The Moon is an average distance of 240,000 mi from Earth so the #Apollo15 astronauts' journey took about 3 days. Rather than sitting idly during this time, the astronauts prepped for a lunar landing. How would you occupy your time on a journey to the Moon? https://t.co/BPj99dyK1V
50 years ago, Apollo 15 astronauts used the Apollo Lunar Surface Drill to gather geological samples for the first time.
Now, under #Artemis, the Regolith and Ice Drill for Exploring New Terrain (TRIDENT) will be the key to locating ice on the Moon. 🔱 https://t.co/vyhwF2zitI
