“An American Success Story shows Astronaut John
Young in April of 1972 as he stood proudly on the moon,”
says artist Alan Bean,“but for a while, it didn’t look like he
and Charlie Duke would even land. Orbiting the moon in
their lunar module preparing for descent, a call came
reporting an oscillation in the backup steering system.
They knew that this might force them to return to earth as
soon as possible. If the systems failed, the Apollo 16 and
her crew would orbit the moon forever.
Immediately, mission control was alerted. Could they
determine if oscillations would prevent the backup steering
system from doing its job? Records were searched and
tests conducted, in less than six hours the results were in:
the mission could continue.We all breathed a collective
sigh of relief. John Young would say later,“It was a cliff-
hanger, but the ground crew really came through, putting
us right back in the ball game.”
