A seventh landing mission, the 1970 Apollo 13 flight, failed in transit to the Moon when an oxygen tank explosion disabled the command spacecraft's propulsion and life support, forcing the crew to use the Lunar Module as a " lifeboat " for these functions to return to Earth safely.

Apollo 16 was slated to be the second of the " J-missions ," an Apollo mission type featuring the use of the Lunar Roving Vehicle ( LRV ), increased scientific capability, and lunar surface stays of three days.

In addition to field geology training, the astronauts also participated in training for the use of the spacesuits, adapting to the reduced lunar gravity, landing and recovery post-mission, sample collecting, maneuvering in the Lunar Roving Vehicle, survival training and preparation for other technical aspects of the mission.

This was a Block I design meant for systems testing, not the Block II spacecraft designed for use with the Lunar Module ( LM ) on the actual Moon landings.

The exchange with the second parallel universe both produces more energy at little or no cost ( which is a pleasant side effect for the Lunar residents, who had been unable to establish electron pumps ), and balances out the changes from the use of the Electron Pump, resulting in a return to equilibrium.

For the manned space flight program, Goddard develops tools for use by astronauts during extra-vehicular activity, and operates the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, a spacecraft designed to study the Moon in preparation for future manned exploration.

Also, Exalted uses different Abilities to WoD games, which are not divided physical / mental / social, but rather by the caste of the character ( the only exception to this is Lunar Exalted, who instead divide attributes by caste and use the physical / mental / social dividers for abilities.

As LRO and LCROSS send back high-resolution data, the Lunar Mapping and Modeling project will use those data to develop detailed topographic maps of the lunar surface.

On 30 April 1979 the Final Report " Lunar Resources Utilization for Space Construction " by General Dynamics Convair Division under NASA contract NAS9-15560 concluded that use of Lunar resources would be cheaper than terrestrial materials for a system comprising as few as thirty Solar Power Satellites of 10 GW capacity each.
