Hit a golf ball in low gravity. But how far will it go? Find out in this engaging STEM/STEAM picture book -- Tee Time on the Moon: How Astronaut Alan Shepard Played Lunar Golf 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. While the world watched on TV, Shepard and Edgar Mitchell gathered rock and soil samples wearing stiff, heavy spacesuits. But Alan Shepard had a secret hidden in his sock: two tiny golf balls. Golf was Shepard's favourite sport. And since the Moon has virtually no atmosphere and gravity that is only a fraction of the Earth's, a golf ball should have been able to go far. But did it? Here's the little-known but true story of an experiment that may have started as a stunt but made people think differently about the Moon, ask questions, and look for answers. Fascinating, informative, playful and incredibly thought-provoking.

Packed tighter than a sardine in the one-man Freedom 7 capsule, 37-year-old Alan Shepard couldn’t wait any longer. His mission – which originally was going to make Shepard the first human in space – had already been delayed weeks, allowing Yuri Gagarin and the Russians to beat him in blasting off for the stars. Now, in his fourth hour sitting [...]

Frost (1874-1963) was a poet who strung words together so beautifully. Like the ones below.Stopping by Woods on a Snowy EveningWhose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village though; He will not see me stopping here To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer To stop without a farmhouse near Between the woods and frozen lake The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake To ask if there is some mistake. The only other sound’s the sweep Of easy wind and downy flake. The woods are lovely, dark and deep. But I have promises to keep, And miles to go before I sleep, And miles to go before I sleep.
He was the first American in space, the first golf-player on the moon — and oh yes, there was a little problem with peeing in his spacesuit.
NASA's landmark facility on the Florida coast has been sending rockets and astronauts into space for a half-century. We take a look back at some of the early missions.
