1972年4月, he became the youngest person ever to walk on the Moon – a record he still holds to this day. 就在三年前, he served in a critical role as part of the Mission Control team for Apollo 11, and he was later a member of the backup crew for the ill-fated Apollo 13. But in the heyday of NASA’s lunar explorations, he would eventually get his own shot at walking on the moon. As we 关闭 in on the 50th anniversary of the flight of Apollo 16, we sat down with 一般(Ret.)查理·杜克, lunar module pilot for this historic flight, to reminisce about his three-day excursion to earth’s farthest shore.
宇航员 查理·杜克 is one of the 19 astronauts selected by NASA in April 1966, and went on to serve in 5 different Apollo missions to the Moon:
- Member of the astronaut support crew for the Apollo 10
- CAPCOM for Apollo 11, the first manned landing on the Moon
- 阿波罗13号登月舱的后备飞行员
- 阿波罗16号登月舱飞行员
- 阿波罗17号登月舱的后备飞行员
- As lunar module pilot of Apollo 16 (April 16-27, 1972) Mr. Duke was accompanied on the fifth manned lunar mission by John W. Young(宇宙飞船指挥官)和Thomas K. 马丁利2号(指挥舱飞行员).
In December 1975, Duke retired from NASA to enter private business in San Antonio. He entered the USAF Reserves in 1975 and served as Mobilization Augmentee to Commander AF Basic Military Training Center and to Commander USAF Recruiting Service. He was promoted to Brigadier General in 1979 and retired in June, 1986. 自1976年以来,先生. Duke has been involved in a wide variety of business and is currently a public speaker of international renown on topics that range from delivering under pressure, 团队准备和太空探索.
