Summary:
In 1971, Alan Shepard and his fellow astronauts made their way to the Moon in the cramped Apollo 14 capsule. Their mission: Study the moon in more detail than ever before. But Alan Shepard had a secret hidden in his sock: two tiny golf balls. Here's the little-known but true story of an experiment that may have started as a stunt, but ended up making people think differently about the moon, ask questions, and look for answers.

 Illustrator: Fotheringham, Edwin
