Description: Just four months after Apollo 11, NASA astronauts returned to the surface of the Moon with Apollo 12. This government film covers the success of the mission, from the precision of its landing and the objectives of subsequent extravehicular activity to the rendezvous with the Command Module and splashdown on Earth. Next, it previews Apollo 13, introducing the primary crew and highlighting equipment still in development. Finally, the report details briefing charts about the integrated space program, also known as the Integrated Program Plan, that would take shape between 1970 and 1990. The charts include designs for what became the Skylab and Space Shuttle spacecraft.
