UNSPECIFIED - JANUARY 31: Al Shepard with the core tube and extension handle. He is holding the hammer in his right hand and has a pair of tongs tethered to his waist at the left side, with the handle on the outside of his left hip. Astronauts Edgar Mitchell, Alan Shepard and Stuart Roosa were the crew for the third successful lunar landing mission. Apollo 14 was launched from Kennedy Space Centre, Florida, its mission to furnish additional knowledge of the Moon and its history. Shepard and Mitchell became the fifth and sixth men to walk on the lunar surface, and Shepard the first to hit a golf ball on the Moon. (Photo by SSPL/Getty Images)
