John Young The ascent stage after the Lunar Module's return from the Moon 23 May 1969 Vintage chromogenic print on fibre-based paper, 20.5 x 25.2 cm (8 x 10 in), [NASA photo no AS10-34-5112], with A KODAK PAPER watermark on the verso Footnotes: The primary mission of the crew was to fly the LM within fifty thousand feet of the Moon's surface in order to inspect landing site 2 on the Sea of Tranquillity, tentatively selected as the landing spot for Apollo 11. The LM came to within 15.6 km of the lunar surface. This rehearsal, which was planned to follow the schedule for the Apollo 11 as closely as possible, actually took more than six and a half hours from the beginning of the descent until both spacecraft had docked for the second time for crew transfer back to the CSM.
