formation and the Cayley Formation disproved a hypothesis that the formations were volcanic in origin John Young and Charles Duke spent 71 hours on the lunar surface, during which they conducted three extra-vehicular activities or moonwalks, totaling 20 hours and 14 minutes. The pair drove the Lunar Roving Vehicle for 26.7 kilometers (16.6 mi) ========================================= A special thanks to the channel supporters ( ): Asbjørn Bill Hurley Darcy Barrett Ellie Burack Francis Bernier Gary Smith Gio Pagliari Jan Strzelecki Jeff Pleimling Jules E Nathan Koga Nathan Westwick Noah Soderquist Ryan Hardy Scott Manley ======================================== #Apollo16 #moon #nasa
