Apollo 14 was the eighth crewed mission in the United States Apollo program, the third to land on the Moon, and the first to land in the lunar highlands. Completed by Commander Alan Shepard and Lunar Module Pilot Edgar Mitchell, the nine-day mission included a 33 1/2 hour visit to the lunar surface, during which Shepard hit two golf balls, the second of which he exuberantly exclaimed went "miles and miles and miles" in the low lunar gravity.
