“I was the one who named the command module ‘Kitty Hawk.’ I did it to honor the place where it all began with the Wright Brothers and felt this name was most appropriate.” -Stuart Roosa |

This is a photo of the CSM "Kitty Hawk" taken from the Lunar Module. As Alan Shepard descended towards the Moon, he took this earthrise photo showing a sliver of the Earth rising above the Moon. While Stuart Roosa carried tree seeds in his PPK (Personal Property Kit), Alan Shepard carried golf balls. When Alan Shepard was on the Moon, he made a handle into a golf club and shot two golf balls. |
