Apollo 16 - Nothing So Hidden

Produced by the Houston-based A-V Corporation for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, this government film chronicles Apollo 16, the fifth manned mission to land on the Moon. Launched from John F. Kennedy Space Center on April 16, 1972, Apollo 16 was the second of the “J missions,” which involved a three-day stay on the surface of the Moon and multiple moonwalks. This film provides an unbelievable firsthand look of the mission, with the majority of the footage coming from cameras fixed to the Apollo spacecraft and its associated equipment. After landing on the Moon on April 21, Commander John Young and Lunar Module Pilot Charles Duke take the Lunar Roving Vehicle for a spin. Upon re-docking with the Command and Service Module, the crew releases a subsatellite into lunar orbit. Their mission complete, the astronauts return to Earth on April 27.
